Different tools for different jobs

Checkly is excellent if you need Playwright browser testing, multi-step API checks, and monitoring-as-code with Terraform. It's a developer testing platform that also does monitoring. OnePageStatus is purpose-built for uptime monitoring and status communication — if your primary need is "is my service up, and how do I tell my users when it's not", we do that better and cheaper.

Better status pages, less money

Checkly's status pages are functional but basic. Custom domains and incident management require their $64/month Team plan. OnePageStatus gives you real-time status pages (live via WebSocket — no competitor has this), custom domains, unlimited subscribers, component groups, and incident management on the £12/month Pro plan. That's less than half the cost.

What Checkly does that we don't

If you need Playwright browser checks, visual regression testing, monitoring-as-code, or AI root cause analysis, Checkly is the right choice. These are developer-focused testing features that we don't offer. If you need both, you could use Checkly for testing and OnePageStatus for your public status page — they serve different audiences.
