In their own words
openstatus
Openstatus is an open-source platform for uptime monitoring and status pages. It checks websites, APIs, and services from 28 regions across multiple cloud providers. Automation options include a CLI, typed API with OpenAPI, Node SDK, MCP server, and Terraform management. Status pages can support custom domains, themes, subscribers, locale switching, and maintenance status, depending on the plan. The free Hobby plan includes one monitor, one status page, three components, and checks no more often than every 10 minutes. Starter costs $30 a month, or $300/year ($25/mo) when billed annually, with 20 monitors, one-minute checks, a custom domain, and subscribers. The platform is available on web and can be self-hosted with Docker under the AGPL-3.0 license. Paid plans include selected notifications such as Slack, email, webhook, WhatsApp, PagerDuty, and OpsGenie. Openstatus was founded in 2023 and is built by a self-funded two-person team.
StatusBot
StatusBot is a command center for software teams that combines site monitoring with task and release tracking. Its agents continuously test sites in ways intended to resemble real user activity and can flag outages or broken flows; the monitoring and testing agents can also raise tickets automatically. The Daily Overview summarizes product health, open tasks and blockers in plain language. Planner provides a board for tasks, bugs and releases, while Smart Request Forms collect outside requests and de-duplicate tickets. Teams can connect GitHub commits and pull requests to tasks, with development activity shown in a task timeline. StatusBot lists SSL expiry alerts and email alerting; failure and recovery email notifications are described as being in beta. The service lists Android, iOS and web platforms, although its changelog describes native apps as early beta and coming soon to app stores. The Free plan provides three projects. Pro is listed at $19 a month, billed per user per month, but marked Coming Soon; the Free and Pro pricing cards also offer a waitlist.
