In short
A status page costs between $0 and $1,499 a month, and most teams land between $29 and $99. The number that catches people out is not the sticker price, it is that the best known status page products do no monitoring at all. Atlassian Statuspage, Status.io, StatusHub and Sorry publish what you tell them and nothing more, so a working setup is two subscriptions rather than one. Atlassian Statuspage Hobby at $29 plus the cheapest credible monitor at $9 is $38 a month before anyone has looked at the design. Tools that monitor and publish from the same system, including UptimeHub, Better Stack, Hyperping, UptimeRobot and Pulsetic, fold the page into a plan that starts at $9 to $49 a month.
Side by side
What each status page product charges
Every figure in this table was read on the vendor's own pricing page. Where a vendor localizes its pricing page by visitor country we have taken the US list, because that is the figure a US buyer is actually charged. Two names are missing on purpose. Instatus does not render its paid figures to us, and Datadog does not publish a standalone price for status pages at all, so both are described by model below rather than given a number we cannot stand behind.

Read down the second column first. It reorders the whole table. The four products with the strongest brands in this category, Atlassian Statuspage, Status.io, StatusHub and Sorry, all answer no, and they are also the four most expensive entry points. That is not a coincidence, it is what a dedicated publishing product is: design, subscriber management and incident workflow, with the actual detection left to somebody else. If you want the feature comparison rather than the cost, we keep that on the status page software page, and the cost of the checks themselves is broken down in the uptime monitoring pricing comparison.
One subscription or two
Three kinds of product are sold as a status page
The word covers three different products with three different price shapes. Knowing which one you are pricing removes most of the confusion in this category.
Publishes only
Statuspage (Atlassian), Status.io, StatusHub, Sorry
These products take an incident you declare, or a webhook from somewhere else, and turn it into a page your customers trust. None of them checks whether your service is actually up. That is not a criticism, it is the product boundary, and all four are explicit about it. What it means for your budget is that the price on their page is a partial price. You still need something watching the service, and something wiring the two together.
Monitors and publishes
UptimeHub, Better Stack, Hyperping, UptimeRobot, Pulsetic, StatusCake, Cronitor
The checks and the page come from one system, so a confirmed outage flips the page without anyone touching it at 3am. The page is usually bundled into a plan you were buying anyway, which is why the entry prices in this group are so much lower. The trade is that the page itself is generally less configurable than a dedicated publishing product.
Monitors, publishes and runs the rota
PagerDuty, Better Stack
Incident management platforms that include a status page as one feature among many. The page is rarely the reason you buy them, and the pricing reflects that: PagerDuty bills per user, so the cost of your status page tracks your headcount rather than your audience. It is the cheapest option in this table if you already run PagerDuty, and a poor way to buy a status page if you do not.
What the publish-only route really costs
If you buy a product that publishes but does not check, you need something underneath it that does. The cheapest credible paid monitor in this market is $9 a month, so that is what we have added in the last column. It is a floor, not an estimate: a team watching more than twenty endpoints will pay more.
| Status page product | Page | Subscribers | Page plus monitoring |
|---|---|---|---|
| Statuspage (Atlassian) Hobby | $29 | 250 | $38 |
| StatusHub Basic | $49 | 250 | $58 |
| Status.io Basic | $79 | 500 | $88 |
| Sorry | $99 | 1,000 | $108 |
| PagerDuty Professional, 5 users | $105 seats plus $89 page = $194 | 1,000 | $203 |
| UptimeHub Starter, bundled | $49, or $24 billed yearly | Unlimited | $49, or $24 billed yearly |
There is a second cost in that table that does not show up as a number. Two systems joined by a webhook is a thing that can break, and it breaks quietly. The monitor fires, the integration fails, the page keeps saying everything is operational, and you find out from a customer. If you go this route, put a check on the integration itself and test it on a schedule, the same way you would test a backup. Our walkthrough of how to create a status page covers the dependency question in more detail.
The step is steeper than the ladder looks
One extra subscriber can triple the bill
Subscriber allowances are hard caps, not meters. You do not pay a little more for subscriber 251, you pay for the next tier. Using Atlassian's published public-page ladder, here is what crossing each boundary costs.
| Boundary | Tier below | Tier above | Price change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 subscribers | Hobby $29 | Startup $99 | +241% |
| 1,000 subscribers | Startup $99 | Business $399 | +303% |
| 5,000 subscribers | Business $399 | Enterprise $1,499 | +276% |
The timing is what makes this worth planning for. Subscriber lists do not grow smoothly. They grow in steps, and the steps happen during and just after incidents, because that is when customers go looking for a page to subscribe to. A long outage can push you over a boundary in a single afternoon, which means the invoice arrives a few weeks after the worst day of your quarter.
