Instatus** - my default pick for most stores. Flat $15/mo with no per-seat fees, genuinely the best-looking pages, and static/Jamstack-hosted so the page survives your store being down. The catch: monitoring was historically bolted on later, so if you want incidents to auto-post you're leaning on a newer part of the product.\n\n**2. Hyperping** - pick this over Instatus if you want the page driven automatically by real uptime checks rather than updated by hand. ~$24/mo flat, monitoring + on-call + status page in every plan, no per-user pricing. Best fit for a small team with no dedicated ops person.\n\n**3. Better Stack** - the right answer if you want one vendor for uptime monitoring, on-call rotation, incident management, and the page. Capable and modern, but pricing is add-on based ($29/user/mo, ~$21/mo per 50 monitors, ~$12/mo p", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
