RealUptime Status vs Statuspage (Atlassian)
Statuspage is an established incident-communication product. Its own documentation directs teams to monitoring integrations, email automation, or its API for automated infrastructure updates. RealUptime Status combines the endpoint monitor and public page, and exposes each region's reading on the page: four named regions by default, configurable down per monitor.

Is there a free tier?
RealUptime is free to start and never asks for a card. One signup turns on the free rung of every product: 10 monitors with a public status page, 5 server-agent slots, and 10,000 error events a month kept for 14 days. RealUptime Outages is free to read with no account at all.
Statuspage: up to 2 public pages, 25 components and 100 subscribers on its free tier, with email, Slack and Microsoft Teams notification channels.
Is it open source or self-hosted?
RealUptime's core is a hosted service and its source is not published, so there is no self-hosted edition of the platform itself. The parts that run on your side are open source at github.com/RealUptimeHQ: the CLI and the RealUptime Errors SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Go, PHP and Ruby are MIT-licensed, and the Grafana data source is Apache 2.0.
Statuspage: a hosted product that publishes no source and no self-hosted edition.
If self-hosting is a hard requirement, these are the open-source options in this category: Uptime Kuma (MIT), OpenStatus (AGPL-3.0), Healthchecks.io (BSD 3-Clause) and OneUptime (Apache 2.0).
Looking for a Statuspage alternative?
For the reasoning behind checking from more than one region at all, see why a status page can show all green during a real outage. Comparing more than just this one alternative? The status page tool checklist covers what to test before committing to any of them.
