StatusCake alternative
StatusCake is affordable and generous on the free plan. The main difference: StatusCake sells status pages as a separate product, while m0nitor includes public status pages in the plan from day one and treats monitoring, incidents and status as one model.
StatusCake tiers status pages as a separate product; m0nitor includes a public status page from the free plan.
Monitors, incidents and status live together, so an outage flows into an incident and onto your status page without extra wiring.

Where StatusCake is stronger: it is inexpensive, explicitly allows commercial use on its free plan, offers more team seats for free and exposes a broad set of monitor types on free. If free team size or the lowest paid price is your deciding factor, StatusCake is very competitive.
Yes. One public status page is included on the free plan, rather than sold as a separate product.
The free plan has no separate non-commercial clause; check the current terms for your use. StatusCake also permits commercial use on free.
One on the free plan. StatusCake offers more free seats; larger teams are a paid feature on m0nitor.
