openstatus is an open-source status page and synthetic monitoring platform that helps engineering teams communicate system health to their users and proactively detect downtime. It is designed for SaaS companies, startups, and development teams who need a reliable way to manage incidents and monitor uptime from a single dashboard.

The platform

provides customizable, public-facing status pages where teams can publish real-time system status, incident updates, and scheduled maintenance windows. Subscribers can opt in to receive notifications about outages and maintenance, reducing support ticket volume and building trust with end users.

Key features include:

- Status pages with custom domains: brand your status page with your own domain and customize the look to match your product

- Incident and maintenance management: create status reports with component-level updates to keep users informed throughout an incident lifecycle

- Subscriber notifications: allow users to subscribe to status updates via email or webhook, with filtering by component

- Synthetic monitoring from 28 global regions: monitor websites and APIs with checks as frequent as every 30 seconds, with response time tracking and detailed logs

- Multi-channel alerting: receive notifications via Slack, Discord, email, SMS, WhatsApp, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, or Grafana OnCall when a monitor detects an issue

openstatus supports team collaboration with unlimited members on paid plans, audit logs, and a REST API for programmatic access. It offers three pricing tiers — a free Hobby plan for personal projects, a Starter plan for growing teams, and a Pro plan for organizations that need global coverage, advanced integrations, and extended data retention. The platform is fully open source, giving teams the option to self-host or use the managed cloud service.
