7 Best Statuspage Alternatives in 2024

Statuspage by Atlassian is one of the main status page providers. It is undoubtedly a great tool with great functionality. However, for many smaller teams and hobbyists, there are many alternatives that offer similar services at a much more affordable price point. For enterprises and larger companies, other tools provide specific functionalities that are underserved by Atlassian.

Quick tools list

Because of that, we have compiled this list of status page alternatives to give you the information you need to make an informed decision. We have compiled this list of alternatives, looking specifically at two things: features and pricing. Let's have a look at the best tools for DevOps teams to look at when they have had it with Statuspage and want a new status page tool.

Statuspage alternatives:

1. Better Stack

Better Stack combines incident management, uptime monitoring, and status pages into a single beautifully designed product.

Their incident management offers easy-to-use on-call calendar scheduling, which can be done in-app or easily integrated with Google Calendar. Similar to Pagerduty, there are advanced team management and access features.

When it comes to alerting, Better Stack offers unlimited phone call and SMS alerts on all paid plans. Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations are available along with embedding incident screenshots and debugging information directly in alerts.

The main benefit of Better Stack is that it has built-in synthetic monitoring. They offer HTTP(s), ping, SSL&TLD expiration, cron job, and port monitoring. Those monitors can be integrated with on-call alerts without the need to integrate any third-party monitoring tools like Pingdom or Uptime Robot.

When it comes to integrations, Better Stack offers a wide range of monitoring and analytical integrations that are ideal for more demanding users. The most interesting ones are probably Heroku, New Relic, Datadog, AWS, and Grafana.

A cherry on the top of Better Stack is their free status page. They have a beautifully designed status page, which is connected to all the existing monitors and can be edited in seconds. Their status pages can be fully customized and published on a custom domain. Paid plans also allow users to set up password-protected pages as well as e-mail and API status subscriptions.

💰 Pricing:

2. Instatus

Instatus is a new alternative to Atlassian's Statuspage. They offer a free status page with unlimited subscribers and unlimited teams, but the catch is that it is not on a custom domain. Their paid plan then starts at $20/month and offers the same product but with the option to get it on a custom domain. Instatus is a very well-designed tool that is quite similar to the Status page and focuses on distinguishing itself mainly with reasonable pricing for smaller teams. The feature list includes things you would expect, like email subscriptions, scheduled maintenance, or incident templates. Instatus also has an API and integrates with incident management tools like Pagerduty.

✅ Pros:

• Quickly create customizable status pages
• Self-hosting
• Notify users about incidents in real-time with integrated notifications (email, Slack, etc.)
• Offers both public and private status pages for internal team use
• Pre-built templates make it easy to log incidents and provide detailed updates

⚙️ Supported Integrations:

• Slack
• Intercom
• Twitter
• Microsoft Teams
• Discord

❌ Cons:

• Self-hosting
• No built-in uptime monitoring requires integration with third-party tools
• Fewer third-party integrations compared to other platforms
• May lack more advanced features, like root cause analysis, compared to competitors

💰 Pricing:

Instatus offers three tiers, starting with a free plan offering unlimited teammates and subscribers, a pro plan starting at $20, and a business plan starting at $300.

3. Statuspal.io

Statuspal delivers many of the same features as Statuspage, with a focus on affordability. It supports both public and private status pages, offers custom CSS and HTML, and is designed for team collaboration with options for status page subscriptions.

Their business plan, a compelling alternative to Statuspage, starts at $229/month, covering up to 30 team members, 5,000 subscribers, and over 100 monitored services. However, for smaller teams or hobbyists, Statuspal’s pricing may feel steep—the single-status page plan at $29/month can be difficult to justify given other options.

Statuspal integrates broadly with monitoring, incident management, and ChatOps tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams, as well as communication tools like Twilio and Twitter.

