Monitoring + status pages in one tool

Instatus requires a separate monitoring tool. FiveNines monitors your services AND publishes a status page - from the same platform, with the same subscription.

Automatic incident updates

When a workflow detects an outage, your status page updates automatically. No manual toggling between your monitoring tool and Instatus.

No separate monitoring subscription

With Instatus you still need UptimeRobot or Datadog for the monitoring itself. FiveNines replaces both tools with one platform starting at free.

Why teams switch from Instatus

Instatus is a status page, not a monitoring tool. You still need UptimeRobot, Datadog, or something else to detect outages, then manually update Instatus when things break. FiveNines monitors your services, creates incidents automatically, and updates your status page. One platform, one subscription, zero manual toggling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I choose FiveNines over Instatus?
Instatus is a status page tool that requires separate monitoring. FiveNines combines monitoring, alerting, and status pages in one platform. When a service goes down, your status page updates automatically.
Does FiveNines have the same status page customization as Instatus?
FiveNines offers custom domains, monitor grouping, and branded pages. Instatus offers more design customization options. FiveNines focuses on automated updates from monitoring data rather than manual design control.
Can I use both Instatus and FiveNines?
You could, but there's limited reason to. FiveNines includes status pages that update automatically from your monitoring. Using Instatus separately means maintaining two systems and manually syncing status.
