# Status Page Comparison
> In-depth comparison of Flashduty Status Page vs Atlassian Statuspage: more features, lower price, easier migration
## Introduction
***
A **status page** is a critical bridge for building service transparency and trust between businesses and their users. When service disruptions or planned maintenance occur, a clear, timely, and subscribable status page significantly reduces customer anxiety, cuts down on support tickets, and demonstrates professional incident communication.
Flashduty Status Page and Atlassian Statuspage are two leading status page products, but they have a **fundamentally different positioning**:
Part of the incident response system -- status pages, subscriptions, incidents, maintenance, historical statistics, and internal notifications tightly integrated, **included in the On-call module at no extra cost**
A standalone status communication page -- feature-rich but **billed as a separate product**, with full capabilities requiring higher-tier plans
***
## Why Choose a Third-Party Status Page?
***
Before evaluating specific products, there's a more fundamental question to answer: **should you build your own status page or use a third-party service?**
The biggest problem with a self-built status page is that it **shares infrastructure with your business services**. When your services go down, your self-built status page is likely to go down with them -- precisely when you need it most.
Additionally, building your own means:
* Implementing subscription notifications, email delivery, and availability statistics from scratch
* Ongoing engineering effort for maintenance and iteration
* Difficulty ensuring email deliverability and notification timeliness
A professional third-party status page runs on **infrastructure independent from your business**, ensuring it stays up even when your services are down. This is the core value of a status page -- **remaining available during outages**.
Third-party services also provide:
* Out-of-the-box subscription management, push notifications, and availability statistics
* Professional email delivery infrastructure and multi-channel notifications
* Continuous feature iteration with no maintenance burden on your team

### Cost Comparison Example
For a typical scenario requiring a public status page + internal status page, 1,000 subscribers, and 10 components:
| Cost Item | Flashduty | Atlassian Statuspage |
| --------------------------- | -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Public Status Page** | Included in On-call | Startup plan from \$99/month; 1,000 subscribers requires Business plan |
| **Internal Status Page** | Included in On-call Professional | Audience-specific is a separate product, starting at \$300/month |
| **Annual Status Page Cost** | **\$0 (additional)** | **\~$4,800–$8,400+/year** (Public Business + Audience-specific) |
