## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a small business, the real decision is whether you want *just* a public status page or monitoring + alerting + status in one bill. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
>

> Best price-to-polish ratio by a wide margin. The free tier is genuinely usable (15 monitors, public page, 200 subscribers, 5 team members), and Pro is a flat **$20/mo** for a custom domain, 5,000 subscribers, 30-second checks, and SMS alerts - no per-seat pricing, which is the thing that quietly kills small-team budgets. It's also added uptime monitoring and on-call since it launched, so it's no longer just a comms layer. One caveat: the jump from Pro to Business is **$300/mo**, so make sure Pro's limits cover you.
> 
> **2. Hyperping - if you want monitoring and a status page bundled, cheaply.**
> Starts around **$14/mo**. Simpler than Better Stack, less to configure, and aimed squarely at small teams. Good pick if your main need is "tell me when the site is down, and show customers a page."
> 
> **3. Better Stack - if you want one vendor for monitoring, on-call, logs, and status.**
> From **$29/mo**, but priced in modules (per user, per 50 monitors,
