Where Atlassian Statuspage is stronger

  • The standard way to host a branded status page and post incident updates to your own users.
  • Components, subscribers, and incident templates.
  • Deep Atlassian/Jira integration.

Where Outage Observer is different

  • Opposite direction: we don't publish your status — we read other companies' status pages (many of which are hosted on Statuspage) and alert you when they have an incident.
  • Free, no account.
  • If you depend on providers that publish on Statuspage, we watch all of them for you in one place.

Which should you use?

Choose Atlassian Statuspage to publish and run your own status page.

Choose Outage Observer to be notified when the services you rely on — including ones that use Statuspage — go down.
