What is Atlassian Statuspage?
Statuspage (statuspage.io, by Atlassian) is a dedicated status-page and incident-communication tool. It hosts public and private status pages, organises services into components, manages incidents and scheduled maintenance, and notifies subscribers by email, SMS, Slack and webhook. It integrates tightly with Jira, Opsgenie and the wider Atlassian suite.
One thing Statuspage does not do is monitor your infrastructure. It is a communication layer: you connect external monitoring tools or update component status manually or through the API. Pricing is per status page and per subscriber tier, the Free plan allows 100 subscribers and 25 components but no custom domain; a custom domain and custom CSS start on the Hobby plan at $29/month, rising to $99 (Startup), $399 (Business) and $1,499 (Enterprise) for higher subscriber counts. Private and audience-specific pages cost more again.
When Statuspage is the right tool
Statuspage is an excellent fit when status communication itself is the core need:
- Enterprise incident communication. Audience-specific pages, large subscriber lists, SMS and Slack subscribers, and granular components are first-class.
- Deep Atlassian workflows. If your team lives in Jira and Opsgenie, the native integrations and on-call handoff are hard to beat.
- Heavily branded public pages. Custom CSS and custom domains (on paid tiers) give marketing-grade control over a high-traffic status page.
Where Statuspage stops being enough
- It does not monitor anything. You still pay for separate uptime and API monitoring and wire it in, or update status by hand, which drifts from reality.
- It is another subscription. A custom domain alone means at least $29/month on top of your existing monitoring bill.
- No load testing or page-speed monitoring. Statuspage is single-purpose; performance testing lives in other tools and bills.

When LoadFocus is the right alternative to Statuspage
You already run API or uptime monitoring
With LoadFocus API monitoring, your status page is driven by the checks you already run, component status and 90-day uptime reflect real results from 25+ regions automatically, with nothing to update by hand.
You want one bill, not two
Instead of a monitoring tool plus a separate Statuspage subscription, LoadFocus bundles monitoring and the public status page together, with a free tier to start and a custom domain on paid plans.
You also need load and performance testing
The same account covers cloud load testing, JMeter testing and page-speed monitoring, one place for performance and status.
You want a status page without enterprise overhead
If you do not need audience-specific pages, SMS subscribers or deep Atlassian workflows, LoadFocus gives you a clean public status page in minutes.
Migration from Statuspage
Moving is straightforward: recreate your components in the LoadFocus status-page editor, map each to the monitors that power it (status then flows automatically), add your incidents and maintenance templates, and point your status. subdomain at LoadFocus with the two DNS records shown in the editor. HTTPS is issued for you. See the Status Pages guide to get started.
FAQ: LoadFocus vs Statuspage
Can LoadFocus replace Statuspage?
For teams that want a public status page driven by their own monitoring, yes. If you depend on audience-specific pages, SMS subscribers or deep Atlassian/Opsgenie incident workflows, Statuspage remains more specialised.
Does Statuspage monitor uptime?
No. Statuspage displays status that you provide; it does not run checks. LoadFocus includes the monitoring and drives the page from it.
How does pricing compare?
Statuspage’s Free plan has no custom domain; a custom domain starts at $29/month. LoadFocus offers a free public status page and bundles a custom domain into paid plans alongside the monitoring you are already paying for.
Will my status page update automatically?
Yes. LoadFocus components are mapped to your monitors, so live status and 90-day uptime update from real check results without manual edits.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on paid plans, serve the page at status.yourcompany.com with an automatically issued, auto-renewing HTTPS certificate.
Can I use both tools together?
Yes. Some teams keep Statuspage for customer-facing comms and use LoadFocus for monitoring, load testing and an internal status page. Most teams consolidate over time.
