RealUptime Status vs StatusCake
StatusCake sells uptime monitoring and public status pages as two separate products with two separate price tags: StatusCake Pages starts at $12.46/mo (billed annually) for one page on top of whatever uptime plan is already paid for. RealUptime Status is one product at one price: the monitor and the public status page ship together on every tier, including Free.

StatusCake pricing in 2026
As published on StatusCake's pricing page (verified September 2, 2026): Free is $0 for 10 uptime monitors at 5-minute intervals; Superior is $24.49/mo, or $20.41/mo billed annually, for 100 monitors at 1-minute intervals with 9 team members; Business is $79.99/mo, or $66.66/mo billed annually, for 300 monitors at 30-second intervals; Enterprise is custom. Superior and Business also include page speed, domain, SSL, and server monitors in varying counts.
The number those tiers leave out is the status page: StatusCake Pages is a separate product from $12.46/mo (billed annually) for one page, on top of whichever uptime plan is already paid for, with password protection from its Silver tier at $41.63/mo. RealUptime Status is $0, $28.99/mo on Growth, or $78.99/mo on Scale, and the public status page is part of the product on every tier rather than a second line item. If you need StatusCake's wider monitor types, its bundle math may still win; if you need a monitor and a status page, one price against two is the comparison that matters.
