Uptimeify vs. OpenStatus
OpenStatus is open source, checks from 28 regions worldwide and runs from Terraform and MCP. A status page per client under your brand, though, means extra pages and the white-label add-on. On Uptimeify, every status page is permanently free, on your own domain and with no one else's name on it.
For agencies and MSPs
- Every status page permanently free, one per client
- Your own domain and subscribers from day one
- No vendor name on the page, at no extra cost
- Client login, SSO, password or IP allowlist for free
- Hosted in the EU, no server of your own
For developer teams running infrastructure as code
- One free page with three components, each extra page $20 a month
- Custom domain and subscribers from $30 a month
- No "Powered by" for an extra $300, or on the $500 Scale plan
- Password from $30, magic link and IP allowlist $100 extra each
- App and database hosted globally, your own location via self-hosting

In short
OpenStatus is built for developer teams who watch their own platform and keep their users informed. If you manage monitoring as code, value open source or prefer to host it yourself, you get a well-made tool with a low entry price.
Once you run status pages for several clients, the math changes. The free plan stops at one page with three components and no custom domain. Every extra page costs $20 a month, and removing the "Powered by" line costs an extra $300 on Starter and Pro.
Uptimeify starts right there: one status page per client, on that client's domain and under your brand, permanently free and hosted in the EU. If you want monitoring behind it later, you add it on the same platform.

Where Uptimeify leads
Three things OpenStatus solves differently, and that we built for your agency.
A status page per client, without a bill per page. On OpenStatus, the free plan includes one page with three components, and every extra page costs $20 a month. On Uptimeify, you create a page per client on that client's domain, so a new client does not automatically mean new costs.
Your brand, without an add-on. OpenStatus removes the "Powered by" line for $300 a month, or on the $500 Scale plan. Uptimeify never names itself on your status page, and the optional line shows your own product name, so your client sees you during every outage.
Hosted in the EU, no server of your own. According to its subprocessor list, OpenStatus runs its app and primary database globally, with only parts such as email and analytics in the EU. Uptimeify is hosted in the EU and the data processing agreement is ready to sign, so you can answer your client's data protection question without running anything yourself.
Where OpenStatus wins
No tool wins everywhere. Three points where OpenStatus is the better choice.
Open source and self-hosting. OpenStatus is AGPL-3.0 licensed on GitHub, has more than 9,000 stars and runs on your own infrastructure. If you want to audit the code or host it yourself, you can.
Check regions around the world. OpenStatus checks from 28 regions on six continents, all selected regions at the same time. For services with users in the Americas, Asia or Oceania, that is a real advantage.
Moving in by import. OpenStatus imports status pages from Atlassian Statuspage, Better Stack and Instatus with an API key, including incidents, maintenances and subscribers, with a preview before anything is written.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on the plan and add-ons. The free Hobby plan covers one page with three components. Starter costs $30 a month for one page with a custom domain and subscribers, Pro $100 for five pages, and every extra page is $20. White label, meaning no "Powered by", costs an extra $300 a month on Starter and Pro and is only included on the $500 Scale plan, which comes with ten pages. On Uptimeify, every status page is permanently free, with no vendor name on it.
Yes, by hand. There is no automatic import at the moment. You create components and groups in the editor, via API or with Terraform, move your domain with a TXT record and a CNAME, and collect your subscribers again, because every subscription with us only becomes active after confirmation.
Uptimeify is hosted in the EU, the subprocessors are listed publicly, and the data processing agreement is ready to sign. OpenStatus lists "Global" as the region for app hosting and its database, and the EU for queues, analytics and email. If you self-host OpenStatus, you choose the location yourself.
Nothing. Logo, colors, layout and domain of the status page are yours, and the page does not name Uptimeify. The optional "Powered by" line shows your own product name, and you can switch it off. If you add monitoring, your dashboard, client accounts and reports run under your brand too, in every quota.
Yes, both, just like OpenStatus. The provider for OpenTofu and Terraform manages monitors, status pages and the incident management for your team as code, per client with its own token if you like. Through the MCP server, your AI agent reads the status of your monitors and runs checks, and you grant write access only explicitly.
No. You maintain components by hand or via API. If you use monitoring on Uptimeify, components follow your monitors automatically, and for third-party services you can add over 100 providers such as Hetzner, IONOS and Cloudflare.
For the technical evaluator
From OpenStatus to status pages without add-ons
Create the first page for your client, connect their domain and check it all in the preview. They see your brand, and your bill for status pages stays at zero.
