Statuspage is a fine way for a big company to broadcast its own status. But if you run a book of small client sites, you don't just need a page — you need the monitoring behind it, and pricing that doesn't tax you per seat and per subscriber. StatusKit does the checks and the page: uptime, SSL and domain expiry built in, one branded page per client, flat from $0.
Statuspage figures are from Atlassian's published pricing and product pages as of mid-2026 and can change — check their site for current numbers. StatusKit is the tool on this site; this comparison is ours, not Atlassian's.
This is the difference that matters for an agency. Statuspage is a communication layer: it shows components, incidents and metrics beautifully — but the uptime and response numbers come from a monitoring tool you connect (Pingdom, Datadog, New Relic) or push in through its API. It doesn't check your clients' sites itself. StatusKit runs the probes — HTTP up/down, response time, SSL and domain expiry — and publishes the page, so there's one tool and one bill instead of a monitor feeding a status page. Fewer moving parts is the whole appeal when you're the one keeping a dozen sites alive.
Every capability below is shipped and running — the same stack behind StatusKit's own status page. Nothing here needs a plugin, a second subscription, or a call.
HTTP up/down, response-time trend, a keyword probe, plus SSL and domain-expiry — StatusKit does the probing from the edge. There's no second monitoring bill to feed the page.
Turn on a hosted status page per client: 90-day uptime, response chart, incident notes and an email subscribe box, wearing that client's title, theme and accent.
Tiered SSL and domain-expiry alerts at 30, 14, 7 and 1 days, across every site you manage — so a lapsed cert never becomes a client's outage.
Define every monitor in a versioned monitors.json and apply the whole roster from CI. Onboard a client by adding a few lines, not clicking through a console.
Webhook alerts to Slack or Discord and email alerts on down and on recovery — the same up↔down fan-out extended to each client's subscribers.
Free to start, $19 for a studio, $49/mo for an agency portfolio of up to 100 monitors — no per-seat charge and no per-subscriber meter as your client list grows.
Statuspage's tiers climb with team members and subscribers, and public, private and audience-specific pages are billed separately — sensible for one company's high-traffic status page, heavy when you want a modest page for each of a dozen clients. StatusKit is flat: free to start, $19 for a studio, $49/mo for an agency portfolio of up to 100 monitors — no per-seat charge, no per-subscriber meter as your client roster grows. Onboarding a client is a few lines in a monitors.json, not a new line item.
A comparison you can trust has to say where the other tool wins. Statuspage is the stronger choice when your job is enterprise incident communication rather than watching a fleet of small sites. Reach for it when you need:
statuskit.app/status/your-slug, not your own domainIf that's the job, Statuspage does it well. StatusKit is for the other shop — the agency that wants the monitoring and a clean per-client page in one flat-priced tool.
For an agency or MSP, yes. Statuspage is a mature status-page and incident-communication product built for a company broadcasting its own status. StatusKit is built for a shop that watches many small client sites and wants the monitoring and a branded page per client in one flat-priced tool. If that's you, start free on the checker, then put a client fleet under monitoring from the console.
Statuspage can display uptime and response metrics on the page — but you feed those in from a separate monitoring tool (Pingdom, Datadog, New Relic) or push them via its API. It doesn't run the checks itself. StatusKit does the probing — HTTP up/down, response time, SSL and domain expiry — so the monitoring and the page are one thing, not two subscriptions.
As of mid-2026, Atlassian lists Statuspage public pages from Free to $29 (Hobby), $99 (Startup), $399 (Business) and $1,499/mo (Enterprise), with private and audience-specific pages priced separately and tiers scaling by team members and subscribers. StatusKit is Free, $19 or $49/mo, flat, for up to 100 monitors. Pricing changes — check Atlassian's pricing page for their current numbers.
When you need enterprise incident communications: SSO/SAML, audience-specific private pages, very large subscriber volumes, role-based teams, a custom domain and deep Atlassian, Jira and Opsgenie workflow integration. Statuspage does all of that well, and StatusKit deliberately doesn't try to. If your job is broadcasting one product's status to a big audience, Statuspage is likely the right tool.
There's no one-click importer today — you set your monitors up fresh, which for a fleet is fastest as a monitors.json you apply from CI in one call. Point your monitors at each client's site, flip on a public page per client, and you're running. It's a re-setup, not a migration, and for a small book of clients it's an afternoon.
No — that's the point. Because StatusKit runs the checks itself, you don't wire a Pingdom or Datadog behind the page. One tool probes your clients' sites, alerts you and your clients when something breaks, and publishes the status page. One bill, one place to look. Try it free on the checker — paste any domain and see the SSL, domain and uptime read-out with no signup.
Paste any domain into the free checker — SSL, domain expiry and uptime, no signup. When it fits, put a client fleet under monitoring and hand each one a branded status page.
