StatusEntry

StatusEntry is a hosted status page and incident communication tool for businesses. Companies can publish current service status for public audiences and employees, send incident notifications, and display uptime history. Communication channels include email, webhooks, Slack, Twitter and a public status page. Teams can schedule maintenance, update it, notify subscribers and employees, and create a maintenance-impact incident for monitoring. An embeddable badge shows the latest status on hover and links to the public status page. The API supports listing, retrieving, creating, updating and deleting incidents; documented states run from investigating to resolved, with impact values from none to critical. Every listed pricing tier includes a subdomain with SSL. The free plan includes one user, two services and unlimited status updates, and can continue without a time limit after the trial. Paid plans start at $9.99 a month. The 30-day trial includes enterprise features, requires no credit card, and can be followed by the free package. The company describes its service as serving organizations from start-ups to enterprise-scale technology companies.

StatusEntry provides a hosted page, incident notifications and maintenance communication, with a free tier and a 30-day enterprise-feature trial. Teams needing a private status page should note that one is not offered.

StatusEntry may suit businesses that need to communicate service incidents and scheduled maintenance to employees, subscribers or the public. The company describes its audience as ranging from start-ups to enterprise-scale technology companies.

StatusEntry is a hosted status-page and incident-communication service for organizations that need a public source of service health. It suits small teams and growing SaaS operations that want broad notification channels, maintenance scheduling, and API control without an immediate bill. Its strongest proposition is the permanent free tier with unlimited updates; the main limitation is that privacy and capacity are constrained, especially at the bottom end.

Overview

StatusEntry combines a hosted public status page with incident notices, scheduled maintenance, and uptime history. Companies can communicate with customers through the page while using email, webhooks, Slack, and Twitter for subscriber and employee notifications. Because there is no private status page, organizations needing an access-controlled customer or internal portal should look elsewhere.

Every tier includes a subdomain protected by SSL, so a team can publish a secure page without arranging separate hosting. Custom domains are available on Business and Enterprise. The 30-day trial exposes enterprise features without requiring a credit card, then allows continued use of the free package indefinitely.

Key features

Incident and maintenance communication

Teams can create, revise, and distribute incident updates, while scheduled maintenance can notify subscribers and employees and automatically generate a maintenance-impact incident. That workflow ties planned work to the same monitoring narrative as outages. The incident API supports listing, retrieving, creating, updating, and deleting incidents, with investigating, identified, monitoring, and resolved states and none, minor, major, and critical impact levels. API access is included in Startup, Business, and Enterprise, making automation a paid-plan capability rather than a free-tier one.

Channels, history, and badge

Email, webhook, Slack, Twitter, and the public page cover both conventional and integration-driven alerts. An embeddable status badge displays the latest state on hover and links to the public page; green, orange, red, and blue distinguish operational, minor outage, major outage, and maintenance states. Uptime graphs help prospective customers assess reliability, while page customization gives the hosted page a more branded presentation.

Pricing

StatusEntry uses a freemium structure. Free costs nothing and permits one user, two services, unlimited status updates, a public page, uptime graph, customization, and an SSL subdomain. It is a sensible permanent home for a small product, but the single-user and two-service caps quickly constrain teams with multiple owners or products.

Startup is $9.99 per month, billed monthly, with 10 users, 10 services, unlimited updates, a public page, uptime graph, customization, SSL subdomain, API access, and up to 1,000 email or webhook subscribers. It expands collaboration and service coverage at a modest price, though it still lacks the larger subscriber allowance and custom domain associated with higher tiers.

Business costs $19.99 per month, billed monthly, and raises capacity to 25 users and 25 services, adds 5,000 subscribers, Slack integrations, API access, and a custom domain. It fits established teams that need recognizable branding and materially larger audiences. Enterprise is $39.99 per month, billed monthly, with unlimited users and services, 50,000 subscribers, Slack integrations, API access, and a custom domain. That is the clearest choice for broad organizational use, though a private page remains unavailable. The trial lasts 30 days and then can continue on Free without a time limit.

Platforms

StatusEntry is offered through the web and an API. The API is part of Startup, Business, and Enterprise plans.

Who it's for

Startups can keep a public page running indefinitely on Free, while teams with several operators or services should consider Startup. Business suits companies communicating with thousands of subscribers and wanting a custom domain; Enterprise is aimed at organizations requiring unlimited users and services. It is not a good fit for teams whose primary requirement is a private status page.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Unlimited updates on every plan support frequent incident and maintenance communication.
• Pro: A no-time-limit free tier, SSL subdomain, and 30-day no-card enterprise trial lower the barrier to adoption.
• Pro: Email, webhook, Slack, and Twitter channels plus employee-facing integrations cover public and internal notifications.
• Con: Free is limited to one user and two services, making it unsuitable for larger ownership structures.
• Con: Custom domains are restricted to Business and Enterprise, and private status pages are not offered at all.

Alternatives

Status Page Software is the broader directory to consult when comparing status-page tools. Choose StatusIQ instead if Android or iOS access and a free allowance of 10 components and 100 subscribers matter more than StatusEntry's unlimited updates. Spectate is an alternative for teams focused on monitor or server counts, with a five-monitor Hobby plan and a $12-per-month Solo plan. Pick Spike.sh when paid on-call alerting, phone and SMS quotas, and schedules are the priority rather than a hosted status-page workflow. UpCanary favors monitoring-oriented setups, including five service monitors on its free Basic plan. AppStatus is worth considering for broader infrastructure coverage such as agents, heartbeats, and Kubernetes in its free plan. Flashduty Status Page offers a free five-user collaboration tier and self-hosted availability. Instatus is an option when free monitoring includes 15 monitors and five team members. openstatus suits teams seeking self-hosted and desktop-platform support alongside a one-monitor free plan.

Verdict

StatusEntry is a strong choice for a small or growing service that needs a public status page, scheduled maintenance, multi-channel notifications, and API-driven incidents while keeping costs at zero initially. Choose Startup or Business as user, service, subscriber, and branding needs grow. Look elsewhere if a private status page, extensive free-tier capacity, or a monitoring-first product is essential.
