What you give up vs Statuspage
- Status page only; it does NOT actively monitor your services (you must push incidents via API or integrate a monitor)
- No built-in synthetic checks like Pingdom/UptimeRobot
- The v3 rewrite went through long periods of slow development and reorganization
- Fewer polished integrations and subscriber-tier features than Atlassian Statuspage
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Cachet on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Statuspage: subscriber-based pricing).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (BSD-3-Clause).
