atlassian.com8.7
out of 10
Best for: Engineering and support teams that want the most widely recognized status page format with a free tier and room to grow into private and audience-specific pages.
Atlassian Statuspage is the format many customers already recognize when they check whether a service is down. Every plan includes incidents, scheduled maintenances, incident templates, component groups, page analytics, third-party components, a status embed and REST API access. You can show the status of more than 150 third-party services your product relies on, and Uptime Showcase displays historical uptime for sales conversations.
The free plan covers 100 subscribers, 25 components and two team members with email, Slack and Teams notifications. Hobby at $29 per month adds a custom domain and 250 subscribers. SMS and webhook notifications, custom CSS and team SSO through Atlassian Guard start on Startup at $99, while component subscriptions and role-based access control need Business at $399. Private pages for employees are a separate product from $79 per month, and audience-specific pages start at $300. The price climbs quickly with subscriber counts, so map your audience size before you commit.

Rank 2 · Runner-up
Better Stack
Observability platform whose status pages are built on top of its uptime monitoring, on-call scheduling and incident management.
betterstack.com8.6
out of 10
Best for: Engineering teams that want uptime checks, on-call alerts and a customer status page in one product.
Better Stack treats the status page as the public end of its monitoring and incident tooling. The page runs on your own subdomain after one CNAME record, offers vertical or horizontal layouts, dark mode and translations, and lets customers subscribe to the entire page or only the components they use. Incidents, scheduled maintenance and service announcements can be posted by hand or triggered automatically from uptime checks that run every 30 seconds and capture a screenshot of the error.
The free plan includes 10 monitors and heartbeats and 1 status page. A Responder license, which unlocks incidents, on-call and status pages with unlimited phone and SMS alerts, costs $29 per month billed annually or $34 monthly. One status page and 1,000 subscribers are included. Extras are priced per page: another public page is $12 per month annually, custom CSS and JavaScript $12, password protection $42, and white-label, SSO or IP allowlisting $208 each. Small teams get a lot for free, but private or white-label pages add up.
Standout feature
Status pages, uptime checks and on-call scheduling share one platform, so a failing check can update the page for you.
Use cases
Startup engineering teams
Connect uptime monitors to a free branded status page
Outcome: Customers see outages as soon as checks fail
On-call engineers
Acknowledge an alert and publish an incident update from the same tool
Outcome: Less switching between paging and communication
Global products
Translate the status page for foreign customers
Outcome: Clearer updates for users outside the US
Key features
- Branded status page on your own subdomain with a single CNAME record
- Subscribers can follow the whole page or selected components
- Incidents, scheduled maintenance and service announcements, automated or manual
- Embedded response time charts and custom metrics
- Built-in uptime monitoring with 30-second checks, screenshots and on-call schedules
Pros
- Free plan includes 10 monitors and heartbeats plus 1 status page
- 1,000 subscribers included before paying $40 per extra 1,000
- Status updates can be driven by the same monitors that page the on-call engineer
Cons
- White-label, SSO and IP allowlisting cost $208 to $250 per page per month on annual billing
- Custom CSS and JavaScript are a per-page add-on
- Pricing spans many products, so the total takes some modeling
Rank 3 · Also great
Instatus
Status page and uptime monitoring tool with flat, non per-seat plans and a free forever tier.
instatus.com8.5
out of 10
Best for: Small and mid-sized teams that want a fast, inexpensive public status page with monitoring included.
Instatus focuses on getting a clean status page live quickly and pairs it with monitoring and on-call features. The free Starter plan includes 15 monitors with 2-minute checks, email alerts, 5 team members, 2 on-call members, a public status page and 200 subscribers, though no custom domain. Pro starts at $20 per month and raises the limits to 50 monitors with 30-second checks, email and SMS alerts, 50 team members, 20 on-call members, a custom domain and 5,000 subscribers.
Business moves to 1,000 monitors, SMS and phone call alerts, SAML SSO, all status page types and 25,000 subscribers, and Enterprise adds SCIM directory sync and a 99.99% uptime SLA. Instatus says plans are flat with no per-seat fees, which keeps costs predictable for larger teams. Yearly billing is advertised at 25% off, and nonprofits and open-source projects can email for a free Pro account. The tradeoff is fewer page types and integrations at the low end than Statuspage.
Standout feature
Pro includes 50 team members and 5,000 subscribers at a flat price instead of charging per seat.

