Atlassian Statuspage vs OneUptime: which fits your status page needs
If your renewal or a subscriber pricing change has forced a review, the short answer is this: Atlassian Statuspage fits teams that want a managed status page with minimal operating work, while OneUptime fits teams that want status pages together with incident management and on-call in infrastructure they run themselves. Statuspage keeps the hosting, delivery and upkeep with Atlassian. OneUptime moves those tasks to you, which is the trade you need to evaluate before committing. The decision turns on four questions: where status and incident data may be hosted, how much incident and on-call tooling you actually need, how much operating capacity your platform or SRE team can spare, and whether you need Enterprise Edition features such as SCIM provisioning or data residency.
Start with hosting. If your policy requires status and incident records to stay inside your own cloud account, data center or network, self-hosting is the direct route. OneUptime's Community Edition is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, with the ee/ directory under the OneUptime Enterprise License, so confirm with your legal team which directories your deployment includes. Next, map your current Statuspage usage: public and private pages, components, subscribers and whether incidents are managed in a separate tool. OneUptime's Community Edition includes branded public and private status pages with incident history, scheduled maintenance and subscriber notifications, and it also covers incident management from declaring through post-mortems and on-call schedules with escalation policies. If you already run a separate paging tool, you may only need the status page half, and Uptime Kuma is a comparison you should weigh as well through the sibling topic.
Then assess operating capacity honestly. OneUptime self-hosts with Docker Compose on a single Debian, Ubuntu or RHEL server, or with a Helm chart that the project recommends for production. Someone must own upgrades, backups, certificates, email and SMS delivery, and the uptime of the status page itself, which should not depend on the systems it reports on. For SSO, Community Edition includes SAML and OIDC, while SCIM provisioning, audit logs, compliance and instance health dashboards, priority support and data residency are Enterprise Edition items priced through sales, so request that quote in writing and confirm each feature against the current release notes before you rely on it.
Which option fits which scenario
This table maps common situations to the option that fits best, with the condition that drives each choice. Read each row against your own constraints, since the answer often depends on who needs the page, where data must live and how much platform operations capacity you have.
| Scenario | Better fit | Condition that drives the choice |
|---|---|---|
| Public status page only, no internal audience | Atlassian Statuspage or self-hosted OneUptime | Statuspage is a hosted service with no infrastructure to run. OneUptime fits if you want the page on your own servers and can accept operating it. |
| Private pages for employees behind single sign-on | Self-hosted OneUptime | OneUptime's Community Edition includes SAML and OIDC single sign-on and private status pages. Confirm the access model you need against the current release. |
| Incident data must stay in your own cloud account | Self-hosted OneUptime | Self-hosting keeps incident history and subscriber records in infrastructure you control. Data residency controls are listed in the Enterprise Edition, so confirm whether your requirement needs it. |
| One tool for status pages, incident management and on-call | Self-hosted OneUptime | OneUptime covers incident declaration, communication, post-mortems, on-call schedules and escalation policies in one product. Check whether its on-call alert channels match your paging process. |
| Status page only, with monitoring handled elsewhere | Atlassian Statuspage or Uptime Kuma | Statuspage does not run your checks, so you still need a monitoring source. Uptime Kuma is a lighter option if you want monitoring and a status page together. |
| No platform operations capacity | Atlassian Statuspage | Self-hosting OneUptime means someone owns upgrades, backups and availability. If no one on the team can take that on, a hosted service removes that work. |
| Status page must stay up during an outage of your own infrastructure | Hosted Statuspage or a status page hosted outside the monitored environment | A status page hosted inside the system that fails cannot report that failure. Confirm where you would host OneUptime relative to the systems you monitor. |
Where your status and incident data lives
Statuspage keeps your components, incident history and subscriber lists in Atlassian's hosted service, while OneUptime can run inside your own infrastructure. The four cards below cover where that data sits, how a self-hosted OneUptime is deployed, how sign-in works, and what compliance work stays with your team.
