Here's what I'd actually pick, in order:\n\n**1. Better Stack** - My default recommendation for most stores. It's monitoring + status page + alerting in one bill, so a failed checkout check automatically opens an incident, pages whoever's on call, and updates the public page without anyone touching a dashboard. Free tier is usable, paid runs ~$25 per 50 monitors. For a small team with no dedicated ops person, that automation is the whole value. ([betterstack.com](https://betterstack.com/community/comparisons/better-stack-vs-statuspage/))\n\n**2. Instatus** - Best price-to-polish ratio and the one I'd pick if the page is customer-facing and you care how it looks next to your brand. Free public page; ~$20/mo Pro adds custom domain (status.yourstore.com), private pages, and more notification channels. Fast, clean pages that don't look like a dev too", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
