Why should I use this instead of 100s others paid and open-source alternatives?
Because using our hosted solution you don't have to care about the infra :)
That’s a naive assumption. I can go with any of your competitors (Datadog, Checkly, BetterStack) and not care about the infra
And mostly closed source :)
It's worth coming up with a stronger public-facing answer
We went through this last year, I think we have a public one, a private one, + our actual more 'serious' telemetry (opentelemetry, ...). For the status pages, I think one we don't pay for, and the other is like $20/yr.
It's a crowded space, both open + closed, so clearer differentiation seems useful for your users and for your own journey: https://github.com/ivbeg/awesome-status-pages
