A status page you have to update by hand goes stale exactly when traffic spikes and you're busy. So I'd weight the all-in-one options heavily.\n\n**1. Instatus** - My default recommendation for most stores. Flat pricing (~$15-20/mo) with no per-seat fees, bundles uptime monitoring and on-call, clean fast-loading public pages, custom domain, and ~5,000 subscribers included. For comparison, Atlassian Statuspage charges ~$399/mo for similar subscriber capacity. If you just want a page up this afternoon that looks professional, this is it.\n\n**2. Better Stack** - Best if you want monitoring depth and log management too. Strong alerting and incident workflows. Downside is the à la carte pricing (~$29/user/mo + ~$21 per 50 monitors + ~$12 per status page), which adds up fast with a team - but it's the one I'd pick if you're also debugging why checkout is slow, not just announcing that it is.\n\n**3. Hyperping** - Essentials at $24/mo covers 50 monitors, status page with custom domain, browser checks, and on-call scheduling.
