Why teams pick the EU-first option
Vartio runs application infrastructure on Hetzner Cloud in EU regions, monitors from Helsinki, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam, and uses EU-based subprocessors (EuroMail for delivery, Stripe for billing). Our DPA reflects that — no DPF workarounds, no “EU region” flag on a US-built platform.
Hyperping is headquartered in Paris, France (EU). Always confirm the current subprocessor list against your own DPA before switching — the answer is what your auditor signs, not what we publish.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Hyperping EU-based?
- Hyperping is run from Paris and has European-friendly defaults. As always, check the vendor's current DPA for the exact residency and subprocessor list when compliance is part of your buying criteria.
- What does Vartio offer that Hyperping does not?
- Multi-step checks, services grouping, label-based alert routing, performance alerts on p95/p99, and a public OpenAPI spec are the main additions. Day-to-day uptime monitoring is fairly comparable.
- Which is cheaper?
- Entry-level pricing is similar. Compare the monitor count and check interval included in each plan, since that drives the real cost at scale.
