Status monitoring for micro-SaaS teams
Quick answer
A micro-SaaS team (1–5 people) usually watches several surfaces: marketing site, app, API, checkout, and admin. StillOnline groups checks and incidents per project with a shared status page. Pro ($9/mo) supports up to 10 projects × 10 URLs with 90-day history and private pages.
The problem
- "Is it down?" questions interrupt deep work in a tiny team.
- Incidents live in Slack threads—not in a customer-visible timeline.
- Paying for Datadog before product-market fit is hard to justify.
How StillOnline helps
- Project per product or environment—clear ownership.
- Incident management on the status page—investigating → resolved.
- Email subscribers (Google Sign-In) for status page updates—up to 50/page on Free.
- Compare with Hyperping if you evaluate lightweight competitors.
Setup in minutes
- Create projects: e.g. "Production API", "Marketing", "Admin".
- Add checks for each critical URL with expected HTTP status.
- Post incident updates on the status page when something breaks.
- Connect Telegram or Slack for owner alerts.
When to choose StillOnline
- Small team shipping one focused SaaS with a few critical endpoints.
- You want status page + monitoring bundled—not a separate Statuspage contract.
- You may add API-first monitoring on the same account.
When not to choose
- You need enterprise ITSM, SLA reporting to Fortune 500, or custom domains on status pages (not in current product).
- Full infra observability (Kubernetes metrics, log pipelines)—use Better Stack or similar.
- See honest limits on About.
FAQ

Yes—visitors can subscribe via Google Sign-In on your public status page (subscriber limits per plan).
Does StillOnline replace PagerDuty?
No. StillOnline focuses on HTTP uptime, status pages, and owner alerts—not on-call scheduling.
