Bottom line
If your company has a dedicated ops team, uses Jira, and needs SSO — Statuspage.io is the right tool. If you're a solo founder or small team, you're paying 3× for features you'll never touch, and still need to bolt on a separate monitoring tool. StillUp ships monitoring + status page in one product, free to start.
