PostShip or Checkly
Checkly tests what you wrote. PostShip checks what you just shipped.
Checkly is the right tool when a team is ready to write and maintain browser scripts. PostShip is made for whoever deploys and wants the answer without writing a test.
What Checkly does
Monitoring written as code: Playwright tests and API checks kept in the repository, run from twenty-two regions, deployed with the CLI or Terraform.
Line by line
| What you need to know | Checkly | PostShip |
|---|---|---|
| A real browser clicking through the pageOn Pro and Pro Plus, a PostShip journey chains up to 8 clicks and entries in an isolated browser, with no code, and stops before payment. The rest of the funnel is read with requests. | Yes | Partly |

Which one to choose
Checkly is the right choice if
- Your team already writes Playwright tests and wants to run them in production.
- You need a journey clicked in a real browser, forms and JavaScript included.
- You manage your infrastructure in Terraform and want monitoring in the same place.
PostShip is the right choice if
- You want to know whether the last deploy broke sales, without writing or maintaining a test.
- You'd rather paste an address and see the payment pages found for you.
- A French interface, alerts and support matter to you.
Both, often. A team that keeps its Checkly tests for critical journeys can plug PostShip into its host: it checks every release, and the rest of the pages nobody scripted.
