BUILT IN PUBLIC
I launched EurekaWrite last year and users kept DM-ing me “is it down?” after every deploy. Statuspage.io wanted $29/month for a page that says “All Systems Operational.” Upptime wanted me to configure GitHub Actions. Neither felt right for a solo project.
So I built StatusPageBuddy — the status page I wish I'd had when I launched. It's free forever at the tier I actually use, and I'm dogfooding it at /s/eurekawrite.

Status pages are weirdly expensive
Statuspage.io charges $29/month for a page that basically says "All Systems Operational." Upptime wants you to mess around with GitHub Actions and YAML files. Your users just want to know if your app is up. You just want to tell them without burning a weekend on it.
What you don't need
WHAT YOU GET INSTEAD
If your users ever ask "is it down?", you need a status page
Building a SaaS, an API, a mobile app, or really anything with users? This gives you a status page without the enterprise price tag.
STRAIGHT TALK
This isn't a monitoring tool
No URL pinging. No auto-alerts. No uptime checks. Pair StatusPageBuddy with UptimeRobot, Sentry, Better Stack, or whatever you already use — we handle the public-facing page, you keep your existing monitoring stack.
Frequently asked questions
Is the free tier really free?
Yes. 1 status page, 5 components, unlimited incidents. No credit card, no trial expiry. Free forever.
How fast is the setup?
Sign up, type your project name, pick a template, done. Your status page is live at statuspagebuddy.com/s/yourapp. We actually timed it once. 47 seconds.
Can I use my own domain?
Not yet. Your page lives at statuspagebuddy.com/s/yourapp for now. Custom domains are on the roadmap for Pro.
What happens if I outgrow the free tier?
Upgrade to Pro ($9/mo) for unlimited pages, unlimited components, custom domains, and email notifications. No lock-in, downgrade anytime.
How is this different from Statuspage.io?
Statuspage.io is built for companies with dedicated SRE teams. We're built for indie devs who just want a status page without the overhead. Our free tier covers what their $29/month plan does, and setup takes about a minute instead of an hour.
Does StatusPageBuddy monitor my uptime?
No — it's a status page, not a monitoring tool. There are no URL pings, no automatic alerts. Pair it with UptimeRobot, Sentry, Better Stack, or whatever you already use. We handle the public-facing page; you keep your existing monitoring stack.
