The answer, as recorded
# Status page tools for small businesses Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order: **1. Instatus** - My default pick for most small businesses. Clean, fast pages, and the subscriber economics are the whole argument: ~$20/month gets you 5,000 subscribers, 50 monitors, custom domain, email/SMS alerts. There's a genuinely usable free tier too (unlimited subscribers, but no custom domain). If a status page is what you need and you already have monitoring, stop here. **2. Better Stack** - Best if you want monitoring, alerting, and the status page as one product. Modern UI, sets up in under an hour. Caveat: pricing is unbundled (~$29/user/month + ~$21 per 50 monitors + ~$12 per page), so it adds up faster than it looks with more than a couple of teammates. Free plan covers 1 status page and 10 monitors. **3. Hyperping** - The sweet spot if you want monitoring + status page without per-seat surprises: ~$24/month for 50 monitors, 1 page, 3 team members. Free tier gives 20 monitors and a hosted page. Simpler pricing story than Better Stack at small scale. **4. UptimeRobot** - Pick this if budget is the binding constraint. The free plan is the most generous of the bunch (50 monitors at 5-minute checks, basic status pages). Paid starts ~$13/month. Status pages are more utilitarian than Instatus's, but free is free. **5. Uptime Kuma or Openstatus** - Only if you want self-hosted and already run infrastructure. Zero license cost, total control, and you own the upgrades, the TLS certs, and the irony of your status page living on the same box as your app. Put it on separate hosting or skip it. **Who I'd skip:** Atlassian Statuspage. It's the name everyone knows, but $399/month for 5,000 subscribers against Instatus's $20 is hard to justify unless you're already deep in Atlassian and need the integrations. One practical note: whatever you choose, host the status page somewhere independent of your production stack - a status page that goes down with your product is worse than none at all. All the hosted options above handle that for you by default.
