How to choose

Should the page update itself?: A page that is changed by hand is changed late — usually while you are fixing the problem. Tools with monitoring built in change the page the moment a check fails.
Your own domain?: status.yourcompany.com looks like part of your product and keeps your links yours. Most tools charge for it.
How many subscribers?: Many tools cap subscribers per plan. If your customers sign up for updates, check the limit before you grow into it.
A private page for your team?: A page only your team or one customer can see is often a plan of its own. Check where it starts.
What else do you look after?: If you also manage domains, DNS, certificates or servers, a tool that handles those too lets you fix what the page is reporting.
