Fast, cheap hosted status pages.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the dev tools job, so this one still earns its $20/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Codegen can scaffold a status page in minutes. OpenAI, January 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 1 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Better Stack.
- What the call is worth $240/yr
- $20/mo at the entry paid tier — $240 a year per seat.

The backstory
You can absolutely have Claude build you a status page. You cannot have it host that page somewhere your own outage will not take down too, which is the entire point. Instatus wins on being independent infrastructure plus a flat price against per-subscriber billing.