Hosted data on the Statuspage side
Statuspage stores components, incident timelines, subscriber email addresses and phone numbers in Atlassian's hosted service, so the data location and the sub-processors involved are set by Atlassian's terms rather than by your team. Before a move, export the list of subscribers and confirm with your legal and privacy teams which contact details are personal data and where they must remain. Ask Atlassian to confirm the current data location and sub-processor list for your plan.
Self-hosting OneUptime with Docker Compose
A small or mid-sized deployment can run on one Debian, Ubuntu or RHEL server using Docker Compose, which keeps status pages, incident records and subscriber data on hardware you control. For production, the project recommends its Helm chart. Plan who patches the host, who manages backups of the database, and where the server sits relative to the systems it reports on, so a single outage does not hide its own status page.
Single sign-on with SAML and OIDC
OneUptime Community Edition includes SAML and OIDC single sign-on, so staff can sign in through your existing identity provider instead of local accounts. Confirm that your provider's SAML or OIDC settings match the configuration OneUptime expects, and decide how deprovisioning will work. SCIM user provisioning and audit logs are part of the Enterprise Edition, so the Community Edition needs a manual offboarding step.
Compliance evidence your team owns
Moving status and incident data changes which controls you must document, including access reviews, backup and restore records, change logs and data retention. DeployOpen can plan, configure and document the controls and collect the evidence that an assessor will ask for. DeployOpen does not issue audit reports or certifications, and an independent auditor or certification body makes that determination. Ask your assessor early which controls apply to a self-hosted status tool.
What OneUptime Enterprise Edition adds and when it matters
OneUptime's Community Edition is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, with one exception: the ee/ directory, which is governed by the OneUptime Enterprise License. The practical point for a Statuspage replacement is that the status pages, incident history, scheduled maintenance, subscriber notifications, SAML and OIDC single sign-on you need for public and internal pages sit in the Community code, so a pilot does not require a commercial agreement. Before you plan around the split, open the repository and confirm which directories and features fall under each license, because edition boundaries can change between releases and this page does not replace the project's own terms.
The Enterprise Edition adds SCIM provisioning, audit logs, compliance and instance health dashboards, priority support and data residency. Each of these is priced through sales, so none of them carries a published figure here. They matter under specific conditions. SCIM matters if your identity provider must create and deprovision the people who can manage or subscribe to pages, because manual account lifecycle becomes a risk as staff change. Audit logs matter if an assessor will ask who changed a status page or incident record and when. Data residency matters if incident and subscriber data must stay in a named region. Priority support matters if your status page must be reliable during a major outage, and you should ask what response commitments, if any, are written into the quote.
If none of those conditions applies to you, the Community Edition may cover your requirements, and you can revisit the decision later. If one applies, make it a line item in the written scope and ask the vendor, in writing, which specific features are included, whether they run in your own deployment, and what recurring license terms apply. Ask how SCIM is configured with your identity provider and whether audit log retention can be exported to your SIEM. An illustrative example: a bank that must show a regulator who edited a customer-facing outage notice would need audit logs confirmed in writing before the migration starts, not after.
What drives the cost of Statuspage and self-hosted OneUptime
Statuspage is a subscription that recurs and scales with plan, subscribers and team members. Self-hosted OneUptime shifts cost into infrastructure, delivery services and staff time, and most of those costs recur as well. The cards below separate one-time migration work from recurring operating costs so you can build a like-for-like comparison from your own quote.
Statuspage plan and page type
Statuspage is billed as a subscription by plan, with limits tied to subscribers, team members and page types such as public, private and audience-specific pages. Those limits recur every billing period and grow as your subscriber base grows. Before comparing, list your current plan tier, subscriber count, seats and the number of pages you run, then confirm with Atlassian which of those would change at renewal.
Server or Kubernetes infrastructure
OneUptime runs on a single Debian, Ubuntu or RHEL server with Docker Compose, or on Kubernetes with the Helm chart the project recommends for production. Compute, storage and network are recurring costs whether you run them in your cloud account or your own data center. A status page must stay reachable during an outage, so ask whether the status page runs in the same failure domain as the systems it reports on.
Backups and restore testing
Incident history, subscriber lists, scheduled maintenance and monitoring configuration live in the OneUptime data store, so backup storage and restore tests are recurring line items. Backup frequency, retention and off-site copies determine the storage bill. The one-time part is designing the restore procedure and proving it works, which you should confirm with the team that will own it.
