About
Instatus is a status page and incident management service that lets teams monitor services, coordinate incident response, and publish service status updates for customers. The pricing page lists Starter as a free plan with 15 monitors, 2 minute checks, email alerts, 5 team members, 2 on-call members, a public status page, no custom domain, and 200 subscribers.
The free offering is a perpetual Starter plan rather than a time-limited trial. It is suitable for teams that need basic uptime monitoring and a public status page, with higher limits and additional alerting options available on paid plans.
- 15 monitors on the free plan
- 2 minute check interval

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a genuinely usable starter plan: it includes 15 monitors, 2-minute checks, email alerts, a public status page, and small-team limits, but it stays below the paid Pro plan’s 50 monitors and faster 30-second checks. Since the cheapest paid plan is Pro and the page shows the free plan as free forever with no credit card required, a buyer would likely value the free tier at about $3/month, roughly a quarter to a third of Pro’s practical value.