✅ Pros:

• Built-in uptime monitoring and real-time status updates
• Fully branded status pages
• Multi-language status pages to serve a global audience
• Includes incident tracking, notifications, and post-mortem reporting
• Supports both public and private status pages for different user groups
• Works with Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, and more
• Provides detailed analytics on incident performance and uptime history

⚙️ Supported Integrations:

• Mattermost
• Intercom
• Pagerduty
• Datadog

Check the list of all Statuspal integrations here.

❌ Cons:

• May require more setup and configuration to get the look you want
• Branding included in paid plans

💰 Pricing:

Statuspal has a 14-day trial but normally offers four pricing plans— Hobby, Startup, Business, and Enterprise. All plans include an unlimited number of status pages with the difference in subscribers the hobby plan includes 500, startup 1000, etc.

4. Upptime (open source)

Upptime allows users to use GitHub Actions to schedule workflows to run automatically in pre-set time intervals. The shortest interval that is allowed is 5 minutes. This means that Upptime checks your website automatically every 5 minutes and reflects your website status on the status page.

Once a day, Upptime generates graphs of the site's response times. With this, you can easily see and broadcast your long-term stats. Lastly, Upptime website also offers some customization options. Those include an option to change the logo, copy, graphs, and more.

Overall Upptime is a very nicely designed open-source status page tool, with plenty of functionality, customization options, and well-maintained documentation.

✅ Pros:

• 100% free and open-source, hosted on GitHub, with no ongoing costs
• Utilizes GitHub Actions for uptime monitoring, issue tracking, and automated updates
• Fully customizable status pages that can be hosted on GitHub Pages
• Automatically generates reports, logs incidents, and commits to your GitHub repository
• As an open-source tool, you have full control over your data and hosting
• Backed by a strong community for guidance, troubleshooting, and contributions

⚙️Supported Integrations:

• Need to set up on your own.

❌ Cons:

• Lacks native support for alerting (e.g., email, SMS); requires third-party integrations
• More technical to set up compared to hosted solutions
• Lacks customer support since it's an open-source project
• No advanced features like incident management, analytics, or SLA tracking

💰 Pricing:

Upptime is free.

5. Cachet (open source)

Cachet uses Bootstrap 3 to deliver responsive status pages that work well on any device. They offer basic uptime monitors and a great chart dashboard. With their API you can easily set up any metrics you want, be it uptime, error rates, or response times.

There is also an option to schedule maintenance and communicate it easily to users or other stakeholders.

A great benefit to anyone looking for extra security is that Cachet offers two-factor authentication, which is compatible with the Google Authenticator app.

✅ Pros:

• 100% free to use and self-host, with full access to the source code
• Highly customizable status pages
• Includes built-in incident tracking, status updates, and post-incident reports
• Allows you to track uptime and performance metrics, offering visual charts on the status page
• Supports multiple languages, making it suitable for global users
• Offers both public and private status pages for different user groups

⚙️ Supported Integrations:

• Hubot
• Sensu
• Nagios
• Salt
• Pingometer

Check the list of all Cachet integrations here.

❌ Cons:

• Requires technical knowledge to set up, maintain, and host (e.g., configuring a server)
• Lacks built-in uptime monitoring; you need to integrate third-party tools
• Since it’s self-hosted, you are responsible for updates, security patches, and server management
• Basic notification system compared to managed services (limited to email)

💰 Pricing:

As an open-source project, Cachet is free.

6. Statping (open source)

Statping has slightly more features included in its dashboard compared to Cachet and Upptime. The main benefit of Statping is that it offers status announcements, which come in different color schemes to quickly inform users of the current situation. The 3 main announcements are downtime, update, and resolved messages.

Visually is Statping also slightly better as it offers a dedicated chart for each monitored site. These charts include average response time, uptime, and a time picker to allow for detailed exploration of the historical data.

However, the main benefit of Statping is the notifiers, which are built-in. Those include Slack, Discord, Telegram, Webhooks, and emailing.

For those who don't want to host and maintain your status page, there is a hosted option as well, which costs $6/month.

