The answer, as recorded

For most online stores I'd start with **UptimeRobot** or **Better Stack**. The big thing to know: a store page usually matters less than knowing when checkout breaks, so choose a tool that monitors your store as well as hosting the page. 1. **UptimeRobot**: my pick for stores on Shopify, BigCommerce or WooCommerce. You get monitoring and a status page in one product. The free tier covers 50 monitors, enough for your homepage, key product pages, checkout and APIs, and it doesn't expire. Paid plans add 1-minute checks, more alerting options and checks from several locations. ([UptimeRobot](https://uptimerobot.com/knowledge-hub/comparisons-and-alternatives/best-status-page-tools/), [CubeAPM](https://cubeapm.com/blog/best-ecommerce-monitoring-tools/)) 2. **Better Stack**: best if you have a team handling incidents. It combines uptime monitoring, on-call alerts, incident management and a good-looking public page on one bill. There's a free plan, then pay-as-you-go. ([Better Stack](https://betterstack.com/community/comparisons/statuspage-alternatives/), [OnlineOrNot](https://onlineornot.com/status-page-tools)) 3. **Instatus**: best if you only need an attractive, fast page for shoppers. It's often recommended for consumer-facing businesses and has a free plan with unlimited subscribers. Pro starts at about $20/month and adds custom domains and subscriber notifications. It relies on other tools for monitoring. ([Better Stack comparison](https://betterstack.com/community/comparisons/statuspage-vs-instatus/), [Cadence](https://cadence.withremote.ai/blog/best-status-page-tools)) 4. **Hyperping**: good if you want checkout itself tested. Paid plans include browser checks, which can walk through a scripted purchase, plus 30-second checks. The free plan has 20 monitors and one basic page. Essentials is $29/month billed annually, Pro $89, Business $299. ([CubeAPM](https://cubeapm.com/blog/hyperping-pricing-and-review/), [OnlineOrNot](https://onlineornot.com/status-page-tools)) 5. **Atlassian Statuspage**: the original and most established option. It makes sense for large retailers or businesses selling to corporate buyers. It's expensive for a store, though: $29/month up to $399, or $1,499 for Enterprise. It also does no monitoring or alerting, so you'd need a second tool. ([openstatus](https://www.openstatus.dev/guides/how-openstatus-compares-to-other-status-page-tools), [Better Stack](https://betterstack.com/community/comparisons/statuspage-alternatives/)) 6. **Uptime Kuma**: free and open source, if you're willing to host it yourself. You're responsible for hosting, security and maintenance. ([Better Stack](https://betterstack.com/community/comparisons/free-status-page-tools/), [Hyperping](https://hyperping.com/blog/best-uptime-kuma-alternatives)) **Two things specific to online stores:** - **Shopify's status page only covers the whole platform.** Shopify doesn't provide status pages or monitoring for individual stores, so your store can have problems that never show up there. ([Uptime.com](https://uptime.com/blog/using-the-uptime-com-platform-to-monitor-a-shopify-store)) - **A basic uptime check can't catch a broken checkout.** A checkout page can load normally while showing an empty form, which is the most common hidden WooCommerce failure. To catch that you need a tool that runs a real browser through a purchase: Hyperping's browser checks, [Uptime.com](https://uptime.com/shopify) transaction checks, or [CheckView](https://checkview.io/how-to-monitor-woocommerce-checkout/) for WooCommerce. ([Webalert](https://web-alert.io/blog/woocommerce-monitoring-uptime-checkout-guide), [Dotcom-Monitor](https://www.dotcom-monitor.com/blog/synthetic-monitoring-woocommerce/)) Many of these comparisons are written by the vendors themselves, so treat each one's ranking of its own product with caution. The sources also disagree on Instatus's Business plan price ($50 vs. $300 a month), so check the current price on their site.