incident.io Status Pages
Status pages built into incident.io's Slack and Microsoft Teams native incident response and on-call platform.
incident.io8.4
out of 10
Best for: Teams that run incidents in Slack or Teams and want status updates prompted inside the incident workflow.
incident.io builds its status pages into an incident management product that runs inside Slack or Microsoft Teams. Because the page is part of the incident workflow, responders are prompted to post an update when it matters, and they can use templates with pre-approved messaging or automate updates entirely. Customers subscribe by email, Slack or RSS, and an Intercom integration lets support teams keep customers informed. The product can also raise an internal alert when traffic to the status page spikes, which is often an early signal that users have noticed a problem.
The free Basic plan includes Slack or Teams native incident response, single-team on-call and a status page. Team costs $15 per user per month billed annually or $19 monthly and adds multi-team on-call and workflows, with on-call itself at $10 per user extra. Page subscribers are unlimited on every plan, but Basic, Team and Pro include one public page, and customer pages and unlimited public pages are on Enterprise.
Standout feature
Status updates are prompted from inside the incident workflow, and traffic spikes on the page can trigger an internal alert.
Use cases
SRE teams
Get prompted to post a status update when an incident is declared in Slack
Outcome: Customers hear about outages sooner
Support leads
Share status updates through Intercom
Outcome: Agents answer customers without leaving their inbox

- Intercom integration so support can share updates without switching tools
Pros
- Basic plan is free forever and includes a status page

- Incident response, on-call and status pages live in one tool
Cons
- Pricing is per user, so cost grows with responders
- Basic, Team and Pro include one public page; unlimited public pages need Enterprise

UptimeRobot
Uptime monitoring service with status pages, subscriber notifications and a free plan with 50 monitors.
uptimerobot.com8.2
out of 10
Best for: Small teams and agencies that mainly need monitoring and want simple status pages included.
UptimeRobot is best known for uptime monitoring, and its status pages extend that monitoring to customers. The free plan includes 50 monitors with 5-minute checks and basic status pages. The Solo plan adds 60-second checks, every monitor type including SSL and DNS, and 3 status pages on your own domain. Team raises that to 100 white-labeled status pages with 30-second checks and 3 login seats, and Scale offers unlimited status pages and 15-second checks.
Status pages can be customized with a layout, brand colors, logo and font, translated into 11 languages, protected with a password for internal use and opted out of search engines. Subscribers receive email updates, and you can add your own Google Analytics code. What you do not get is the depth of incident templates, component subscriptions or SMS subscriber notifications found in dedicated status page tools. Our location showed prices in euros, so we have not confirmed a USD starting price.

openstatus
Status page and uptime monitoring service with multi-region checks, unlimited team members and a free Hobby plan.
openstatus.dev8.1
out of 10
Best for: Developer-led teams that want a modern status page with monitoring from many regions at a low flat price.
openstatus combines a status page with uptime monitoring and is aimed at developer teams. Components attach to monitors so uptime bars fill in from real checks, and you can add external services you depend on but do not run. Groups take the worst status of their members. Subscribers can follow updates by email, Slack, RSS, Atom, a JSON feed or SSH, and reports are timestamped and archived, which helps with audit evidence.
The free Hobby plan includes one monitor, one status page with three components and a 10-minute check interval. Starter costs $30 per month, or $25 per month billed annually, and covers 1 status page, 20 components, 20 monitors with 1-minute checks, a custom domain, subscribers and unlimited team members. Pro at $100 adds a custom theme, 5 pages and 30-second checks. Add-ons are where costs grow: white label is $300 per month on Starter and Pro, and SSO is $250. A 14-day Starter trial needs no card.

Status page platform with unlimited pages per plan, multi-language pages, monitoring and incident management.
statuspal.io8.0
out of 10
Best for: Companies that serve customers in several languages or need many status pages under one account.
Statuspal stands out for letting each plan run unlimited status pages, which helps companies with several products, regions or brands. Hobby at $46 per month covers unlimited public pages, 5 team members, 500 subscribers and 10 monitored services in any one language. Startup at $99 adds private pages, 20 team members, 1,000 subscribers, 30 monitored services, two languages and the status of external services.

Hosted status page service with incidents, planned maintenance, wide notification channels and private pages behind SSO or IP rules.
status.io7.9
out of 10
Best for: Mid-sized and larger companies that need many notification channels, private access controls and full design control.
Status.io covers the full set of status page duties with an emphasis on notification reach and access control. Incidents update component statuses automatically, planned maintenance sends reminders before it starts, and a history page keeps a record of past events. Updates can go out by email, SMS through Twilio or Vonage, webhook, RSS, iCalendar, IRC, Microsoft Teams, Slack and Twitter/X. Metrics charts pull from New Relic, Pingdom or a custom API, and containers let you model locations or sub-services linked to several components.
Private pages can be restricted with SSO through OIDC or SAML providers such as Okta, Azure and Google, or limited to specific IP addresses. Designers can inject their own HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Basic costs $79 per month with 500 subscribers, 5 team members and 5 metrics, Standard is $149 and Plus is $349 with 5,000 subscribers and 50 team members. Annual billing saves 5%. There is no free plan, so it suits teams with budget and complex requirements.

