## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-20 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For an online store, the thing that matters most is that the status page is hosted **off** your own infrastructure (so it survives when your store doesn't) and that whatever feeds it can detect a broken *checkout*, not just a 200 OK on the homepage. Here's who I'd actually use, in order:
> 
> **1. Better Stack** - my default recommendation for most stores. It bundles the status page with uptime monitoring, on-call scheduling, and incident management, so one tool detects the outage, pages someone, and updates the page. Generous free tier; paid scales roughly $12/mo per status page plus ~$21/mo per 50 monitors. If you don't already have monitoring, start here.
> 
> **2. Instatus** - best if you just want a fast, good-looking public page and already have monitoring elsewhere. Free plan includes unlimited subscribers and teammates (a big deal - most competitors charge per subscriber), Pro around $20/mo. It recently added basic monitoring too. This is the value pick.
> 
> **3. Atlassian Statuspage** - the category reference point. Polished, handles public/private/audience-specific pages, and customers recognize the format. But it's priced by subscriber tier and climbs steeply (~$29 up to $1,499/mo)

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
