Atlassian Statuspage is a status page communication tool — it doesn't monitor anything. CheckHost gives you full uptime monitoring AND status pages in one platform, with automatic incident detection.
Statuspage only creates status pages — you still need a separate monitoring tool to detect issues. CheckHost combines 24/7 monitoring from 15 global locations with customizable status pages in one platform. Save money by replacing two tools with one.
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 15 global locations AND provides status pages. One tool instead of two.
When CheckHost detects downtime, it can automatically create incidents and update your status page. With Statuspage alone, someone has to manually report every incident.
CheckHost Team at $34.29/mo gives you monitoring + status pages + incident management. Statuspage Startup at $99/mo gives you status pages only — you still pay extra for a monitoring tool on top.
CheckHost free: 5 monitors + 1 status page + automatic detection. Statuspage free: status page for 100 subscribers, no monitoring. If you need both monitoring and status communication, CheckHost's free tier is more useful.
Statuspage is part of the Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, Confluence, Trello). CheckHost is standalone — simple, focused, and independent. No ecosystem commitment required.
Dashboard in 7 languages — serve international teams natively. Statuspage is English-only.

Migration
A simple migration path — no downtime, no hassle.
Create a free CheckHost account and set up monitors for all services shown on your current Statuspage.
Build your CheckHost status page — add components matching your Statuspage layout, configure custom domain.
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 cannot detect downtime. You need a separate monitoring tool (like CheckHost, Datadog, or PagerDuty) to detect issues. CheckHost combines both in one platform.
Statuspage's free plan gives you a status page for up to 100 subscribers with 2 team members — but zero monitoring. CheckHost's free plan gives you 5 monitors with multi-location verification plus a basic status page. If you need to actually detect downtime, CheckHost's free plan is more complete.
For most teams, yes. CheckHost provides monitoring + status pages with custom domains, branding, scheduled maintenance, and incident management. Statuspage has more advanced customization (custom CSS/HTML on higher plans), SMS subscriber notifications, and audience-specific pages. For most use cases, CheckHost covers everything you need.
Statuspage Startup ($99/mo) + UptimeRobot Solo ($8/mo) = $107/month for basic monitoring + status pages. CheckHost Team plan gives you both for $34.29/month — saving over $870/year.
Yes. Statuspage is part of the Atlassian ecosystem. You need an Atlassian account. CheckHost is fully independent — sign up and start in 2 minutes.
Yes. When CheckHost detects downtime through its monitoring, incidents can be automatically created and the status page updated to reflect the issue. With Statuspage alone, every incident must be reported manually.