Upgrades and patching
OneUptime publishes new releases on GitHub, and the latest supplied release is 14.0.70, published on October 18, 2026. Each upgrade needs staging time, configuration review and a rollback plan, which recurs with every release cycle. Statuspage upgrades are handled by Atlassian, so this cost moves to your team when you self-host.
SMS, phone and email delivery
OneUptime sends subscriber and on-call alerts by SMS, phone call, push, email and Slack. Your self-hosted instance does not include carrier delivery, so you pay the SMS, voice and email providers you connect, which bill per message or per minute in most markets. Subscriber volume, incident frequency and the number of countries you notify all change this line. Ask your provider for regional rates before you estimate it.
Staff time and Enterprise Edition
Operating OneUptime takes staff hours for monitoring setup, on-call rota maintenance, patching and status page content, and this effort recurs. OneUptime Enterprise Edition adds SCIM provisioning, audit logs, compliance dashboards, priority support and data residency, priced through sales. DeployOpen plans, implements and supports the deployment under a written fixed scope, and ongoing support is a retainer. Request quotes for each component separately so you can see which costs you keep and which you outsource.
What a move from Statuspage to OneUptime involves
The sequence takes a Statuspage setup from an inventory of pages and components to a self-hosted OneUptime instance that serves the same public and private pages, with subscribers and incident history carried over and DNS switched only after both pages have been checked side by side.
Inventory pages, components and subscribers
The status page owner lists every public and private page, each component and group, the custom domains in use, and the subscriber audiences for each page. Note which components map to real services and which are purely presentational. Confirm who holds the Statuspage admin role and who owns the DNS records. The step is complete when the team has a written list that another engineer could use to rebuild the setup without asking questions.
Stand up OneUptime in a test environment
The platform or SRE team installs OneUptime in a non-production environment using the Docker Compose path for a single server or the Helm chart that the project recommends for production. They configure SSO, a test status page under a staging hostname, and a test user set. Confirm the supported operating system and the current release in the official repository before installing. The step is complete when a test status page loads over TLS and a test incident can be created and published.
Export components, incidents and subscribers
An engineer pulls components, component groups, incident history, scheduled maintenance and subscriber lists through the Statuspage REST API. Requests must stay within Statuspage's documented rate limit, so the export script should throttle and retry rather than run in parallel. Store the raw exports in an encrypted location with access logging, because subscriber data is personal data. The step is complete when record counts in the exports match what the Statuspage admin console shows.
Re-create pages, components and branding
The team recreates each public and private page in OneUptime, mapping Statuspage components to OneUptime monitors or components and loading historical incidents with their timelines and updates. Logos, colors, footer text and custom domain settings are configured on the new pages. The owner of each page signs off on a side-by-side review. The step is complete when every page has an approved layout and every historical incident renders with its status changes in order.
Decide how subscriber notifications move
Legal, privacy and communications leads decide whether subscribers are re-invited to OneUptime or whether existing subscriptions are carried over. Only contacts who gave consent to the notifications, and whose consent can be shown from the export, should be imported. Subscribers from private or audience-specific pages should be handled under the same rule. Send a clear notice explaining the change and offering an opt-out. The step is complete when the import list contains only documented consent and the notice has been approved.
Run both pages in parallel
Statuspage and OneUptime run at the same time for a period set by the team. During this period, incidents are published to both pages, and the on-call or communications owner checks that notifications, component states and history match. Any mismatch is logged and fixed before cutover. Confirm that OneUptime's notification channels, including email and SMS providers, are configured with the team's own accounts. The step is complete when a set of test and live updates shows identical behavior on both pages.
Switch DNS and retire the old page
The DNS owner lowers the TTL on the status page records ahead of time, points the custom domains to OneUptime, and confirms that TLS certificates are valid on the new hostname. Once the new page is confirmed reachable from outside the network, Statuspage is set to read-only or removed according to the team's retention plan. Keep the Statuspage export as a record. The step is complete when the public hostname resolves to OneUptime, subscribers can reach the page, and the export archive is stored with a documented retention period.
