Choosing a plan

What Starter, Professional, and Enterprise include, and how annual billing and upgrades/downgrades work.

Updated 2026-06-12

Status has three plans, all billed annually — there's no monthly option. Annual billing keeps the price per check lower and means one invoice a year instead of twelve. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.

What differs between plans

Each plan is defined by a set of entitlements — limits and feature flags that apply immediately when you subscribe or change plans:

  • Checks — how many checks you can run at once.
  • Regions per check — how many distinct probe regions a single check can use.
  • Confirmations — the maximum number of regions you can require to agree before an incident opens (see How multi-region confirmation works).
  • Check interval — the fastest interval a check can run on.
  • Alert channels — how many email and webhook channels you can create, and how many can attach to a single check.
  • Status pages — how many public status pages you can run, whether you can use a custom domain, and how many subscribers each page can have.
  • API access — whether the public API is available and how many API keys you can create.
  • Reports — monthly CSV reports are included on every plan; PDF export is an Enterprise feature.

Exact numbers are shown on the pricing page and update automatically if plans change.

Upgrading

An upgrade takes effect immediately — the higher plan's limits are available right away, and you're charged a prorated amount for the remainder of your current billing period.

Downgrading

A downgrade takes effect at the end of your current billing period, not immediately. Before it applies, you can see exactly what would need to change (for example, "12 checks / 5 allowed") and adjust ahead of time. If you're still over a limit when the downgrade takes effect, nothing is deleted — extra checks are paused (newest first) and extra alert channels are disabled, and you're emailed the list so you can decide what to keep.

Trial expiry

If a trial ends without a subscription, checks are paused and the dashboard switches to a read-only banner. Your configuration is retained for 30 days in case you decide to subscribe.
