How to choose status page software

  1. Bundled vs standalone

    Bundle with incident response: incident.io, FireHydrant include status pages. Standalone with deep customization: Statuspage, Better Stack. Most modern teams pick the bundled approach to avoid duplicating incident metadata.

  2. Audit subscriber model

    Customer-facing status pages need email/SMS/RSS subscriptions. Verify the platform handles this without manual sync. Internal-only status pages don't need subscriber management.

  3. Plan for SLA tracking

    Status pages often double as SLA evidence. Tools with automated uptime calculation and historical reports help with enterprise customer SLA reporting.