Questions buyers ask before switching from Statuspage
What drives the cost of moving from Statuspage to OneUptime?
Cost depends mostly on who does the work and how many pages, components and subscribers you move. Statuspage is a recurring subscription priced by subscribers, team members and page type, so the comparison is between that recurring fee and your own infrastructure, staff time and delivery costs. OneUptime's Community Edition is Apache 2.0 licensed, so there is no license fee for it, but you pay for hosting, backups, email and SMS delivery, and upkeep. Ask any implementation partner for a quote that separates one-time migration work (export, rebuild, testing, cutover) from recurring costs (hosting, support, upgrades). DeployOpen does not publish a price list, and a quote follows from a written scope.
How long does a Statuspage to OneUptime migration take?
The duration depends on the number of pages, components, incidents and subscribers, how much history you need to carry over, and how many integrations feed your current pages. Teams with a small number of public pages and few subscribers usually have a shorter path than teams with private audience pages, custom domains and years of incident history. No duration is fixed in advance. Ask for a timeline in the written scope, and check it against your own calendar for change freezes, maintenance windows and subscriber communication lead times.
What does the migration need from our own team?
Your team needs to provide access and decisions. Typically that means an owner for each status page, someone who can export or grant API access to Statuspage, the list of components that matter to customers, and a named approver for DNS and custom domain changes. Engineers should confirm how components map to monitors on the new platform, and security staff should review single sign-on settings for private pages. Agree these responsibilities in writing before work starts so delays are visible early.
Can our own engineers migrate to OneUptime without a partner?
Yes, a capable team can deploy OneUptime and rebuild pages themselves, using the Docker Compose or Helm options the project documents. The harder parts are usually not the install but the operational work: exporting incident history and subscribers through the Statuspage API within its request limits, reproducing component structure, testing notifications, and running backups and upgrades afterwards. Decide honestly whether that work fits your team's capacity. A fixed-scope engagement can cover the parts you do not want to own.
How do we keep subscriber consent when we move notifications?
Subscriber consent is a legal and trust question, not only a technical one. Do not copy subscriber email addresses or phone numbers into a new system and assume they agreed to receive messages from it. Confirm with your privacy or legal team what each subscriber opted into, and plan a clear notice and an opt-in path on the new platform. Check how the Statuspage export handles subscriber data and where the exported file is stored, and document the retention and deletion steps as part of your evidence.
Does OneUptime cover on-call scheduling and escalation?
Yes. OneUptime's documented feature set includes on-call schedules and escalation policies, with alerts sent by SMS, phone call, push, email and Slack. It also covers incident management from declaring and assigning incidents through communication, resolution and post-mortems. Confirm during evaluation that these features meet your escalation rules, your telephony and SMS provider requirements, and your on-call load, because delivery depends on the providers you connect.
When do we need OneUptime Enterprise Edition?
Enterprise Edition is needed when your requirements go beyond the Community Edition. According to the project's repository, the Enterprise Edition adds SCIM provisioning, audit logs, compliance and instance health dashboards, priority support and data residency, and it is priced through sales. Community Edition already includes SAML and OIDC single sign-on, branded public and private status pages, and incident management. If your auditors expect audit logs or your identity team requires SCIM, price Enterprise Edition into the comparison. Note that the code in the ee/ directory uses a separate license, so review it with your legal team.
Where to verify OneUptime's current features and releases
Start with the OneUptime GitHub repository before you rely on any feature list, including the one in this comparison. The repository states the licensing split you need to check first: the Community Edition is under the Apache License 2.0, while the ee/ directory uses the OneUptime Enterprise License. Confirm which features you need sit outside ee/, because that determines whether a Community deployment covers your status page, incident and on-call requirements without an Enterprise agreement. Read the repository's README and documentation alongside the code, and note the date you checked.
The OneUptime GitHub releases page is the place to track version history. The latest release supplied for this comparison is 14.0.70, published on October 18, 2026. Treat that as a starting point, not a guarantee of what is current on the day you read this. Before a pilot, record the version you will deploy, read its release notes for changes to status page, subscriber notification and on-call behavior, and check whether the release changes anything in your Docker Compose or Helm configuration.
