Instatus** - My default pick for most online stores. Free tier gives you a real public status page with subscribers; Pro is ~$20/mo with custom domain (status.yourstore.com) and 5,000 subscribers. Fast, clean pages that load even when your store doesn't. The one catch: private pages and SSO jump to the Business tier at ~$225-300/mo, which is a 15× cliff - annoying if you grow into needing them. ([Instatus pricing breakdown](https://hyperping.com/blog/instatus-pricing), [Instatus vs Statuspage](https://toolquestor.com/vs/instatus-vs-statuspage))\n\n**2. Better Stack** - Best if you want monitoring *and* the status page on one bill. It watches your storefront/checkout, then auto-updates the public page when a check fails, plus on-call alerting so someone actually wakes up. More product than a small store needs, and pricing climbs with responders/seats. ([Better Stack vs Statuspage](https://betterstack.com/community/comparisons/better-stack-vs-statuspage/))\n\n**3. Hyperping** - The value play if you want everything flat-rate. ~$24/mo with no per-user fees, includes checks from 18 locations, Playwright browser flows (so you can script an", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
