Show IH: Launched my first SaaS today, a simple status page tool for devs who can't justify $30/month
For the past few months, I've been building Statsy - a simple, affordable status page tool for developers and small teams.
The problem I kept seeing was that existing status page tools are either too expensive or too complicated to set up quickly. Betterstack, Instatus, and Statuspage.io are great, but overkill and pricey for someone just starting out.
So I built something simpler and faste. You can set up a status page in minutes, monitor your services, and keep your users informed when things go wrong.
Just launched the beta at https://statsy.page. Free tier available, no credit card needed.
Would love honest feedback from this community.

The $30/mo pain is real, but status pages are also a trust product, so I’d make reliability and export/exit very visible early. One angle worth testing is a dead-simple free hosted page plus paid custom domain/branding, since that matches when devs actually start caring. Curious if you’re targeting solo dev projects first or small teams with paying customers.
Both, honestly, I just feel like most newly published products just don't have a status page, and I think it's useful to be more transparent for the users.
This makes sense to me. A lot of small projects really don’t need some huge status page tool with enterprise pricing.
If setup is actually as quick as it sounds, that alone could be a strong selling point. Congrats on the launch, hope you get some solid early users from this.
Thanks, and yes, as I try to time it. It only takes less than 5 minutes to sign up and get the first status page up.
That's amazing
Smart positioning. A lot of founders don’t need enterprise-grade status pages — they just need something clean, fast, and affordable that works. “Overkill and pricey” is a real pain point. If onboarding is smooth and reliability is solid, you could win a lot of indie hackers and small teams. Hope you get sharp feedback and iterate fast.
Thanks, that's the exact thing that I'm trying to solve. Everything works quite well now, takes under 5 minutes to get a status page live. Would love for you to try it and tell me if anything feels off.
