OpenStatus

What it is for

OpenStatus is an uptime + status-page desk: you ping a URL, page on failure, and publish a public page. Use it when the job is monitors you start on Hobby at $0 (1 monitor, 1 page), not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official OpenStatus status page (All Systems Operational + 45-day bars) from the product still — not a pricing card. The page itself is ops of Status pages.

Key features

• Monitors — HTTP (and more) checks from multiple regions (pricing Monitors). One ping. Hobby is 1 monitor / 10-minute interval. Starter is 20 monitors / 1-minute.
• Status pages — a public page of component bars (pricing Status Pages). A page, not a ping. Hobby is 1 page / 3 components. Extra pages are +$20/month.
• Alerts — Slack / Discord / email / webhook (and more) when a monitor fails (pricing Alerts). A page-out, not a status bar. Channel count is this surface.
• Incidents — a timeline you publish on the status page (incident walkthrough). An event, not a monitor tick. Maintenance windows sit on Status pages.
• Self-host — the open-source app you run yourself; Cloud is the hosted desk (GitHub). A deploy, not a ping. White-label ($300/mo on Starter/Pro) is SKU of Cloud.

Monitors and status pages are the Cloud meters. Custom theme, SSO, IP restriction are SKU. The CLI is install.

Who it's for

Best fit: small teams who will stay on Hobby $0 (1 monitor, 1 status page, 10-minute interval, no card) while they publish a first page, then buy Starter at $30/month (14-day trial) when they need 20 monitors and a 1-minute check.
