What it is
VoIP Spear monitors network quality for real-time services such as calls, video, and gaming. It measures MOS, jitter, packet loss, and latency, and grades endpoint results on a 1-to-5 scale. The FAQ says endpoints are tested every 60 seconds. Users can configure alerts to choose who is notified and how often when quality falls below standard. Testing uses ping by default; SIP OPTIONS or UDP testing is also available by contacting VoIP Spear. The service says it has servers in more than 15 major cities across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific. Its Sentry software runs in the background on Windows and Mac to measure network quality continuously. The API uses JSON over HTTPS and supports GET, POST, PATCH, and DELETE; access depends on the plan, and requests beyond the root URL require Basic authentication and a dedicated API-category user account. Lite costs $14.95 a month, Plus $29.95 a month, and Premium $59.95 a month. All plans include a 30-day trial.