✅ Pros:

• Completely free and open-source, self-hosted tool for monitoring and status pages
• Monitors multiple services (websites, APIs, databases) and displays their status on a single page
• Fully customizable status pages with a simple and clean UI
• Email, Slack, Telegram, and other platforms alerting
• Built-in incident reporting and history to log and track service outages
• Compared to some open-source tools, it's relatively easy to set up and use

⚙️Supported Integrations:

• Slack
• Email
• Twilio

Check the list of all Statping integrations here.

❌ Cons:

• Lacks more advanced features like analytics, post-mortems, or detailed SLA reporting
• Needs external monitoring tools to fully track uptime, as it focuses on status page creation
• Less frequent, leading to potential bugs or security concerns

💰 Pricing:

Statping is free.

7. Statusfy (open source)

Statusfy is another tool to consider, especially when looking for advanced announcement options. Compared to other tools on this list, Statusfy offers tagging, timestamps, categorization, and timelines of different incident and status update announcements. This comes in handy when you need to communicate with your users and want to use the status page as the main way to do so.

On the other hand, Statusfy doesn't have charts which is a significant downside for anyone looking to broadcast uptime or incident times data. The notification options are also quite limited with only basic subscription options via Web Push, iCalendar, and Twitter available.

✅ Pros:

• Completely free and open-source, with self-hosting capabilities
• Built on a static site generator (Vue.js and Nuxt.js), which makes it lightweight, fast, and scalable
• Highly customizable status pages that can be tailored to match your brand's look and feel

⚙️Supported Integrations:

• Email

Check the list of all Statusfy integrations here.

❌ Cons:

• Self-hosted
• Needs technical knowledge to set up, customize, and deploy (requires familiarity with Vue.js and static site generators)
• Lacks built-in uptime monitoring; you need to integrate third-party tools for monitoring and alerting
• Lacks advanced features like notifications (email/SMS), SLA reporting, or performance analytics

💰 Pricing:

Statusfy is free.

TLDR tools list:

What is the difference between open source and paid solutions?

There are two main differences between the open-source and paid status pages. The first one is that open-source pages are not hosted, while the paid ones are. The second one is that paid pages provide subscription abilities for both users and admins.

There are plenty of other differences like customisability, team access, or integration availability (especially with synthetic monitoring tools), which are usually provided by the paid solutions, but not by the open source ones.

When considering what solution to pick, the hosting and update subscription questions should be answered first. The hosting vs not-hosted question really depends on your technical capabilities and willingness to set it up.

When it comes to subscription capabilities it is slightly more complicated. As a rule of thumb if you have users and/or customers that rely heavily on your service with their day-to-day operations you should opt for subscriptions. The reason behind this is that once you set up the status page you can either subscribe or ask them to subscribe for status updates. When there is an incident they will all receive a notification about it and you don't have to worry about getting your support channels overwhelmed.

If you have an e-commerce site or a hobby project you can go with an open-source tool as subscriptions are probably not for you. However please be careful. With a hosted solution (especially when providing reasonable SLA uptime) you can stay calm that it will work all the time, but with an open-source one, all the responsibility lies on you.

What are the benefits of having a status page?

There are two main benefits of having a status page: Lower support costs and higher customer trust.

The lower support costs will come as a result of users and customers checking your status page and reading your system announcements instead of just directly going to your support page and submitting a ticket.

To achieve it, you will first need to have a reachable and easily rememberable URL for your page. The best practice is to go for the status.yourdomain.com format. Since it's used by major companies, many people often try to check this URL by default.

For less tech-savvy people, it's recommended to also include a link to your status page on your website or in your product to make sure they can easily reach it. Of course, in case of downtime, this won't be an option, and because of that, it's recommended to have a subscription option for your status page users.

What a status page subscription does is that it allows everyone to receive a notification (usually an email) whenever your website goes down.

Once a status page is set up and its existence communicated to users, one can start building trust by being transparent about incidents and communicating them before they are even noticed by users. When this becomes a standard, users will know that if something goes wrong, you will be the first one to let them know, which marks a first step towards building trust with your users.
