## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-23 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For an online store, the calculus is a bit different from SaaS: your "subscribers" are consumers, so subscriber-count pricing bites hard; the page must be hosted off your infra; and what you actually need monitored is checkout, not just `/`. With that in mind, here's what I'd name, in order:

> **1. Instatus** - my default for stores. Design-forward, very fast-loading pages, and the subscriber economics are the whole argument: ~$20/mo covers 5,000 subscribers, where Atlassian charges $399/mo for the same count. A consumer store can accumulate thousands of notify-me subscribers, so this matters more than any feature checkbox. Caveat: there's a sharp cliff from the $20 Pro plan to the $300 Business plan, so check which side of it you land on before committing.

> **2. Better Stack** - best pick if you don't already have monitoring. Bundles uptime monitoring, incident management, on-call, and the public page on one bill, so an outage detected by the monitor updates the page in the same workflow rather than you doing it by hand at 2am.
