The best status page aggregators in 2026

A status page aggregator watches your vendors' official status pages — AWS, Cloudflare, OpenAI, and the rest of your stack — and alerts your team the moment one of them reports a problem. Three tools define the category today: OutageDeck, IsDown, and StatusGator. This guide compares them honestly, including where the other two are the better pick.

Disclosure: this guide is published by OutageDeck. Competitor facts were verified against their public pricing pages as of July 2026 and are linked so you can re-check them.

First, make sure an aggregator is what you need

Three adjacent categories get mixed up constantly. Uptime monitors (UptimeRobot, Pingdom) probe your own sites from outside and page you when your site is down. Status page hosting (Atlassian Statuspage, Instatus, BetterStack) publishes a status page about your service for your customers. Status page aggregators — this page — watch other companies' status pages so you know when a vendor you depend on is the reason things are breaking. If you need to know "is AWS down or is it us?", you want an aggregator.

The shortlist

The three tools worth evaluating

Each profile lists real strengths and real trade-offs — the fastest way to pick is to match your vendor list and budget against them.

OutageDeck

That's us

OutageDeck tracks 96 major cloud and SaaS vendors from their official status feeds, checked about every 10 minutes, and turns changes into email, Slack, Discord, and webhook alerts. Everything is public by default: per-vendor status pages with independent 90-day uptime history, incident timelines, an anonymous JSON API, embeddable badges, and RSS.

Strengths

  • Free tier you can actually operate on: email alerts for 5 providers, no notification cap
  • Flat $19/mo entry plan with unlimited providers — vendors are never counted as monitors
  • Open JSON API, badges, and RSS without an account
  • Official sources only, linked from every page — no crowd-noise false positives

Trade-offs

  • Curated catalog of 96 major vendors, not thousands of long-tail services
  • Alerts fire when the official feed changes — no crowdsourced pre-acknowledgment signal
  • No hosted private status boards yet

Best for: solo developers and small teams whose stack is the major clouds and SaaS tools, and anyone who wants status data as an API. OutageDeck pricing

IsDown

The biggest catalog in the category — 6,000+ services — now part of UptimeRobot. IsDown layers crowdsourced problem reports on top of official status pages, so it can often flag an outage before the vendor acknowledges it.

Strengths

  • 6,000+ tracked services covers long-tail vendors most aggregators miss
  • Crowdsourced early detection, plus its own reporting on incidents vendors never acknowledged
  • Native integrations with incident tooling (PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Datadog, ServiceNow) on higher tiers
  • Hosted public and private status pages for stakeholders

Trade-offs

  • No permanent free plan — a 14-day trial, then from $27/mo for 15 monitors
  • Pricing scales with monitor count: watching 150 vendors is the $179/mo tier
  • Crowd signals trade some precision for speed — early reports are not official confirmations

Best for: Teams that need maximum vendor coverage, incident-management integrations, and the earliest possible signal. IsDown pricing

StatusGator

The longest-running aggregator, tracking 3,600+ services with aggregated status boards teams can share. Popular with IT departments and education, and it folds your own websites into the same board.

Strengths

  • A decade of operating history and 3,600+ tracked services
  • Aggregated status boards built for sharing with a whole organization
  • Combines vendor status with monitoring of your own sites at 1-minute intervals
  • Permanent free plan exists (3 monitors)

Trade-offs

  • The free plan caps notifications at 10 per month — enough to evaluate, not to operate on
  • Entry pricing starts at $79/mo for 25 monitors; 150 monitors is the $299/mo tier
  • Status boards and history depth are gated by plan

Best for: IT teams and organizations that want a shared vendor status board, with their own sites monitored alongside. StatusGator pricing

How to choose in five minutes

  • Check catalog coverage first. Open each tool's directory and search for your five most critical vendors. A missing critical vendor disqualifies a tool no matter how good the rest is — OutageDeck's directory is public, so that check takes a minute.
  • Count what you will watch. Per-monitor pricing compounds: 100 vendors is $179–299/mo on per-monitor tools and $19/mo flat here.
  • Decide how early you need the signal. Official feeds are precise but can lag real impact; crowdsourced detection is earlier but noisier. Pick the trade-off that matches your on-call culture.
  • Start with the free option. Watching your stack free for two weeks tells you more than any comparison page — including this one.

FAQ

Status page aggregator questions

The category in three answers.

What is a status page aggregator?

A tool that watches the official status pages of the vendors you depend on — cloud platforms, APIs, SaaS tools — and gives you one combined view plus alerts when any of them reports a problem. Instead of your team checking twenty status pages during an incident, the aggregator checks them continuously and tells you which vendor broke.

How is that different from uptime monitoring like UptimeRobot or Pingdom?

Uptime monitors probe your own websites and endpoints from the outside. Status page aggregators watch other companies' official status feeds. They answer different questions: "is my site up?" versus "is the vendor my site depends on having an outage?". Many teams run both.

Are there free status page aggregators?

OutageDeck's free tier includes real-time email alerts for up to 5 providers with no monthly notification cap, plus a public JSON API. StatusGator has a free plan limited to 3 monitors and 10 notifications per month. IsDown offers a 14-day trial rather than a permanent free plan.
