vsStatuspageThe free Statuspage alternative
OrgOrg vs Statuspage · Hosted status page by Atlassian, priced per page
Free for teams of up to 5. Every app, no feature gates, no credit card. Past 5 people, Pro is $10 per member per month.
Statuspage is the default hosted status page: a polished public page, subscriber notifications, and ties to Jira Service Management, priced per page from $29 to $1,499 a month. OrgOrg's Status app backs every service with real probes, on your own domain, free for up to 5 people. This page lays out the honest tradeoffs.
When OrgOrg is the right pick
Teams that want the status to be measured rather than typed. OrgOrg runs HTTP checks, synthetic browser flows such as login and signup, and upstream provider health on a schedule, and the worst probe sets each service's state. It is the right pick when you also want on-call, go links, and the rest of the suite for one price instead of a per-page bill.
When Statuspage is the right pick
Teams already on Atlassian that want subscriber email, SMS, and webhook notifications, a third-party component library, and an audience-facing page with a decade of polish. Statuspage is the safe pick when your incident tooling is Jira Service Management, and when per-subscriber notifications are a first-class need.
Where OrgOrg wins
- Service status comes from probes: HTTP checks, synthetic Playwright flows, and upstream health for Convex, Cloudflare, GCP, and Vercel.
- The worst probe sets the service, so a partial outage cannot hide behind one healthy check.
- A custom hostname, logo, brand color, and support email on the free plan. Statuspage's free plan has no custom domain.
- Incident updates, maintenance windows, and per-service uptime bars on one page.
- One of 20 or more apps for one flat price, with On-Call in the same suite: a paged rotation opens a status incident.
Where Statuspage wins
- Subscriber notifications by email on every plan, by SMS and webhook from the Startup plan, and Slack subscriptions on public pages, with no cap on the number of notifications.
- Native links to Jira Service Management: an active incident shows on the customer portal.
- A third-party component library that mirrors other vendors' status on your page.
- Private pages with SAML for employees, and audience-specific pages for customer groups, each with its own plan.
- Component status set by monitoring tools through email parsing (Pingdom, New Relic, and any tool that sends an email), and a REST API on every plan.

How to move from Statuspage to OrgOrg
A status page moves in an afternoon when the components and their checks are listed first. Keep the Statuspage page up until the OrgOrg page shows a day of real health, then move the domain.
- List the components and what sets them. Each component on the Statuspage page becomes a service in OrgOrg. Note which ones a monitoring tool sets by email and which ones a person flips. Export the subscribers as JSON or CSV from the Statuspage admin.
- Create the services and attach probes. Add each service, then attach an HTTP check, a synthetic login or signup flow, or an upstream provider's health. A component a person used to flip gets a probe now, and the worst probe sets the service.
- Brand the page. Add your logo, brand color, support email, and website link, and set the custom hostname. The domain is a CNAME, as it was with Statuspage.
- Tell your subscribers. OrgOrg's page has no subscriber list. Post one last update on Statuspage with the new address, and keep the old page for a month so the people who bookmarked it find the new one.
- Move the domain and link On-Call. Point the CNAME at OrgOrg after a day of green probes. Then link each service to the rotation that covers it, so a page to the on-call opens a status incident on the public page.
The verdict
Statuspage is the better pick when your incidents live in Jira Service Management. It wins when subscribers must get email and SMS on each update, and when a private or audience-specific page is on the list. OrgOrg is the better pick when the page should measure the product with HTTP checks and real browser flows, and serve on your own domain for free. On-call, the people directory, and the rest of the suite come with it, for one price per member instead of one price per page.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Statuspage free?
- Yes, with limits. Atlassian's free plan gives up to two public pages with 100 subscribers, 25 components, two team members, and two metrics, and no custom domain. A page on your own domain starts at $29 a month on the Hobby plan. OrgOrg's status page is free for teams of up to 5 people, custom domain included.
- Is there a free Statuspage alternative with a custom domain?
- OrgOrg's Status app serves the page on your own hostname with your logo, brand color, and support email on the free plan. The page is backed by probes, thus the status comes from measured health, not from a switch someone flips.
- How much does Statuspage cost?
- Statuspage bills per page. Public pages run $29 (Hobby), $99 (Startup), $399 (Business), and $1,499 (Enterprise) a month. Private pages run $79 to $1,499 a month, and audience-specific pages start at $300. OrgOrg is free for up to 5 people and $10 per member a month after that, for the whole suite.
- Does Statuspage monitor my services?
- No. Statuspage runs no checks of its own. A component changes by hand, through the API, or when a monitoring tool such as Pingdom or New Relic sends an email that Statuspage parses. OrgOrg runs its own probes, including synthetic browser flows, and the worst probe sets the service.
- Can OrgOrg notify my subscribers like Statuspage does?
- No. Statuspage sends email on every plan, SMS and webhooks from the Startup plan, and Slack subscriptions on public pages. OrgOrg's page is read-only for visitors today. A team whose customers expect an email on each incident should weigh that first.
- What happened to Opsgenie, which paired with Statuspage?
- Atlassian ended new sales of Opsgenie on June 4, 2025 and ends its support on April 5, 2027. Its on-call customers move to Jira Service Management. OrgOrg's On-Call app pairs with the Status app in the same suite: a paged rotation opens a status incident on the services linked to it.
