# SiteGuardian vs Statuspage (2026)

> SiteGuardian vs Statuspage. Statuspage is Atlassian’s mature status-page SaaS — the most configurable public status surface in the category, with custom domain, branding, scheduled maintenance, incident templates, post-mortem, and Atlassian Guard SSO on paid. Statuspage does not run probes, does not crawl your site for broken links, does not watch your checkout, and does not ship SSL expiry alerts. SiteGuardian ships uptime, SSL expiry, broken-link coverage, checkout-failure monitoring, and form-failure monitoring on every paid plan, in one loud email.

## TL;DR
- SiteGuardian wins for the watch; Statuspage wins for the public status surface.

- When Statuspage: you have an existing monitor and need the most configurable public status surface in the category — custom domain, branding, scheduled maintenance, incident templates, post-mortem, Atlassian Guard SSO, and audience-specific pages.
- When SiteGuardian: you have a storefront, a URL list, and a checkout or form that you want watched from the outside — uptime, SSL expiry, broken-link coverage, checkout-failure monitoring, form-failure monitoring — in one loud email.

## Buying-time FAQ
- Q: Is Statuspage a status page or a monitor?
  A: A status page. Statuspage is the most mature configurable public status surface in the category — public + private + audience-specific pages, custom domain, branding, Email/SMS/Webhook/Slack/Microsoft Teams subscribers, component-level status, scheduled maintenance, incident templates, post-mortem, Atlassian Guard SSO on Startup+, role-based access control on Business+, audit/activity log, REST API on every tier.
- Q: Does Statuspage run probes?
  A: No. Statuspage is a status-page SaaS — it does not run a probe engine of its own. Statuspage integrates with Pingdom, Datadog, New Relic, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Squadcast, FireHydrant, and other monitors via API. SiteGuardian ships its own probe engine — every-minute cadence on Pro, every-five-minute on Starter and Lifetime.
- Q: What does SiteGuardian add on top of Statuspage?
  A: The monitor. Statuspage gives you the most configurable public status surface in the category, but it does not watch your site from the outside for uptime, SSL expiry, broken links on the URL list, checkout failures, or form failures. SiteGuardian ships all five in one product, with one loud email per outage.
- Q: Which is cheaper for a small shop?
  A: Statuspage Free is $0/mo and is the cheapest entry point if the buy is a public status surface — 100 subscribers, 25 components, REST API access. Statuspage Hobby is $29/mo and adds 250 subscribers and a custom domain. SiteGuardian Starter is $19/mo and ships one site, ten URLs, every-five-minute probes, plus SSL expiry, broken-link coverage, checkout-failure monitoring, and form-failure monitoring in the same inbox.
- Q: Does Statuspage monitor checkout failures?
  A: No. Statuspage is a status-page SaaS — it does not run a probe engine, does not ship a checkout-path probe. Statuspage will display the status of a checkout component if you have wired it to a monitor that emits a component-status update via API; Statuspage itself does not detect checkout failures.
- Q: Does Statuspage ship SSL expiry alerts?
  A: No. Statuspage does not ship SSL expiry alerts on any tier (Free, Hobby, Startup, Business, or Enterprise). SSL is included free on all plans for the status page itself, but Statuspage does not watch your domain’s certificate. SiteGuardian ships SSL expiry monitoring on every paid plan, included — no add-on.
- Q: Does Statuspage integrate with Atlassian Access?
  A: Atlassian Guard SSO is included on Startup, Business, and Enterprise plans at no additional charge for Statuspage team members, per the pricing page FAQ.
- Q: Can I run both Statuspage and SiteGuardian together?
  A: Yes — and the realistic pairing is exactly that. SiteGuardian watches your URLs from the outside and emails you in one inbox when something breaks. Statuspage Free or Hobby gives you the public-facing status surface.
