AppStatus review
Affordable web monitoring with incident updates, status pages, and broad alert routing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AppStatus combines multi-region uptime monitoring, alert routing, and incident communication for teams responsible for websites, APIs, servers, and other infrastructure. It checks HTTP, API, port, and ping endpoints, then lets teams map monitors to customer-facing components and publish incident or scheduled maintenance updates. Public status pages can use custom domains; private pages can be password-protected. Heartbeat checks cover cron jobs and scheduled tasks, while badges and embeddable widgets provide ways to display uptime. It suits teams that want monitoring and customer-facing status communication in one web-based product.
The published plans show a free tier with 5 monitors, 1 status page, 1 agent, 5 team members, 30 days of retention, and 15 notifications per day. Starter is $6 per month with annual billing and increases capacity to 50 monitors, 10 status pages, and 10 agents, with 15 team members, 3 workspaces, and 365 days of retention. Pro costs $15 per month annually and adds custom domains alongside 200 monitors, 50 status pages, and 25 agents. Business is $39 monthly on annual billing, with 500 monitors, 100 pages, unlimited team members, and custom webhooks. Enterprise is $119 per month annually and offers unlimited monitors, status pages, agents, and team members, plus custom integrations and a dedicated CSM. A 14-day free trial is also available.
Alert routing and communication are central strengths: integrations include Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Telegram, WhatsApp, email, SMS, webhooks, Pushover, and GitHub. Email subscriber notifications support status announcements, and AI features are included. The main trade-off is platform coverage: AppStatus is web-only. Teams that want a web-based monitoring and status-page service with broad notification options may find its tier progression useful; teams requiring a desktop or mobile app should look elsewhere.
