Better Stack (formerly Better Uptime)** - My default recommendation. Uptime checks, on-call/phone alerts, and a hosted status page are one product on one bill, so a failed check can auto-open an incident and auto-update the page. Free tier covers 1 status page and 10 monitors, which is enough for a single storefront; paid is pay-as-you-go. ([betterstack.com](https://betterstack.com/community/comparisons/better-stack-vs-statuspage/))\n\n**2. StatusGator** - The one most store owners overlook and the one that's genuinely store-specific. Instead of pinging your own URL, it aggregates *other people's* status pages - Shopify (9 components), Stripe, Klaviyo, shipping carriers - so you learn it's a platform outage, not your theme, before support tickets land. 800+ users monitor Shopify alone through it.