Normalizing the ladders to a common unit shows the same thing from the other side. Cost per thousand subscribers falls steadily as you climb, so the small tiers are the expensive ones per head, and you are paying a premium precisely while you are smallest.
| Tier | Monthly price | Subscribers included | Cost per 1,000 subscribers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Statuspage (Atlassian) Hobby | $29 | 250 | $116.00 |
| Statuspage (Atlassian) Startup | $99 | 1,000 | $99.00 |
| Statuspage (Atlassian) Business | $399 | 5,000 | $79.80 |
| Statuspage (Atlassian) Enterprise | $1,499 | 25,000 | $59.96 |
| Status.io Basic | $79 | 500 | $158.00 |
| Status.io Standard | $149 | 2,000 | $74.50 |
| StatusHub Basic | $49 | 250 | $196.00 |
| StatusHub Premium | $299 | 3,000 | $99.67 |
| Sorry | $99 | 1,000 | $99.00 |
StatusHub Basic is the most expensive place to stand in this table at $196 per thousand subscribers, and Atlassian Enterprise the cheapest at about $60. None of that makes any vendor wrong. It does mean that if your subscriber list is going to grow, the tier you are comparing today is not the tier you will be paying for, and the sensible comparison is the one two steps up.
The variable that decides year two
The five units status pages are priced in
Two companies with identical products and identical customers can pay $9 and $400 a month for a status page, purely because of which unit they bought into. Pick the unit that grows slowest for your business.
Per subscriber
Statuspage, Status.io, StatusHub
You pay for how many people can receive updates. This is the dominant model in the publish-only group, and it is the one with the sharpest steps, because the allowance is a hard cap rather than a meter. The uncomfortable property is that your subscriber count grows fastest immediately after a bad outage, so the page gets more expensive precisely because it did its job.
Per user or per seat
PagerDuty, Sorry, Better Stack
You pay for the humans on the inside, and on PagerDuty you then pay again for the page. Professional is $21 per user a month at the annual rate, so a five-person team is $105, and the status page is a separate add-on from $89 per 1,000 subscribers on top of that, which makes the real total $194. Sorry includes five team members and charges $5 a month for each one after that.
Per page
Better Stack
One page is included and each additional public page is $15 a month. The add-ons are where this gets expensive: white-label, single sign-on, IP allowlisting and sending email from your own domain are each $250 per page per month. White-labeling a single page is $3,000 a year, which is more than Atlassian Statuspage Startup costs for a whole year at $1,188.
Per monitor
UptimeHub, Cronitor, Pulsetic
The page is a feature of a plan priced on how many things you watch. Adding subscribers, teammates or client logins does not move the bill. This is the flattest model in the category and the easiest to forecast, which is why we chose it, though it is fair to say it suits teams whose audience grows faster than their infrastructure and penalizes the reverse.
Bundled into a tier
Hyperping, UptimeRobot, StatusCake
A step function. Each tier grants a fixed number of pages alongside a fixed number of monitors, so you buy the next tier when you outgrow either one. UptimeRobot is a good illustration: the free tier gives one page, Solo at $12 gives three, Team at $39 gives a hundred and Scale gives unlimited. The number to check is which limit you will hit first, and with UptimeRobot it is usually the monitor count, because Solo holds only 10.
The rule of thumb: pick the unit tied to whatever grows slowest in your business. An agency adds clients faster than it adds staff, so per-page pricing hurts and per-monitor pricing does not. A support-heavy company adds subscribers faster than services, so the subscriber ladder is the expensive choice. A small team with a large audience should avoid per-subscriber pricing entirely.
What to budget
What a status page costs at four company sizes
Bands built from the verified table above, including the monitoring where the product does not provide it.
One product, a few hundred customers
$0 to $29A bundled page on a monitoring plan covers this completely. UptimeRobot, Pulsetic and Better Stack all publish a page on their free tier, and UptimeHub includes one on a custom domain from $24 a month billed yearly ($49 monthly). Buying a dedicated publishing product at this size means paying more for the page than for the monitoring that feeds it.
Funded startup with paying customers
$29 to $99The band where a custom domain, a few thousand subscribers and a credible incident history start to matter. Atlassian Statuspage Hobby at $29 and Startup at $99 both live here, as does Hyperping at $29 and StatusHub Basic at $49. Remember to add the monitoring underneath for the publish-only options.
Agency running client sites
$79 to $300The driver is page count, not subscriber count. Per-page pricing is the model to avoid: at $15 a page, thirty clients is $450 a month in pages alone before add-ons. Plans with unlimited or white-labeled pages, including UptimeHub Business at $199 a month ($99 billed yearly) and Pulsetic Team at $19, are built for this shape.
Enterprise or regulated
$300 to $1,500+Private pages, single sign-on, audit trails, named support and a subscriber list in the tens of thousands. Atlassian Statuspage Enterprise is $1,499 a month, its private pages ladder tops out at the same figure, and Status.io Enterprise starts at $999. Budget for the access controls rather than the page, because the page is the cheap part.
