Status Page Compare

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 8 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.

  • 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.

  • Instatus

    Fast, cheap status pages with an unusually generous free tier.

    Best for: Small teams who want a credible public status page without a per-subscriber bill.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Status.io

    A long-running independent alternative with strong audience segmentation.

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