What stays the same on every page

- Confirmed, grouped incidents
- Re-check after 15 s, two failures by default, a majority of regions must agree, one incident per page per 30 minutes.
- AI incident reports
- Likely causes, next steps, the deploy that preceded it, a customer-safe summary and a post-incident recap.
- Agent-first
- REST, 50+ MCP tools, signed webhooks, and agents that can sign themselves up.
- Bring your setup
- Built-in importers for Statuspage, UptimeRobot and Better Stack, with a dry run first.
And what we do not do: phone or SMS alerts, check locations outside the EU, log management, SAML SSO or a mobile app. If you need one of those, the comparison pages tell you who does.