A correction to an earlier version of this page
Until September 2026 this page said PagerDuty bundled a status page with its per-user plans, capped at 250 subscribers on Professional and 500 on Business, and priced a five-person team at $105 a month for the platform and the page together. That was wrong, and it understated what PagerDuty costs.
We re-read pagerduty.com/pricing on 4 September 2026. Status pages are listed under "Available Add-Ons" on both Professional and Business, from $89 a month per 1,000 subscribers, with a Premium tier from $599 per 1,000. PagerDuty publishes no included subscriber count anywhere on its price list. The 250 and 500 figures appear in several third-party write-ups, which is most likely where our earlier version picked them up, but they are not supported by the vendor's own page and we will not repeat them.
Corrected, a five-person team on Professional pays $105 for seats plus $89 for the page, which is $194 a month, and PagerDuty still does not run the check that detects the outage. The tables above now reflect that. The full breakdown, including the add-on rate card and why the sixth user costs $1,512 in year one, is on our PagerDuty pricing page.
We publish corrections rather than editing quietly, because a comparison page that revises itself without saying so is not one you should trust with a budget.
FAQ
Status page pricing questions
How much does a status page cost?
Between $0 and $1,499 a month, with most teams paying $29 to $99. Bundled pages inside a monitoring plan are cheapest, starting free on UptimeRobot, Pulsetic and Better Stack and from $24 a month billed yearly on UptimeHub, where the page comes with 20 monitors and a custom domain. Dedicated publishing products start higher: Atlassian Statuspage at $29, StatusHub at $49, Status.io at $79 and Sorry at $99, none of which include any monitoring.
How much does Atlassian Statuspage cost?
Verified on Atlassian's own pricing page. Public pages are free for 100 subscribers, then Hobby $29 for 250, Startup $99 for 1,000, Business $399 for 5,000 and Enterprise $1,499 for 25,000. Private pages are a separate ladder at $79, $249, $599 and $1,499, and audience-specific pages start at $300 a month. The plan is set by whichever cap you hit first, subscribers or team members, and our <a href="/atlassian-statuspage-pricing" class="link-underline">Atlassian Statuspage pricing calculator</a> finds yours.
Is Jira Statuspage the same as Atlassian Statuspage?
Yes. It is one product, Statuspage, sold by Atlassian alongside Jira, so people search for it under both names and the pricing is identical either way. Having a Jira licence does not include it. Statuspage is billed separately on the subscriber ladder above, and it performs no uptime monitoring at any tier.
How much does PagerDuty's status page cost?
It is a paid add-on, not a bundled feature. Verified on pagerduty.com/pricing: status pages are listed under Available Add-Ons on both Professional and Business, from $89 a month per 1,000 subscribers, with a Premium tier from $599 per 1,000. PagerDuty publishes no included subscriber count anywhere on its price list. So a five-person team on Professional pays $105 for seats plus $89 for the page, which is $194 a month, and PagerDuty still does not run the check that finds the outage. Full breakdown on our <a href="/pagerduty-pricing" class="link-underline">PagerDuty pricing page</a>.
Does Datadog charge extra for status pages?
Datadog does not publish a standalone price for its status page feature on its pricing page, so we have deliberately left it out of the table rather than guess. Status pages there sit inside the wider platform, and platform spend is driven by hosts, ingested logs and check runs. Ask for a written figure before you budget for it.
How much does StatusHub cost?
Verified: Basic is $49 a month for 250 subscribers, five team members and 600 SMS credits, Standard is $99 for 750 subscribers, and Premium is $299 for 3,000. Enterprise is custom at 10,000 subscribers. Yearly billing takes 10% off. StatusHub does not monitor anything itself, it ingests incidents from your monitoring tools.
How much does a Better Stack status page cost?
One public status page is included free, and each extra page is $15 a month, $12 billed yearly. The per-page add-ons are the real cost: white-labeling, single sign-on, IP allowlisting and sending email from your own domain are each $250 per page per month. A responder who needs uptime access is $34 a month, or $29 billed yearly.
Why does the status page cost more than the monitoring?
Because they are priced against different things. Monitoring is priced on how much you watch, which is a number you control and which grows slowly. A status page is usually priced on how many customers can subscribe, which grows with your business and jumps after every incident. One extra subscriber past Atlassian's Hobby cap of 250 moves you from $29 to $99, a 241% increase for one person.
Is a free status page good enough for a business?
For a pre-revenue product, yes. The moment customers are paying you, the limits that bite are the custom domain and the vendor branding, because a page on someone else's subdomain reads as improvised at exactly the moment you need to look calm. Free tiers from UptimeRobot, Pulsetic and Better Stack are genuinely usable, and all three put the custom domain behind payment.
Should I buy a status page separately from monitoring?
Only if you have a publishing requirement the bundled products cannot meet, such as audience-specific pages or a heavily customized design. Otherwise you are paying two bills and maintaining an integration that fails silently. The failure mode is specific and common: the webhook between the monitor and the page breaks, and nobody notices until an outage that the page never reported.
