Here's what I'd actually reach for, in order:\n\n**1. Better Stack** - My default recommendation for most stores. It bundles the status page with uptime monitoring, on-call scheduling, and incident management, so the same product that detects your checkout is down also updates the page and pages a human. For a small team that doesn't want three subscriptions, this is the one. ([Checkly's roundup](https://www.checklyhq.com/blog/status-page-tools/))\n\n**2. Instatus** - Best value if you mostly just need a good-looking public page. Genuinely usable free tier, $20/mo Pro gets you a custom domain and 5,000 subscribers, which is a lot of email/SMS notifications for the money compared to Atlassian. One warning: there is nothing between the $20 Pro plan and the ~$225-300 Business plan, so if you ever need SSO or multiple pages, the bill jumps ~15x in a single step.
