> ## Status page tools I'd actually recommend for a small business
> 
> **1. Instatus** - My default pick. Free tier is genuinely usable (unlimited subscribers and teammates, which is the thing that kills you on other plans), and Pro is ~$15-20/month. Pages are fast and look good out of the box. If you just need "customers can see when we're down," start here.
> 
> **2. UptimeRobot** - Best if you don't already have monitoring. It bundles uptime checks *and* the status page in one product, with a free tier of 50 monitors that doesn't expire. Avoids paying two vendors for what's really one workflow. Status pages get generous on the Team plan (~100 pages).
> 
> **3. Better Stack** - The step up when you want incident management, on-call rotations, and status pages together. More polished alerting than the cheap options; correspondingly more expensive. Worth it once downtime actually costs you money and someone needs to get paged at 3am.
> 
> **4. Hyperping** - ~$24/month for Essentials, and notably everything is included at that price: 50 monitors, custom domain, browser checks, on-call scheduling. No add-on upsells, which is a real differentiator in this category. Good if you want predictable billing

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
