Tower vs Atlassian Statuspage
Statuspage is a status page. Tower is a status page attached to the thing that already knows your service is down — which is the whole difference in what you pay and what you have to wire up.
One of these does not know whether your service is up
Statuspage is a very good status page. It is also, deliberately, only that: it displays the state you tell it, through its interface or its API. Something else has to notice the outage, and something else has to tell it.
Tower is the public face of monitoring you are already running. You pick which of your checks appear as components and name each one for your audience — publish "API", not "prod-api-lb-healthz" — and each shows live state plus ninety days of history, driven by the same probes that page you. Nothing else about a check is exposed: not its URL, not its internal name, not why it is paused.
What that does to the price
Their Hobby plan is 29$/month for the page. Our Pro plan is 29€/month for the page and a hundred monitored checks at a thirty-second interval, which is what makes the page say anything. Compare totals rather than line items: with Statuspage you are still buying monitoring somewhere else.
Where they win on price is the custom domain — theirs is on the 29$ plan, ours is on Business at
79€. If serving the page from status.yourcompany.com is the requirement and you have
monitoring already, that is a real gap and the table below shows it.
Incidents that start themselves and still wait for you
When a component goes down, Tower drafts the incident: names what is affected and opens its timeline. The draft is private. Nothing automation writes is visible to your visitors until you publish it, and the words are yours to edit first — because the worst possible status page is one that publishes a confident wrong sentence during an outage.
Incidents also work over the API with an organization key, so the deploy job that already knows it failed can declare one. Page configuration — slug, components, custom domain — stays session-only, so a leaked key can narrate an outage but cannot repoint your public address.
Where the page is hosted
France, on Scaleway in the fr-par region. We make no claim about where Statuspage hosts its data, because their pricing page does not say. Security & data →

Atlassian Statuspage plans and prices read from their pricing page on 20 August 2026, in the currency they publish and with no conversion applied. Their plans change; check before relying on this. Ours are on our own pricing page.
Statuspage can notify your customers, and Tower cannot
Subscribers are the primitive their whole product is built on: people sign up to your page and get emailed, texted or webhooked when you post an incident, from a hundred of them on the free plan upward. Tower has nothing equivalent — it shows the current state and ninety days of history to whoever visits. If your customers expect to be told rather than to look, that is a real gap and you should weigh it.
Who should not switch
If your customers subscribe to your status page and expect to be emailed, stay — Tower has no subscribers. If you live in Jira and want incidents to flow through it, they own that integration and we do not. If you need custom HTML and JavaScript on the page, we offer a light or dark theme and that is all.
Tower is for the case where you want a status page because you already monitor things, and would rather not run and pay for two products to get one page. More about Tower →
