Instatus combines monitoring, incident response, on-call, and status pages. Its monitoring guide says each check runs from one selected location at a time and rotates among the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. realuptime status is narrower and shows four named region readings together on the public page.

Instatus pages present a component state; realuptime status pages lead with the evidence. Four named regions probe every monitor and their readings are published side by side, disagreement included, so a partial outage looks like exactly what it is. The monitor and the page ship as one product at one flat price — nothing to integrate, and no way for the page to say something the checks did not measure.
