> # 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
