I'm myself very happy with <a href="https://healthchecks.io/" rel="nofollow">https://healthchecks.io/ for this purpose.
Because OP is trying to promote his project and get feedback, and you post about a competing product, to me the message is: don't look at the project OP wants you to check out, I've been using this instead and and it's amazing!
Who cares what you're using, I see show HN posts to be about OP's project, seems like a dick move to me to diverge attention to some other project. I just don't understand the motivation
I never read such comments in that way, the way I read them is actually like feedback to OP around benchmarking against competition.
Personally I love knowing about my competition, and it helps me with how I can differentiate and win over certain niches.
I don't know about OP, but I'm never offended by that, always grateful, helps me craft my message and delivery to the right audience and map out strategy.
I try not to over read into the open internet motivation behind end users, they may become customers, so I rather welcome them and seek to understand rather than judge.
