24 alternatives to Supercheck

Hi HN, We built Supercheck – an open source platform that combines test automation and uptime monitoring in one self-hosted solution. *The Problem:* Most monitoring tools are expensive SaaS products that charge per check. Test automation and monitoring are often separate concerns, using different tools and workflows. We wanted a unified platform where you can write a Playwright test once and use it for both CI/CD testing and production monitoring and use same tool for k6 performance tests too. *What Supercheck Does:* Testing: - Playwright browser tests (UI/E2E) with screenshots,…

    Hi HN, As PMs (Google, Gopuff, Shiji), my cofounder and I ran hundreds of user tests over the years. And every time it felt broken: It could take 2–5 days just to get enough usable results We spent hours watching recordings to extract a handful of insights “Professional testers” rushed through tasks for pay, creating biased feedback Platforms often started at €10k+ per year, with hidden fees on top The result: slow iteration cycles, unreliable feedback, and user testing that often felt like a tax rather than a tool. We started asking: what if AI could help? Could synthetic users replicate…

    Hey HN, we’re Nico and Arseniy, co-founders of Superlog (https://superlog.sh). We're building a self-installing, self healing observability tool meant not to be opened. It has a wizard that daily sets up proper logging and an agent that investigates errors and opens PRs. Super short demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFhU9Mk247M. In our earlier startups, we tried Sentry, Datadog, Grafana, Dash0, and nothing was good enough. Proper telemetry and alerting still requires a ton of manual setup. We struggled with adding good logs, so debugging was tough, especially as…

    Hi, I'm Daniel, CEO of QA.tech. We've spent the past 18 months developing a cool tool that allows you to run end-to-end tests on any web application using natural language. Check it out and let us know what you think! I used to be a CTO at a B2C marketplace and was taken aback that all qa agencies we talked to wanted to create a custom suite of tests from scratch. Even though we were essentially a e-com with the same functionality as everyone else. Why weren't there any best practices? Some time later my co-founders and I had moved on and were looking for the next thing to do. AI agents…

    I built a free SaaS uptime monitoring solution that helps you track whether your websites and services are running. Key features: Clean, modern UI for monitoring multiple endpoints Real-time status updates and response time tracking Instant notifications when services go down Easy setup and configuration Built with modern web technologies (Next.js, React) I created this because I wanted a simple and beautiful solution for monitoring my own services without relying on overpriced third-party providers. The focus is on simplicity and reliability. Would love feedback from the HN community on…

    Hey HN. We’re Jay and Vadim from Highlight.io (https://highlight.io). We’re building an open source [1] monitoring platform for web applications. Today we’re excited to be sharing a performance tool we’ve been working on, which helps you inspect the latency of code execution from the client to the server. As engineers at past startups, we often had to debug slow queries, poor load times, inconsistent errors, etc... While tools like Jaegar [2] helped us inspect server-side performance, we had no way to tie user events to the traces we were inspecting. In other words, although we had…

    Hey HN, we’re Robert and Sam. We’re building Alchemize, a code review platform that simplifies PRs to help you ship faster. Here’s a demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/simplify-pr-reviews-with-alchemiz... Sample to try: https://app.tryalchemize.com/example Agentic coding has 10x’d code output. Teams are opening larger PRs more frequently, but the current tools don’t support this new coding paradigm. GitHub still presents files without structure. As engineers reviewing these massive diffs more frequently, we spent hours painstakingly reconstructing where…

    Hey HN, I'm Andrei, and together with my co-founder Roman have been working on a tool called Reviewradar. Working with startups, doing interviews and sifting through endless software reviews are daunting tasks. So, we built a chatbot that lets you chat with over 3 million reviews from more than 100K SaaS products. With Reviewradar, you can ask questions like: - create a comprehensive SWOT analysis for both Notion and Obsidian - give me negative feedback and complaints you have about Postmark - summarise the reviews you have on products in the OCR category I would love to get your feedback on…

    Hi HN — I built Superexpert.AI, an open‑source platform that lets you spin up multi‑task AI agents in minutes without writing any code (and lets you extend everything later). What it does - Plug‑and‑play agents – Create agents from a web form. Each agent can contain multiple tasks, and each task can run a different AI model, use its own tools, and follow custom instructions. - First‑class extensibility – Register a TypeScript function with registerServerTool, registerClientTool, or registerContextTool to add new functionality. If you want to share it, publish it as an NPM package and…

    I built BuzzBench because I was frustrated with how complex performance testing tools have become. And I was ending up writing my own scripts to test endpoints and manually check out resource usage at the time of testing. Checkout demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAnbZMoQvmQ
