## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-18 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For an online store, the key thing is that your status page is driven by actual monitoring (so it updates when checkout breaks, not when someone remembers to post), and that it can absorb traffic when your main site is the thing that's down. Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:
> 
> **1. Instatus** - Best default for most stores. Flat-rate pricing starting around $15-50/mo with no per-seat fees, and it's added uptime monitoring, on-call scheduling, and Slack-based incident management, so it's no longer just a page. Best price-to-polish ratio, and the pages look good enough to put your brand on.
> 
> **2. Better Stack** - Pick this if you want monitoring *and* the status page on one bill. From ~$29/mo, built around the whole incident lifecycle (monitors → on-call → status page), so the page reflects real signals automatically. Caveat: pricing scales with add-ons, and a real setup (1 public page, 5 responders, 50 monitors) lands near $291/mo - check your math before committing.
> 
> **3. Hyperping** - Similar bundled model to Better Stack (monitoring + page together), usually cheaper and simpler. Good middle option if Better Stack feels like more platform than you need.
> 
> **4. UptimeRobo
