Status Page Tools Compared: Pricing and Features (2026)

A hosted status page is how you tell customers that something is broken before they open a ticket. The tools below all do that core job; they differ mostly in how notifications work, whether monitoring is bundled in, how much you can white-label, and what the per-subscriber costs look like once you have real traffic.

The 15 tools we track

  • Atlassian Statuspage

    The category incumbent, and the default if you already live in Atlassian.

    Best for: Organisations already standardised on Atlassian, or anyone who needs enterprise controls signed off.

  • Better Stack

    Monitoring, on-call and status pages sold as one product.

    Best for: Teams buying monitoring and a status page at the same time who want one vendor.

  • Cachet

    The long-standing open-source status page you host yourself.

    Best for: Teams that must keep incident data in-house and have someone to run it.

  • Freshstatus

    Freshworks' status page, cheapest if you are already in their suite.

    Best for: Existing Freshdesk or Freshservice customers.

  • Hyperping

    Uptime monitoring plus status pages, aimed at small engineering teams.

    Best for: Small teams who want monitoring and a status page bundled without enterprise complexity.

  • OpenStatus

    Open-source monitoring and status pages, hosted or self-run.

    Best for: Teams with a self-hosting requirement, or who want to avoid vendor lock-in on incident data.

    Best for: Small teams that want an attractive status page without design work.

  • Sorry

    A status-page-only tool that treats incident comms as the product.

    Best for: Teams with monitoring already solved who only need the customer-facing comms layer.

    Best for: Vendors who need different customers to see different views of the same infrastructure.

    Uptime monitoring with public status pages included.

  • Upptime

    A status page powered entirely by GitHub Actions, with no server to run.

    Best for: Open-source projects and developers already living in GitHub who want a zero-cost page.

  • Uptime.com

    Enterprise-leaning monitoring with white-label status pages.

    Best for: Teams that need monitoring depth and SLA reporting alongside the page.

    Widely used uptime monitoring with simple public status pages.
