Incident tools include automatic incident creation, escalation policies, on-call schedules, and publishable postmortems. Monitoring intervals vary by plan, from five minutes on Free to 30 seconds on Business. The Free plan costs nothing and includes five monitors, one status page, email, Slack, and webhook notifications, 90 days of retention, audit logs, and community support. Pro is listed at $12,129 a month, billed as $108/year; Business is $292,923 a month, billed as $276/year. The service offers a Terraform provider and REST API, as well as an internal agent for checks on private endpoints without inbound ports. StatusDrift says it does not send SMS or voice calls directly.
