A store can return HTTP 200 on the front page while the cart or payment step is dead. So I'd pick based on what monitoring sits behind the page.\n\n**1. [Instatus](https://instatus.com)** - my default recommendation for most stores. Best-looking and fastest-loading pages, 30+ languages (useful if you ship internationally), and the subscriber economics are the real win: ~$15-20/mo for 5,000 subscribers vs. Statuspage's $399/mo tier for the same count. Monitoring is basic (HTTP/API/ping/port from 4 regions, no browser synthetics), so pair it with something else if checkout coverage matters. [comparison](https://betterstack.com/community/comparisons/statuspage-vs-instatus/)\n\n**2. [Better Stack](https://betterstack.com)** - the one to pick if you want monitoring, incident management, on-call, and the status page from one vendor, plus log management if your store is custom-built. Custom domains, white labeling, private pages with SSO, and subscriber alerts via email/SMS/Slack/webhook.
