Atlassian Statuspage is a status page tool — but it doesn't monitor anything. CheckHost gives you full uptime monitoring AND status pages in one platform, starting free.
Statuspage only creates status pages — you still need a separate monitoring tool to detect issues. CheckHost combines 24/7 monitoring from 40+ locations with customizable status pages in one platform, starting at $0 instead of $29/month.
Advantages
Key differences that matter for your uptime monitoring.
Statuspage only shows status — it can't detect downtime. CheckHost monitors your services 24/7 from 40+ locations AND provides status pages. One tool instead of two.
When CheckHost detects downtime, it can automatically update your status page. With Statuspage, someone has to manually report every incident.
CheckHost Team at $34.29/mo gives you monitoring + status pages. Statuspage Business at $99/mo gives you status pages only — you still pay extra for a monitoring tool.
Start with free monitoring and basic status pages at $0. Statuspage has no free tier — their cheapest plan is $29/month.
Statuspage is part of the Atlassian ecosystem, which often means managing Jira, Confluence, and more. CheckHost is standalone — simple, focused, and independent.
40+ monitoring locations verify your uptime from every continent. Statuspage has zero monitoring capabilities — it trusts you to manually update status.

Notify your subscribers about the new status page URL (or point your custom domain to CheckHost).
Cancel your Statuspage subscription — CheckHost handles both monitoring and status communication.
No. Statuspage is purely a communication tool for status pages. It does not monitor your services. You need a separate monitoring tool (like CheckHost, Datadog, or PagerDuty) to detect downtime. CheckHost combines both in one platform.
For most teams, yes. CheckHost provides monitoring + status pages with custom domains, branding, scheduled maintenance windows, and incident management. The main difference is that Statuspage has more subscriber notification options (SMS) and deeper Atlassian integrations.
Statuspage Startup ($79/mo) + UptimeRobot Pro ($7/mo) = $86/month for basic monitoring + status pages. CheckHost Team plan gives you both for $34.29/month — saving over $600/year.
CheckHost status pages support custom domains, logos, colors, and components. Statuspage has more advanced customization options on enterprise plans (custom CSS, iframe embedding). For most teams, CheckHost's customization is more than sufficient.
