Quackback vs Statuspage: the full picture
Statuspage is the default choice for status pages, and it does the job well. You post incidents and maintenance, subscribers hear by email, SMS, Slack, Teams or webhook, and it fits neatly beside Jira Service Management and Opsgenie. The price follows subscribers: free for 100, then $29 to $1,499 a month for public pages, with private and audience-specific pages sold as separate products.
Quackback's status page comes with every plan. Components, incidents, scheduled maintenance, 90 days of uptime history, subscriber emails and an RSS feed sit on your portal, beside your help center, support inbox and feedback boards. When a customer asks in chat whether something is down, Quackback AI checks the live status before it answers.
Neither tool watches your services for you. Statuspage expects you to connect a monitoring tool, and so does Quackback: status is set by hand or through the API, so your monitor updates components when a check fails. If you want checks built in, look at a tool such as Instatus.
Be clear about the gaps. Quackback subscribers hear by email and in the portal, with no SMS, Slack or Teams subscriptions, and Quackback has fewer components on its lower plans. Statuspage has a longer track record and Atlassian's integrations.

Common questions
Is Quackback a good Statuspage alternative?
For teams that update status by hand or from a monitoring tool and email their subscribers, yes. Quackback has components, incidents, scheduled maintenance, uptime history, subscriber emails, an RSS feed and a Status API, on every plan. If your subscribers rely on SMS, Slack or Teams alerts, Statuspage covers those channels and Quackback doesn't.
Does Quackback monitor my uptime?
No. Quackback doesn't run its own checks. Status is set by hand or through the API, and uptime history comes from your component history. To automate it, have your monitoring tool update components through the Status API. Statuspage works the same way.
How much does Statuspage cost compared with Quackback?
Statuspage is free for 100 subscribers, then $29, $99, $399 or $1,499 a month for a public page. Private pages start at $79 a month and audience-specific pages at $300. Quackback includes a status page on every plan. Paid plans start at $29/mo, billed annually, with a help center, support inbox and feedback boards in the same price.
Can I make the status page private?
Yes, on Quackback Enterprise. Limit the page to signed-in customers or chosen segments, and show each segment only the components it uses. Self-hosted Quackback includes every feature.
Can I move my Statuspage subscribers?
Email subscribers, yes: export them from Statuspage and import them into Quackback as a CSV. Recreate your components, point your monitoring tool at Quackback's Status API and move your domain. Past incidents stay in Statuspage.
