Cachet

free From $0/mo · Founded 2014 · self-hosted

Open-source PHP status page — original Statuspage alternative, used by GitLab.

What it does well

  • Completely free and open-source, offering full data control and no vendor lock-in.
  • Well-documented API allows for integration with existing monitoring and alerting systems.
  • Supports multiple languages out of the box for international audiences.

Where it falls short

  • Self-hosted only, requiring users to manage their own server, database, and security.
  • Does not perform monitoring; requires integration with external tools to automate status updates.
  • Project development has slowed significantly, with infrequent updates and merged pull requests.