Sorry
UK-based status page service for incidents, scheduled maintenance and product notices with a single subscriber profile across pages.
sorryapp.com7.7
out of 10
Best for: Teams that want one simple plan covering public status updates, maintenance notices and changelog posts.
Sorry is a focused status page service that treats incidents, scheduled maintenance and general product notices as one communication stream. That means the page your customers already check can also carry changelog entries, security advisories and release notes. Each subscriber has a single profile tied to their email address and chooses channels and components once across every page you run.
The base plan costs $99 per month billed monthly and includes 1,000 subscribers, 5 team members, incident metrics, component subscriptions, email plus Slack, Teams and Google Chat notifications, a custom domain, the REST and Status APIs, SAML SSO with any provider and role-based access control. Private status pages and additional pages are add-ons, and extra team members start at $5 each per month. Status page collections bring several products into one page. The 7-day trial needs no card. There is no free tier, so it costs more to start than most rivals, but SSO is included from day one.
Standout feature
General notices let the status page double as a changelog and announcement channel.
Use cases
B2B SaaS teams
Post maintenance notices and changelog entries on the status page
Outcome: Customers find outages and product updates in one place
Security-conscious companies
Give team members SAML SSO on the base plan

Hund
Usage-based status page platform with built-in monitoring, custom status semantics and private deployments for government.
hund.io7.6
out of 10
Best for: Organizations that want monitoring-driven status pages with unlimited users, or public sector teams with data residency needs.
Hund ties its status pages closely to monitoring. Native watchdogs check HTTP(S), TCP ports and DNS records from a global probe network, and components can also update automatically from PagerDuty, New Relic, AWS CloudWatch, Pingdom and Uptime Robot. A dead man's switch webhook opens an outage when a cron job or internal task stops checking in. The Semantics feature lets you define statuses beyond operational, degraded and outage, with their own colors and icons.
Pricing is usage-based. Components come in packs of 20 at $29 per pack for the first 40, with lower rates after that, and each status page includes 20 components. Managed email subscribers are free for the first 250, then billed per subscriber, and using your own mail provider is free. Every plan includes unlimited users, a custom domain with HTTPS, CSS, HTML and JavaScript customization and role-based access control. A Sovereign Enterprise option offers isolated deployments for US agencies. The pricing model is fair but takes more work to estimate.
Standout feature
Custom status semantics let you publish states such as Delayed Processing instead of a plain degraded label.
Use cases
Data platform teams
Use custom statuses such as Delayed Processing
Outcome: Customers understand partial problems more precisely
Ops teams
Open an outage automatically when a cron job misses its check-in
Outcome: Silent failures reach the status page
Public sector IT
Run Hund on an isolated Sovereign Enterprise deployment
Outcome: Status communication that meets data residency requirements
Key features
- Native monitoring for HTTP(S), TCP ports, DNS and more from global probes
- Automatic component updates from PagerDuty, New Relic, AWS CloudWatch, Pingdom and Uptime Robot
- Semantics feature for custom statuses such as Partial Outage or Delayed Processing
- Dead man's switch webhook to start an outage when a job fails to check in
- Maintenance windows, incident templates and retrospective issues
Pros
- Unlimited users, traffic and issues on every plan
- Custom domain with HTTPS and CSS, HTML and JavaScript customization included
- 30-day free trial without a credit card
Cons
- Usage-based pricing takes more effort to estimate
- Managed email subscribers beyond 250 are billed per subscriber
- SSO is an account-level upgrade
Frequently asked questions
+What is the best status page tool in 2026?
Atlassian Statuspage is our top pick because it offers public, private and audience-specific pages, includes incident templates, maintenance and REST API access on every plan, and has a free plan with 100 subscribers. Better Stack and Instatus are the strongest alternatives.
+Is there a free status page tool?
Yes. Statuspage, Better Stack, Instatus, incident.io, UptimeRobot and openstatus all have free plans. Instatus includes 200 subscribers and 15 monitors free, Better Stack includes 1 status page and 10 monitors, and incident.io includes a status page with unlimited subscribers on its Basic plan.
+How much does a status page cost?
Paid plans start at $20 per month for Instatus Pro, $29 for Statuspage Hobby, $29 per responder license billed annually for Better Stack and $30 for openstatus Starter. Statuspal starts at $46, Status.io at $79 and Sorry at $99 per month, and incident.io charges $15 per user per month billed annually.
+What is the difference between a public and a private status page?
A public page is open to anyone and is used to update customers during incidents and maintenance. A private page is restricted to employees or selected customers through login, SSO, passwords or IP rules, and is used for internal tools or sensitive services.
+Should a status page update automatically from monitoring?
Automatic updates help customers learn about outages quickly, and Better Stack, Instatus, openstatus, UptimeRobot and Hund include monitoring for that purpose. Many teams still review wording by hand, which is why tools such as Statuspage and incident.io offer templates with pre-approved messages.
