In their own words
Instatus
Instatus helps teams monitor services, coordinate incident response, and share status information with customers. Its monitors check websites, APIs, cron jobs, hosts, ports, and DNS records, tracking availability and performance over time. Checks can run from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia using round-robin location selection. Teams can collaborate on incidents and set on-call schedules to alert the appropriate person. Status pages may be public, private, or limited to a selected audience, and can show components, incidents, maintenance, and notices. Private-page access options include email login, Google SSO, IP allowlists, shared passwords, secure links, and SAML SSO. Integrations include Checkly, Datadog, New Relic, PagerDuty, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, Zapier, and API access; the REST-style API uses bearer-token authentication. Starter is free and includes 15 monitors with two-minute checks. Pro costs $20 a month and includes 50 monitors with 30-second checks. Live database data is not encrypted at rest, and Instatus says it has not completed an SOC audit.
