Which StillOnline plan should you pick?

StillOnline pricing is meant to track indie SaaS stage, not seat count. Most founders start on Free, move to Pro ($9/month) when they need a second URL, private status, or API/MCP, and only hit Ultimate ($29/month) when project count or check intervals outgrow Pro.

This page is a decision guide — live numbers always win on pricing.

Quick answer

Pick StillOnline Free ($0) for one production health URL, a public status page, 24-hour history, and one owner alert channel (email or Telegram or Slack). Pick Pro ($9/mo) for up to 10 projects, 10 URLs, private pages, 90-day history, REST API, and MCP. Pick Ultimate ($29/mo) for up to 100 projects, 25 URLs, and 1–5 minute intervals. Upgrade in app settings via Lava.top.

Plan snapshot (2026)

Owner Telegram uses the official StillOnline bot — Telegram guide.

Choose Free when

• Solo founder, one API or marketing site on production.
• You need a customer status link before MRR covers tools (first revenue).
• You are comparing Better Stack Free and want monitoring plus page in one place.

Free limits are real: one URL, one alert channel, no private page (public vs private).

Choose Pro when

• Staging + production or API + docs site need separate checks.
• Procurement wants a private stakeholder page for paying customers (private status for B2B).
• A private internal page for a small team (small team internal).
• Agency with multiple client products (up to 10 projects) (agency guide).
• Cursor / CI needs REST or MCP (MCP post).
• You want Slack and Telegram owner alerts together.

$9/month is the usual step after first paying users — not day one of the side project.

Choose Ultimate when

• Many projects or URLs approach Pro caps (10 projects / 10 URLs).
• You need sub-5-minute probe intervals for tighter SLAs — see interval honest guide for when 1 min beats 30s spend.
• Same feature set as Pro — only scale and speed change.

If you only need one product with three URLs, Pro is enough.

What no plan includes (v1 honesty)

• Custom domain on status hostname — not offered in v1 (status.yourbrand.com).
• Self-host StillOnline — hosted SaaS only.
• No native Discord webhook — use workarounds.

FAQ

Can I stay on StillOnline Free with a public B2B status page?

Yes. Many indie teams ship stillonline.tech/.../s/... on Free until they need more URLs or private visibility (B2B trust).

What happens to private pages if I downgrade from Pro to Free?

Visibility returns to public — plan before downgrading if customers bookmarked a private URL (public vs private).

Does StillOnline Pro include MCP for Cursor?

Yes. Install stillonline-mcp with a Pro API key — MCP guide and docs.

Is Ultimate worth it over Pro for a solo founder?

Usually no unless you hit URL/project limits or need 1-minute checks. Solo on-call rarely needs 100 projects (solo on-call). Compare vendor all-in bills in the transparent pricing guide before annual billing.
