Which should you choose?

Build your own if

You want customers to subscribe only to the components they use, which Statuspage lists on its $399 Business plan.
You have more than the free plan's 100 subscribers and don't want a monthly fee for a page that is usually green.
You want incident history and uptime in your own database, calculated by rules you can read.
You want your monitoring tool to draft incidents for a person to approve.

Pay for Statuspage if

You need SMS, Slack or Teams notifications to subscribers.
You want private or audience-specific pages behind sign-in.
You want metrics graphs, third-party component statuses and ready-made integrations.
You don't want to host and maintain one more thing, separately from your product.

What the blueprint covers

Components and groups; incidents with timed updates (investigating, identified, monitoring, resolved) and the status of each affected component; incident templates; scheduled maintenance that starts and ends on time; an overall status banner; 90-day uptime bars and percentages per component; incident history; email subscriptions with double opt-in and a choice of components; an Atom feed and a JSON status API; an automation webhook for monitoring tools; postmortems; an activity log.

What you give up

Uptime monitoring itself (bring your own monitor and point it at the webhook), SMS, Slack and Teams notifications to subscribers, metrics and response-time graphs, private and audience-specific pages, third-party components, custom HTML and JavaScript themes, translations, an embeddable widget, and posting to social media.
