cState vs StatusIQ

cState turns Markdown content into static status pages and operational records, including incident updates, maintenance, experiment reports, evaluation logs, release notes, and decision records. Teams can manage incidents and maintenance as Markdown, with an audit trail and version control for updates. Static output needs no database and can be hosted on Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare, Docker, or a user's own server. Status data can be embedded in docs, footers, dashboards, and product surfaces through JSON, RSS, Atom, and SVG outputs; the read-only API provides JSON status data. The product page lists support for 19+ languages and options to customize colors, logos, and layouts. Optional CLI and monitorbot tools add operator workflows and monitoring automation, while the core product is static. cState Core and the Free / open source plan are listed at free. cState Kit is a paid offering with automation tools, templates, setup guidance, commercial support, and white-label options; no price is listed. The maker identifies open-source projects, small SaaS teams, internal engineering teams, and agencies or consultants as audiences.

StatusIQ hosts status pages for organizations to communicate service health, outages, maintenance windows and incident updates. Pages can be public or password-protected for internal teams, partners or customer groups. Subscribers can receive updates by email, SMS or RSS, including alerts for selected components. StatusIQ can import data from monitoring tools through email and REST APIs; linked Site24x7 monitors can update a status-page component when downtime alerts occur. Page customization includes domains, logos, favicons, brand colors and custom email sender domains, while paid plans add automatically provisioned SSL for custom domains. Floating or inline widgets can display current service health inside a product. The postmortem editor supports rich text, tables and links. StatusIQ is available on web, Android, iOS and API. The Free plan includes one page, 10 components and 100 subscribers. Green costs $9 a month and Blue costs $50 a month. Paid plans have a 30-day trial, and no credit card is required to start a trial or free account.
