Your status page should never lie

An automated status page reflects your actual service health in real time, powered by monitoring data rather than manual toggles. Traditional status pages require someone to log in and manually change the status during an incident, which introduces delays and human error. UpCanary eliminates this entirely by connecting monitoring directly to your public status page. When a monitor detects an outage, the status page updates within seconds with no human intervention needed. This means your customers always see accurate, trustworthy information instead of a stale "All Systems Operational" message while your service is actually down. Automated status pages build customer trust by proving transparency is built into your infrastructure, not dependent on someone remembering to flip a switch.

Atlassian Statuspage requires manual updates for every incident. Someone has to log in, assess the situation, write an update, and change the status. UpCanary automates this entire workflow by combining uptime monitoring and status pages into a single integrated tool. When a monitor detects a problem, your status page updates instantly and automatically. Beyond automation, UpCanary uses flexible credit based pricing instead of expensive fixed plans, so you only pay for the monitoring you actually use. There are no per seat surprises or forced feature bundles. UpCanary also offers sub 3 second outage detection from six continents, with incident management, customizable branded status pages, and deeper integrations all coming soon on the roadmap.

UpCanary uses a two axis pricing model: subscriptions unlock features, and credits fund monitoring checks. You can use one or both independently. The free Basic plan includes 100K credits and one status page with no credit card required. The Starter plan at $9/month adds 100K credits per month, five team seats, and three status pages. The Pro plan at $29/month includes 400K credits per month, unlimited team members, and ten status pages, with custom domain support coming soon. Additional monitoring credits are available as pay as you go packages starting at $6 for 200K credits. This means you can monitor a single website for as little as $0.26 per month, scaling costs precisely with your actual usage.

UpCanary supports five monitoring protocols to cover every aspect of your infrastructure. HTTP and HTTPS monitoring checks your web endpoints for availability, correct status codes, and response content. TCP monitoring verifies that specific ports are open and accepting connections, ideal for databases and custom services. DNS monitoring ensures your domain records resolve correctly and consistently. SSL certificate monitoring tracks expiry dates so you never face an unexpected certificate lapse. ICMP Ping monitoring confirms basic host reachability at the network level. All protocols run from monitoring nodes on six continents, providing global coverage with sub 3 second outage detection and smart alerting that filters out transient network blips to minimize false positives.

No credit card is required to start using UpCanary. The free Basic plan includes 100K monitoring credits and one status page, giving you enough resources to monitor multiple services and publish a public status page immediately. Simply sign up with your email, create your first monitor, and your status page is live within minutes. The free credits are sufficient to run an HTTP check every 30 seconds on a single endpoint for several months, so you can thoroughly evaluate the platform before deciding whether to upgrade. When you do want more capacity or features like team collaboration and additional status pages, upgrading is instant with no service interruption.

UpCanary detects outages in under 3 seconds. Monitors run simultaneously from multiple global locations across six continents, so a failure is confirmed from several vantage points almost instantly. This multi region approach also powers smart alerting. Rather than firing on a single failed check that might be a transient network blip, UpCanary correlates results across regions to distinguish real outages from false positives. Once an outage is confirmed, your status page updates automatically and alerts are dispatched through your configured channels. You can set check intervals as low as 30 seconds, and with monitoring nodes distributed worldwide, your customers get accurate status information no matter where they are located.

UpCanary uses a credit system to make monitoring costs transparent and predictable. Every monitoring check consumes a small number of credits based on the protocol and complexity. For example, an HTTP check costs fewer credits than a multi step DNS resolution. Credits are available in pay as you go packages ranging from 200K credits for $6 to 60M credits for $600, with volume discounts at higher tiers. Subscription plans also include a monthly credit allowance: Starter includes 100K and Pro includes 400K. Unused credits from packages never expire, while subscription credits refresh monthly. This model means you never pay for monitoring capacity you do not use, and you can scale up or down instantly without changing plans or contacting sales.

Custom domains are coming soon on the Pro plan. Once available, instead of using a default upcanary.io subdomain, you will be able to serve your status page from a domain you own, such as status.yourcompany.com. This keeps your brand experience consistent and builds trust with customers who see your own domain in the address bar. Setting up a custom domain will require adding a CNAME record in your DNS provider pointing to UpCanary, and the platform will handle SSL certificate provisioning automatically. Combined with custom CSS support that is also coming soon on Pro, you will be able to create a status page that matches your brand identity completely: your colors, your typography, and your domain.

When UpCanary confirms an outage through multi region checks, your public status page updates automatically to reflect the affected service and its current state, and email alerts are dispatched immediately. Slack, Discord, webhook, PagerDuty, and OpsGenie notifications are coming soon. Full incident management is also on the roadmap, which will add incident records with timestamps, severity classification, and affected monitors for your team to review. As the situation evolves, UpCanary continues monitoring and updates the status page when service is restored. Once incident management launches, your team will be able to add manual notes and severity adjustments for more detailed communication, and the full incident timeline will be preserved for post mortems and historical reporting.

Status page customization is coming soon across all UpCanary plans. Once launched, all tiers will let you upload your logo, set custom colors, and choose from built in themes so your status page feels like a natural part of your product rather than a generic third party tool. On the Pro plan you will get full custom CSS access, letting you adjust typography, layout, and visual details to match your design system precisely. Pro will also include custom domain support, so the page can be served from your own subdomain such as status.yourcompany.com instead of a default upcanary.io address. Consistent branding across your product and status page reinforces trust with customers and signals that reliability is a core part of your engineering culture, not an afterthought.

UpCanary supports three visibility modes for status pages: public, private (password protected), and protected. Public pages are accessible to anyone and are ideal for communicating with external customers. Private pages require a password, making them well suited for internal teams who need visibility into the health of internal services without exposing that information publicly. Protected pages offer more granular access controls for enterprise scenarios. Private and protected modes are available on Starter and Pro plans, so engineering teams, operations staff, and internal stakeholders can all stay informed during incidents without the page being indexed or visible to the broader internet. This flexibility means UpCanary works equally well for customer facing products and internal infrastructure monitoring.

UpCanary uses multi region consensus checking to ensure only real outages trigger status updates and alerts. Every monitor runs simultaneously from nodes across six continents, and a failure must be confirmed by checks from multiple independent locations before UpCanary treats it as a genuine incident. This approach filters out transient network blips, routing anomalies, and single region connectivity issues that do not actually affect your users. Smart alerting logic compares results across regions in real time and suppresses notifications for events that resolve within a brief window. The result is that your team receives alerts only when a confirmed outage is occurring, reducing alert fatigue significantly and keeping your status page accurate without unnecessary incident noise.

UpCanary supports email alerts on all plans, including the free Basic tier, so you are notified the moment a confirmed outage is detected. On Starter and above, Slack, Discord, and webhook integrations are coming soon, giving your team notifications in the tools you already use for incident response. The Pro plan will add deeper integrations with PagerDuty, OpsGenie, and Microsoft Teams for enterprise on call workflows. A public REST API is also planned for the Pro plan, which will let you build custom integrations, pull monitoring data into your own dashboards, trigger status updates programmatically, or connect UpCanary to internal tooling. This means UpCanary is designed to fit into your existing workflows and grow with your team as new integration options become available.
