Statuspage offers status pages only. PerkyDash combines monitoring + status pages. Same outcome, one tool, 70-90% lower cost.
Statuspage is status pages only. You still need to pay for a monitoring tool separately.
PerkyDash includes both monitoring and status pages. One tool, one bill, one setup.
Cost comparison: Statuspage Hobby ($29/mo) + monitoring ($15-50/mo) = $44-79/mo. PerkyDash Pro: €9.99/mo for both.
Statuspage wins if: You're already in the Atlassian ecosystem, need enterprise compliance, or require deep Jira integration.
PerkyDash wins if: You need monitoring + status pages, prefer simplicity, or want to save 70-90%.
+ separate monitoring tool required
Best for: Enterprises in Atlassian ecosystem
Everything included. One tool, automated, lower cost.

What Statuspage does better
Used by Reddit, Cloudflare, Dropbox. Proven at massive scale.
Show status of services you depend on (Stripe, AWS, etc.)
Native Jira and Opsgenie integration if you're already in that world
Full HTML/JS customization on higher tiers
Let users subscribe to specific components only
SOC2, GDPR, enterprise security certifications
Different status views for different customer segments
If you're an enterprise already using Atlassian products, Statuspage's deep integration with Jira and Opsgenie is genuinely valuable. The ecosystem benefits are real.
One tool instead of two. Detect AND communicate.
€9.99/mo vs $29/mo minimum, and you get monitoring included
Catch visual/layout issues automatically. Statuspage can't do this.
Free tool to create instant status page during crisis. No signup needed.
Two plans, clear limits, no surprise overages
Not designed for enterprise complexity
Status page can reflect monitor status automatically
The difference? Faster communication, less manual work, one less tool to manage, one less bill to pay.
"I'm always surprised that there's no monitoring built into the product."
— Actual Statuspage user review on Capterra
Consider:
If you're paying $29+/mo for Statuspage and another $15-50/mo for monitoring, consolidating to PerkyDash is straightforward:
14 days free, no credit card required
5-10 minutes to configure your checks
Use same components as your current page
Point your custom domain to PerkyDash
Most users complete migration in an afternoon
Note: Your subscribers will need to re-subscribe to the new page.
For enterprises already in the Atlassian ecosystem, yes - the Jira and Opsgenie integrations are valuable. If you're not using Atlassian products, the enterprise premium is harder to justify.
PerkyDash has generous subscriber limits suitable for most indie makers and SMBs. If you need 25,000+ subscribers with audience segmentation, Statuspage's enterprise tier is designed for that scale.
Statuspage can show the status of 150+ third-party services (AWS, Stripe, etc.) on your page. PerkyDash doesn't have this feature yet. If displaying dependency status is critical, Statuspage has an advantage here.
Statuspage is battle-tested at massive scale and deeply integrated with enterprise incident management. For companies with dedicated ops teams and existing monitoring, it's a focused tool that does one thing very well. For everyone else, paying separately for monitoring + status pages is harder to justify.
Not natively. PerkyDash integrates via webhooks, so you can connect to Jira via automation tools like Zapier. If native Jira integration is essential, Statuspage is the better choice.
Yes, completely free, no signup required. It's designed for crisis moments when you need to communicate immediately. It's not a replacement for a permanent status page, but it's there when you need it most.
Atlassian Statuspage is the industry standard for status pages. Enterprise-grade, deeply integrated with Atlassian products, trusted by major tech companies.
But it's only status pages. No monitoring. You need (and pay for) a separate tool to detect issues.
PerkyDash combines monitoring + status pages in one tool, at a fraction of the cost. Perfect for indie makers, startups, and agencies who want to detect issues AND communicate them without juggling multiple vendors.
The question isn't "which status page tool?" - it's "do I want to pay for two tools or one?"
