Best status page tools

A status page is a promise you make to customers when things break. The tools below range from “paste a URL, get a page” to on-call and incident timelines. The question is how much product you want between the outage and the sentence your customers read.

  1. 1. GreenCrew

    Uptime checker · Hosted

    A page at greencrew.space/yourhost with a 90-day strip and a manual report for when the check cannot see checkout. The least you need to tell the truth.

    Pricing: Free while we keep it simple.

  2. 2. Better Stack

    Synthetics / mid-market · Hosted

    Status pages with subscribers and incident posts, attached to uptime, logs, and on-call. More product, for teams that have outgrown a checker.

    Pricing: Usage-based across uptime, logs, and incidents — more than a ping tool.

  3. 3. UptimeRobot

    Uptime checker · Hosted

    Recognisable hosted status pages with custom domains on paid plans, sitting on top of a monitor list you probably already have.

    Pricing: Free tier, then inexpensive paid plans as monitor count grows.

  4. 4. HetrixTools

    Uptime checker · Hosted

    White-label status pages — the real reason agencies and hosters pick it, because the page can carry a client’s brand instead of yours.

    Pricing: Inexpensive hosted plans. Often pitched to hosters and agencies, not only indie apps.

  5. 5. StatusCake

    Uptime checker · Hosted

    Public reporting bundled into the uptime product, with SSL and domain checks feeding what the page can show.

    Pricing: Freemium uptime plans. SSL and domain tests sit beside HTTP, not behind APM.
