Statuspage is the announcement board. It doesn't watch your site; something else has to notice the outage and tell it. Oh Dear is that something else, and it runs the status page too. [ Start monitoring ](https://ohdear.app/register) 10 day free trial No credit card required - Bitmovin - HBO Nordic - Obsidian - Laravel - Fathom Analytics - PHP 8 - Stanford University - Takeaway.com - IGN - VRT NWS - spatie the quick verdict **Choose Oh Dear** if you want one tool that *monitors* your sites, uptime, SSL, DNS, cron, performance, broken links, and runs a branded status page that updates itself from those checks. Per site, from $17/mo, status page and custom domain included on every plan. **Choose Atlassian Statuspage** if the status page *is* the product: a large public audience, component-level incident updates, postmortem workflows, private or audience-specific pages, and deep Jira / Opsgenie integration, and you already have a monitor to feed it. What Statuspage can't do ## The status page is only half the job ### 1. It actually monitors Uptime, SSL, DNS, cron, performance and broken links, from the outside, every minute. Statuspage monitors nothing; it shows the status you give it. ### 2. The page updates itself A check fails, it is confirmed from a second location, and your status page posts the incident, or waits for your word. Statuspage needs a human or an integration to post. ### 3. Uptime measured independently Your logo and domain on the page, but an outside service measured the numbers. Your users trust the status because you did not write it. ## Status pages, side by side Not apples to apples: one is a monitor that runs a status page, the other is a status page you feed. Each tool leads where it was built to. | | | Atlassian Statuspage | |---|---|---| | Monitors your sites (uptime, SSL, DNS, cron)? | Yes, built in | No, by design | | Updates the page from real checks? | Auto or manual | Manual / API | | Uptime measured independently? | Yes | You publish it | | Status page on your own domain? | Every plan | Paid ($29+/mo) | | Multilingual status pages? | Yes | No | | Email subscribers? | Yes | Yes | | SMS & webhook subscribers at scale? | No | Yes ($99+/mo) | | Component-level status & subscriptions? | Per site | Yes | | Incident templates & postmortems? | Messages + RSS | Purpose-built | | Private & audience-specific pages? | No | Yes | | Jira / Opsgenie / Atlassian integration? | No | Yes | | Subscriber scale? | Client & team audiences | Up to 25,000 | | Pricing model? | Per site, from $17/mo | Per subscriber, free–$1,499 | Sourced from each vendor's pricing & docs · June 2026 [ Try 10 days for free ](https://ohdear.app/register) Being honest ## When Atlassian Statuspage is the better call If the status page is your front-of-house, it's purpose-built, and Oh Dear can sit behind it as the monitor. Big public audience ### Thousands of subscribers Up to 25,000 subscribers with SMS and webhook alerts on the higher tiers. If a large public audience subscribes to your status, this is built for it. Deep incident comms ### Components & postmortems Component-level status, scheduled-maintenance windows, incident templates and postmortems, plus private and audience-specific pages: a full incident-communication workflow. Atlassian shops ### Jira & Opsgenie native If your team already runs Jira, Opsgenie or Jira Service Management, Statuspage plugs straight in. Oh Dear doesn't. Pricing ## Per site vs per subscriber The two tools don't even charge for the same thing. Oh Dear · per site From $17/mo Priced by how many sites you watch. Monitoring and status page in one bill. - **Same features on every plan**: status page, custom domain, SSO, unlimited users - Monitoring included, it's the product - 10-day free trial · no card · 30-day money-back Atlassian Statuspage · per subscriber Free → $1,499/mo Priced by subscribers and team members. Communication only. - Free (100 subscribers, no custom domain, email only) - $29 Hobby · $99 Startup · $399 Business · $1,499 Enterprise - Private & audience-specific pages priced separately ($79 / $300+) - **Monitors nothing**: add a separate monitor's bill on top Why this comparison is lopsided ## Buy one tool, not two A status page is only useful when something tells it the truth. Atlassian Statuspage is very good at the telling, components, subscribers, postmortems, but it never watches your site. So you buy Statuspage, then you buy a monitor to make it mean anything, and you become the wire between them. Oh Dear watches your sites and runs the status page from the same checks, so the page is already telling the truth at 2am, whether or not you're awake to post it. That's the whole story of this page. If your status page is a product with a public audience of thousands, Statuspage earns its name. For everyone else, agencies, dev shops, EU teams keeping clients informed, one tool that monitors *and* announces is the simpler, cheaper, more honest answer. ## Weighing other tools?

Anthony M., FullStack Developer · Capterra review, 5.0 [ 4.9 (70) ](https://www.capterra.com/p/190028/Oh-Dear/ "Oh Dear on Capterra") [ 4.7 (31) ](https://www.g2.com/products/oh-dear/reviews "Oh Dear on G2") ## Frequently asked questions ### What's the best Atlassian Statuspage alternative? It depends on what you are missing. If you want a status page *and* the monitoring to drive it, without paying for two tools, Oh Dear is the closest single-tool answer: it monitors uptime, SSL, DNS, cron and performance, then runs a branded status page that updates from those checks, from $17/mo. If you need Statuspage's large-scale subscriber communications and component-level incidents, status-page-only tools like Instatus or OpenStatus are closer substitutes. ### Does Atlassian Statuspage monitor your website? No. Statuspage is an incident-communication tool, not a monitoring tool. It displays the status you give it, either manually or through an integration with a separate monitoring service. To know that something is down, you need a monitor feeding Statuspage. ### How much does Atlassian Statuspage cost? There is a free plan (100 subscribers, no custom domain, email only), then Hobby at $29/mo, Startup at $99/mo, Business at $399/mo, and Enterprise at $1,499/mo for public pages. Private and audience-specific pages are priced separately, from $79 and $300/mo. None of these plans include website monitoring. ### Can I use Oh Dear and Atlassian Statuspage together? Yes. If you are committed to Statuspage's communication depth, Oh Dear can be the monitor behind it: Oh Dear detects the issue and can post incidents to your Statuspage through the API. Many teams find they no longer need the second tool once Oh Dear's own status page is set up. ### Does Oh Dear's status page run on my own domain? Yes, on every plan. You point a single DNS record at Oh Dear, add your logo and colours, and the status page lives on your own domain. By comparison, custom domains on Atlassian Statuspage start at the $29/mo Hobby plan. ### Is Oh Dear a good status page for an agency? Yes, it is built for it. One Oh Dear account watches every client's sites, and each client gets a branded status page on its own domain, with uptime measured by an independent service. Your clients trust the numbers because you did not write them. [See all other FAQ items →](https://ohdear.app/docs/faq) ## Start monitoring instantly Start a no-strings-attached 10-day free trial.
