Alternatives to Trippy

Combines traceroute and ping into one live interface showing loss and latency at every hop along a route. The listings below can replace it for an important use case. Each note says what changes if you switch.

Replacements

Listings that take over the same core job as Trippy.

  • mtr

    Combines traceroute and ping into one continuously updating report.

    FreeOpen sourcemacOSLinuxCommand line

    mtr is the long-established GPL-2.0 tool combining traceroute and ping, with a report mode for support tickets, but it runs on macOS and Linux only and has no GeoIP lookups.

  • PingPlotter

    Visualizes latency and packet loss hop-by-hop to find where a connection breaks down.

    FreemiumProprietaryWindowsmacOS

    PingPlotter shows hop-by-hop latency and loss in a graphical timeline on Windows and macOS, but it is closed source and the free tier is limited compared with paid plans.

  • WinMTR Redux

    Inspect network paths with the WinMTR Redux desktop tool.

    FreeOpen sourceWindows

    WinMTR Redux is a GPL-2.0 Windows desktop tool for repeated path measurements with IPv6 support, replacing Trippy's terminal interface with a Windows-only graphical window.

Also worth comparing

These listings name Trippy as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.

  • gping

    Ping with a live graph, so you can see latency spikes and packet loss instead of reading a column of numbers.

    FreeOpen sourceWindowsmacOSLinuxCommand line

    Trippy shows live loss and latency at every hop with GeoIP and AS lookups, so it locates where a problem starts rather than only graphing one target.

  • iputils

    The Linux ping, tracepath, arping and related network utilities.

    FreeOpen sourceLinuxCommand line

    Trippy offers live per-hop loss and latency with ICMP, UDP and TCP tracing on Linux, BSD, macOS and Windows, instead of separate minimal tools.

  • NextTrace

    An open-source command-line traceroute tool that shows geolocation and ASN details for each hop.

    FreeOpen sourceCommand line

    Trippy adds a live per-hop loss and latency view with GeoIP and AS lookups, and has packages for Linux, BSD, macOS and Windows, under Apache-2.0.
