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. Flat pricing with no per-seat fees, and the free Starter plan is genuinely usable (public status page, ~15 monitors, 200 subscribers, unlimited team members). Pro is ~$20/mo and adds a custom domain and 5,000 subscribers. The pages are fast and look polished out of the box. It's also grown beyond pure status pages into uptime monitoring and on-call, so you're less likely to outgrow it. **2. Better Stack (formerly Better Uptime)** - Best if you want monitoring, on-call paging, and the status page on one bill instead of stitching two vendors together. It consistently tops small-business rankings (4.7/5 across ~4,300 reviews) and has a free tier. Caveat: the bundled pricing climbs fast - a real setup with on-call responders and 50 monitors can run a few hundred a month, so check the calculator before committing. **3. UptimeRobot** - The pragmatic budget option if you mainly need "is my site up" plus a simple public page. The free tier covers 50 monitors at 5-minute checks; paid is roughly $9-18/mo. Less polished than Instatus, but hard to argue with at that price. **4. Uptime Kuma** - Free, open-source, MIT licensed, self-hosted. No monitor limits, 20-second check intervals, 90+ notification channels, and public status pages with custom branding. Only pick this if you have somewhere to run it and someone who'll maintain it. One real caution: hosting your status page on your own infrastructure means it can go down with everything else - host it somewhere separate from your main stack. **5. Atlassian Statuspage** - The incumbent. Starts at $29/mo (Startup), $99/mo (Business), scaling to $1,499/mo (Enterprise). I'd only reach for it if you're already deep in the Atlassian ecosystem or a customer contractually expects it. It's purely a communication layer - it monitors nothing on its own, so you'll be paying for a second tool anyway. For a small business, it's usually the worst value on this list. **Quick call:** start on Instatus free, upgrade to the $20 Pro plan when you need the custom domain. Go Better Stack instead if you want alerting and on-call in the same product.
