Web app that tracks the status pages of your critical SaaS providers (APIs, cloud, payments) and correlates incidents with your own monitoring. Auto-notifies customers, drafts incident updates, and suggests failover playbooks. Integrations for Statuspage/Hund/Better Stack.
Platform: web
Engineering and DevOps teams often depend on 20-100 external SaaS services (cloud, auth, emails, payments, logging). When any of those vendors go down, teams scramble to (1) realise it’s not their own code, (2) communicate with customers, and (3) decide on a fail-over procedure.
| Product | Focus | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| StatusGator (statusgator.com) | Aggregates >2,800 vendor status pages, sends alerts, offers API | Bootstrapped, public since 2015, has paying customers. |
| IsDown (isdown.app) | Same concept, nice UX, integrates with Slack & PagerDuty | YC-backed (W22). |
| Updown, Better Uptime, PagerDuty | Mainly first-party uptime, provide 3rd-party status add-on | Not focused on correlation/fail-over. |
| CloudHarmony, CloudStatus.io (AWS only), DownDetector | Consumer or single-vendor oriented | Not multi-vendor + incident drafting. |
Competitors prove: (a) companies pay (StatusGator pricing starts $29 → $299/mo), (b) churn isn’t fatal, (c) space is still small – only 2–3 true players.
