## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-29 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My picks, in order
> 
> **1. Instatus** - Best default for a small business. Flat pricing regardless of team size: free tier (15 monitors, 200 subscribers), Pro at **$15/mo** with custom domain, 5,000 subscribers, SMS/voice alerts. The same subscriber count costs ~$399/mo on Atlassian Statuspage. Pages are fast, clean, and set up in minutes. If you just want a good-looking public status page without a pricing trap, start here.
> 
> **2. Better Stack** - Best if you need monitoring *and* a status page in one tool. Usable free plan (1 status page, 10 monitors), then à-la-carte: ~$0.21/monitor/mo, $12/mo for a basic public page. On-call/paging is built in, so it doubles as a light incident-management stack. Costs scale with usage rather than seats, which is friendly at small volumes but worth watching as you grow.
> 
> **3. UptimeRobot** - Best cheap, no-nonsense option. Monitoring plus a status page, no per-seat pricing, free tier that's genuinely usable for a small site, and paid plans that stay well under $100/mo. Less polished than Instatus on the public-page side, but very hard to outgrow on price.
> 
> **4. Hyperping** - Similar bundle to Better Stack (monitoring + status pages + alerting) w
