SolidPing vs OpenStatus
Both SolidPing and OpenStatus are open-source monitoring platforms with public status pages, and both are worth a look. They make different bets, though: OpenStatus is a compliance-first status page with a polished managed SaaS and a serverless, multi-service architecture; SolidPing is a single-binary, self-host-first platform that trades some breadth of managed regions for operational simplicity and a much wider protocol list.
OpenStatus is the other tool here shaped exactly like us — open source you can run, plus a hosted service you can buy. So this page compares the two self-hosted builds first, then the two hosted plans, rather than mixing a free build against a paid one.

Where SolidPing is the stronger choice
You monitor more than websites. OpenStatus focuses on HTTP, TCP, and DNS synthetic checks — great for public endpoints. SolidPing covers 40 protocols, so the same platform watches your Postgres/MySQL/Redis/MongoDB databases, SMTP/IMAP/POP3 mail servers, gRPC/Kafka/RabbitMQ/MQTT messaging, SSH/RDP/FTP/SFTP, SNMP devices, Docker and Kubernetes, SSL certificates and domain expiry, NTP, DNSBL blocklists, even game servers and Freebox lines. And you can drop into sandboxed JavaScript for multi-step logic.
You want simple self-hosting. SolidPing is a single Go binary whose only dependency is a database — SQLite for a laptop, PostgreSQL for production — shipped in a distroless container. Self-hosting the full OpenStatus stack means running its serverless architecture and wiring up Turso and Tinybird for analytics. If you'd rather not operate a data pipeline just to store response times, SolidPing is far less to run. This is the sharpest difference between the two self-hosted builds.
You need built-in on-call. SolidPing ships rotation schedules with overrides and iCal feeds, plus multi-step escalation policies that route incidents to users, schedules, or all admins — no PagerDuty subscription required. OpenStatus leans on external tools for this, in both of its shapes.
You want fast checks without a paid tier. SolidPing runs checks as often as every 10 seconds regardless of how you deploy it. On OpenStatus's SaaS, sub-minute frequency is a Pro-plan ($100/mo) feature and the free tier is capped at 10-minute intervals.
Hosted price, at every step. Their entry paid plan is $30 for 20 monitors; ours is €5 for a thousand. Their Pro is $100 for 50 monitors; our top plan is €45 for five thousand. The two ladders are not aimed at the same buyer.
You care about credential handling. SolidPing seals stored credentials with envelope encryption behind an out-of-band master key and never echoes secrets back to the dashboard.
Where OpenStatus is the stronger choice
28 managed regions against our six. If you buy their hosted service you get global coverage across three clouds without deploying a single worker. Ours is four European regions, one American and one Asian, and closing that gap means running your own workers.
Compliance-first status pages. OpenStatus positions itself around SOC2/compliance readiness, with timestamped status reports, a theme store, custom domains, and password-protected internal pages. If a branded, audit-friendly status page is the primary goal, it's a strong fit.
An enterprise tier that exists. SOC2 reports, SAML/SSO and custom regions are things you can buy from them. Our ladder stops at €45/mo, which is fine until the procurement form asks.
Monitoring-as-code with Terraform. OpenStatus offers a Terraform provider and YAML/CI-CD configuration, which is attractive if you manage everything as infrastructure code. Ours is declarative YAML plus a CLI, not a Terraform resource.
Large-scale time-series analytics. Its Tinybird-backed analytics pipeline is built for high-volume request-timing data (DNS, TLS handshake, TTFB breakdowns) at scale.
The other model, on both sides
Both projects sell hosting for the thing they give away, so the choice is symmetrical: self-host either one and you pay for a machine instead of a plan; buy either one and you stop being paged when the monitoring breaks. The asymmetry is in what self-hosting costs you — one binary and a database on our side, six services and two managed dependencies on theirs — and in what the hosted plans include: their 28 regions against our six, our €5 against their $30, and SMS on neither.
Bottom line
Choose OpenStatus if you want a hosted, compliance-oriented status page with global managed regions and monitoring-as-code, and your checks are mostly HTTP/TCP/DNS.
Choose SolidPing if you want to self-host one small binary, monitor a wide range of protocols and infrastructure, run sub-minute checks without a paywall, and get on-call and escalation built in.