Statuspage needs the same discipline. Atlassian changes plan limits, subscriber rules and API behavior over time, so confirm each feature you compare against Atlassian's own Statuspage documentation and your contracted plan, not against a third-party summary. Write down the specific capabilities your organization depends on, such as private pages behind SSO, subscriber export and scheduled maintenance notices, then test each one on both platforms in a non-production environment. Keep those results with your migration plan so the decision rests on evidence you can show your auditors and procurement team.
How DeployOpen helps evaluate and move status pages to OneUptime
The sequence below takes a team from a written scope to self-hosted OneUptime status pages, subscriber notifications and on-call routing running in its own infrastructure, with each step closed by a check the client can verify.
Agree a fixed scope in writing
DeployOpen and the client agree in writing which Statuspage pages, components, incident history, subscriber lists and on-call routes are in scope, which hosting environment will run OneUptime, and which identity provider will sign staff in. Because DeployOpen does not publish prices, the quote follows from this written scope, and the client should ask for the quote to list each deliverable separately. The step is done when both parties sign the scope document and the deliverables are listed.
Assess current Statuspage usage and gaps
DeployOpen reviews how the team uses Statuspage today, including public and private pages, custom domains, subscriber types, scheduled maintenance patterns and any incident workflows that touch on-call tools. The review compares each feature with what OneUptime Community Edition provides and flags gaps, such as features the team relies on that need confirmation with the project or a different design. The output is a written gap list that the client signs off before any build work begins.
Deploy OneUptime in the client's infrastructure
DeployOpen installs OneUptime inside the client's own cloud account, data center or private network, using Docker Compose on a supported Linux server for a small footprint or the Helm chart that the project recommends for production. Staging and production instances are separated, and DNS, TLS certificates and outbound email or SMS providers are configured. The step closes when the instance answers on the agreed hostname and a test status page renders with the client's branding.
Integrate identity and access controls
DeployOpen connects OneUptime to the client's identity provider through the SAML or OIDC single sign-on included in Community Edition, and defines which roles can edit components, declare incidents and manage subscribers. If the client needs SCIM provisioning, audit logs or data residency features, DeployOpen confirms with the client whether these are needed, because they belong to the Enterprise Edition, which is priced through sales. The step is done when a test user from each role signs in and their permissions match the approved matrix.
Rebuild pages, components and on-call routes
Using the exported components and incident history, DeployOpen recreates public and private status pages in OneUptime, maps each Statuspage component to the matching monitor or manual component, and configures on-call schedules and escalation policies with alerts by SMS, phone call, push, email or Slack where the client uses them. Each mapping is listed in a reconciliation sheet that the client's service owners check. The step closes when every component appears on the new page with the agreed status and each escalation path has been tested.
Migrate subscribers with documented consent
DeployOpen moves subscriber records only where the client can show a lawful basis and the subscriber opted in to notifications, and it keeps the consent source with each record. Subscribers who cannot be verified are not imported, and the client sends a notice explaining the change and how to subscribe to the new page. The step is done when the consent log, the import count and the notification test results have been reviewed and approved by the client's privacy or compliance owner.
Harden, back up and document the platform
DeployOpen applies the hardening baseline agreed in the scope, covering access restrictions, TLS settings, secrets handling and patch cadence, and configures scheduled backups of the OneUptime database and configuration with a restore test. It then writes a runbook covering upgrades, restore steps and on-call procedures, and records evidence of each control so the client's compliance team can use it in its own assessment. DeployOpen prepares this evidence but does not issue audit reports or certifications. The step closes when a restore from backup has been completed and the runbook is accepted.
Cut over DNS and hand over support
DeployOpen plans the DNS change with the client, publishes the status page on the production hostname, keeps Statuspage running for a period the client agrees, and confirms that subscribers receive the first incident or maintenance notice from OneUptime. After cutover, the client chooses between a handover with its own staff and an ongoing retainer covering upgrades, support and continuous testing. The step is done when the production hostname resolves to OneUptime, the first notice is delivered, and the support arrangement is signed.
