Free alternatives to Statuspage

Atlassian's pricing page lists the public-page Business plan at $399 a month, checked November 4, 2026. Wayback Machine captures of that same page show Business at $300 a month on October 23, October 24, October 25, and the October 26 capture at 13:00 UTC. The October 26 capture at 23:27 UTC shows $399 again, and so do captures from October 27, November 1, and November 2. Captures from September 15, October 15, and October 20 also show $399, so $300 was not the price for the whole fall. AppBreakup's Subscription Price Index, data as of November 3, 2026, recorded the move from $300 a month to $399 a month, 33 percent, on November 2. On the live page, Hobby is $29 a month, Startup is $99, and public Enterprise is $1,499. Private pages are Starter $79, Growth $249, Corporate $599, and Enterprise $1,499. Audience-specific pages start at $300 a month. That line is not the public Business plan.

Where they differ

  • Incident reports with updates

    Worth 10 points. Kener does all of it. The docs cover incident timelines, updates, and comments. OneUptime does all of it. Incidents show on the page when that section is switched on. Gatus does part of it. Announcements can be archived into a past list. The README calls that incident communication. It is not an incident tied to each component with a thread of updates.

  • Email subscribers

    Worth 8 points. Kener does all of it. Email updates for incidents and maintenance, after SMTP or Resend is set. A subscriber confirms with a one-time code. The page checked does not describe SMS subscribers. OneUptime does all of it. Email subscribers are in the product. The free cloud plan lists 100. The docs say SMS, Slack, Teams, and webhook subscribers are refused on a cloud plan that does not include them. The pricing page lists SMS at $0.10 per SMS. Gatus does none of it. Alerts go to Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, Discord, Twilio, and similar. The README does not describe a public subscribe form.

  • An API to update the page

    Worth 6 points. Kener does all of it. The README says the REST API covers incidents, monitors, and reporting. Incident comments can be posted to /api/v4/incidents/{incident_id}/comments. OneUptime does part of it. The docs describe an API and Terraform. The cloud free plan's table marks API access as not included. Growth includes it. The Community Edition install is a separate copy of the software. Gatus does part of it. There is an API for badges and response-time charts. The page itself comes from the config file, not from posting an incident.

Kener, OneUptime, and Gatus do all of these: a public page of components, scheduled maintenance, and your own domain.

Also ranked: cState is #4 (62). Uptime Kuma is #5 (36).

Cachet

No score

A self-hosted status page. The install guide says the current line is in development and not yet released, so it is not scored.

How this works

A full score means it matches our checklist. It is not a drop-in replacement. #1 is the closest free app that did not pay us. An ad, when one is sold, is marked and sits after #1. Paying does not change the score. Open source means you can use, change, and share the code. Run it yourself means the app can live on a computer you control.

What it costs

Kener

Free plan
The MIT-licensed app is what you run. The homepage and the docs pages checked did not list a paid plan.
They host it
No hosted price on file.
Run it yourself
Setup: medium. The README's Docker Compose file includes Redis. Set KENER_SECRET_KEY and ORIGIN before the first start. Without Docker, the README asks for Node.js 24.14 or newer and Redis.

OneUptime

Free plan
The enterprise-edition doc says the Community Edition is free to self-host at any scale. The cloud free plan is separate: 1 status page and 100 subscribers.
They host it
Free cloud plan: 1 status page and 100 subscribers. Growth is listed at $22. The page description says paid plans start at $22 per user per month. The free plan's table includes a custom domain and marks API access as not included. The free plan card says active monitors are $1 a month. SMS on the pricing page is $0.10 per SMS.
Run it yourself
Hard. The README says you need a Linux server with at least 8 GB of memory, plus Docker, Docker Compose, Git, and Node.js. npm start fills in secrets and starts the stack.

Gatus

Free plan
The Apache-2.0 software is what you run. The README links to a managed service and does not print a price for it.
They host it
No hosted price on file.
Run it yourself
Easy. The README's quick start is a Docker container on port 8080. Endpoints, announcements, and maintenance windows live in the config file.

cState

Free plan
The MIT-licensed theme is free. You pay the host you use for the built site, if that host charges.
They host it
No hosted price on file.
Run it yourself
Easy. The README's path is a Hugo site you build and host, including on your own server. It asks for Hugo 0.80 or newer starting with cState v5.

Uptime Kuma

Free plan
The MIT-licensed app is free to run. The README does not list a paid plan.
They host it
No hosted price on file.
Run it yourself
Easy. The README's Docker command publishes port 3001 and stores data in a volume. A non-Docker install asks for Node.js 20.4 or newer.

Questions

Did the public Business plan used to be $300 a month?
A Wayback capture of Atlassian's pricing page at 13:00 UTC on October 26, 2026 shows Business at $300 a month. Captures on October 23, October 24, and October 25 do too. A capture at 23:27 UTC on October 26 shows $399, which is also what the live page showed on November 4, 2026. Captures from September 15, October 15, and October 20 show $399, so $300 was not the price all fall. AppBreakup recorded the move from $300 to $399 on November 2.
What is the closest free app?
Kener, on this checklist. It is MIT-licensed, and the docs describe incidents, maintenance, monitor groups, and email subscriptions. OneUptime covers a larger monitoring suite and the README asks for a server with at least 8 GB of memory. Cachet is not scored, because its install guide says the current line is not yet released.
Can I export Statuspage subscribers?
Yes. Atlassian's support page says a page admin opens Subscribers, chooses Export subscribers, picks email, SMS, or webhook, then CSV or JSON. The file is emailed. Slack subscribers cannot be exported. Components and incidents come from the API. There is no single backup file.
Does a higher price change the order?
No. The score is the checklist on this page. A sponsored row is labeled and cannot be rank 1.
