StillOnline vs Atlassian Statuspage
Atlassian Statuspage is the incumbent status communication product. It does not replace uptime monitoring — you still need something to probe your APIs.
StillOnline = HTTP checks + auto status page from $0 / $9 / $29.
Prior research: IH posts 2026 — “cheapest status page $29/mo felt excessive for solo SaaS”; Statuspage Hobby $29/month per Atlassian pricing.
TL;DR
- Choose Statuspage if you need enterprise Atlassian ecosystem, audience-specific pages, massive subscriber counts.
- Choose StillOnline if you need monitoring + status together for less than Statuspage Hobby alone.
Quick comparison
| Feature | StillOnline | Atlassian Statuspage |
|---|---|---|
| Core product | Monitoring + status | Status communication only |
| Hobby / entry paid | $9 Pro (monitoring included) | $29/mo public Hobby (pricing) |

| Custom domain | Not v1 | Hobby+ |
| MCP | Pro+ | REST API |
| Best for | Indie SaaS | Mid-market / enterprise comms |
What Statuspage does well
Per official pricing:
- Mature incident communication — templates, subscribers, component groups.
- Free public page tier for basic comms (100 subscribers, 25 components).
- SSO on higher tiers; private/audience-specific page types.
- Unlimited notifications on plans (channel types vary by tier).
Where StillOnline wins
One bill: “is it up?” + “tell users”
Statuspage answers what we tell customers. StillOnline answers is the endpoint actually down and shows it on the same page.
Typical indie stack without StillOnline:
UptimeRobot or Better Stack → know it’s down
Statuspage ($29+) → tell users
StillOnline:
One project → probes + public /s/{slug}
$9 vs $29 entry
For a founder who only needs one product’s status, paying $29/mo for Statuspage Hobby before any monitoring tool is a common pain point in indie research.
StillOnline Pro $9 includes checks + page + API/MCP.
AI agents (Pro+)
Post incidents and manage checks via MCP — Statuspage API is powerful but not aimed at “spin up monitoring from Cursor” workflows.
When to choose Statuspage
- You already use Atlassian stack and need enterprise comms features.
- You need audience-specific or private employee pages at huge scale.
- Monitoring is handled elsewhere (Datadog, etc.) and budget allows both.
When to choose StillOnline
- You want monitoring + public status without stacking vendors.
- You’re price-sensitive solo founder (sub-$30 total).
