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.
