Store owners usually need the monitoring (especially *checkout* monitoring) more than the public page, so I've ordered these by what I'd buy first.\n\n**1. Instatus** - My default pick for most stores. Best polish-per-dollar: free tier is genuinely usable, Pro is ~$20/mo ($15 annual), custom domain so you can run `status.yourstore.com`. It's status-page-first, so it looks good to customers out of the box, but it does *not* detect outages - you point a monitor at it. ([pricing breakdown](https://hyperping.com/blog/instatus-pricing))\n\n**2. Better Stack** - Pick this if you want one vendor for uptime monitoring, alerting/on-call, and the status page. Incident detection auto-updates the page, which is the whole point. Downside: pricing stacks up with add-ons (~$29/user/mo, ~$21/mo per 50 monitors, ~$12/mo per status page), so it gets pricey fast. ([comparison](https://betterstack.com/community/comparisons/better-stack-vs-hyperping/))\n\n**3. Hyperping** - Same \"monitoring + page in one\" idea, usually cheaper at sc", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
