Status pages

A status page has one job: answer "is it you or me?" before the customer opens a support ticket. Done well, it cuts inbound support during incidents dramatically and turns downtime — the worst moment in your customer relationship — into a demonstration of competence.

Most teams bolt a status page on as a separate product with its own subscription, its own incident workflow, and a human in the loop who has to remember to update it mid-outage. FourSight takes the opposite approach: the status page is a rendering of your actual monitoring. The same 4-region quorum checks that page your on-call also flip the public component status, so the page is exactly as current as your monitoring — always.

Don't take the claim on faith: our own demo page at /status/demo is a live FourSight status page monitoring real endpoints. What you see there is what your customers would see.

Because most status pages are manual. When an outage starts, the engineer who could update the page is the same engineer debugging the outage — so the page says "All Systems Operational" for the first forty minutes while Twitter and the support queue say otherwise. That gap is precisely when customer trust is decided, and a stale page is worse than no page: it reads as either ignorance or dishonesty.

A monitor-driven page removes the human from the critical path. FourSight opens an incident when a quorum of probe regions confirms the failure, the affected component flips on the public page within the same cycle, and the incident timeline accumulates automatically. You can still post human context — what's happening, what you're doing about it — but the factual state of the system never waits on anyone's keyboard.

Each page is composed of components mapped to your monitors, with current state, uptime history, incident timeline, and maintenance visibility built in.

Yes — one public status page is included on the Free plan, which also allows commercial use. That combination is deliberately rare in this market: most vendors either gate status pages behind paid tiers or sell them as an entirely separate product. A side project, an early-stage startup, or a freelancer with production clients can run a real, monitor-driven public status page at zero cost.

As you grow, the ladder grows with you — more pages, then customization, then white-label:

Status pages by plan (see /pricing for full plan details)

Plan	Status pages	Customization
Free ($0)	1	Standard FourSight page
Starter ($16/mo)	2	Standard FourSight page
Growth ($40/mo)	5	Standard FourSight page
Pro ($80/mo)	10	Custom CSS
Scale ($160/mo)	25	Custom domains + white-label

Visitors to your status page can subscribe to updates. When an incident opens, updates, or resolves — or a maintenance window is scheduled — subscribers are notified automatically. That flips the support dynamic during an outage: instead of a thousand customers individually discovering the problem and emailing you, they hear about it from you first, along with the fact that you're already on it.

The subscriber list is a trust asset with one rule: never use it for marketing. FourSight status page notifications are operational only — incidents and maintenance — which is exactly why customers stay subscribed.

Dedicated products like Atlassian Statuspage or Instatus are more customizable at the top end, and if you need a deeply branded, marketing-grade status site with no monitoring attached, they're reasonable choices. But they don't monitor anything — you still need a separate uptime monitor, plus the integration between the two, plus the second subscription. Statuspage in particular gets expensive quickly as subscriber counts grow.

FourSight's bet is that the monitoring is the status page. One product, one incident pipeline, one bill — and the page can never disagree with the monitoring because they're the same system. For the large majority of SaaS teams, agencies, and API businesses, that's both cheaper and more honest.
