Introduction​

IncidentHub tracked 30,246 outages across 1,082 providers between January and June 2026. Dependency risk is a major factor when your business depends on third-party services. A vendor outage monitor and status page aggregator can help you stay on top of which vendors are down, and which are up.

UptimeRobot announced in July 2026 that it had acquired the status page aggregator IsDown. IsDown's own announcement had said earlier that the product, name, team, and prices would stay the same, with billing moving to UptimeRobot. If you are looking at other options, here is a list of some tools that do the same job.

Sites like Downdetector work differently, using reports from users rather than official status pages, so they aren't in this list.

Every feature and plan below was taken from each product's own website on September 21, 2026, named in each section. Products change, so please check the named sites before you decide.

Six IsDown alternatives in 2026

How This List Was Created​

We looked at tools that watch official vendor status pages, and either send alerts or display the overall status on a unified status page, or both. The feature lists come from each tool's own website. Each tool has a screenshot where applicable, captured on September 21, 2026.

What is IsDown​

IsDown watches the status pages of other companies' services and alerts you when one of them has an outage. It tracks 6,320+ vendors. Since June 2026 it has been owned by UptimeRobot.

IncidentHub​

IncidentHub monitors the official status pages of third-party cloud and SaaS services and sends alerts when a service has an outage.

Features​

  • 1,125+ services as of this writing
  • Unlimited notifications
  • Subscribe to individual components, e.g., GitHub Actions rather than all of GitHub
  • Turn off maintenance alerts, and choose which alerts in the incident lifecycle to receive (start, updates, and resolution)
  • Maintenance feed and maintenance reminders
  • Private status ingestion for Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, and Infor CloudSuite using official APIs
  • Alerts and integrations: Slack, Discord, email, webhooks, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, Zendesk, BoldDesk, Freshdesk, and Atlassian Jira Service Management
  • Customizable public status page, affected components and history view, password protection, branding removal, and hosting on your own domain
  • For MSPs - per-client status pages in a single account: up to 50 on the Multi-Client plan

IncidentHub monitors fewer vendors than most tools on this list, and that is deliberate. We add a vendor when a customer asks for one, when we target a specific segment, or when we need it for our vendor reliability studies. If a vendor you depend on is missing, tell us and we will add it.

Mistakes to Avoid When Switching from IsDown​

Switching tools can seem like a small project in itself. However, most of the risk can be in details you only notice after the old tool is gone. Check these before you begin.

Choosing by catalog size​

The number of vendors a tool tracks tells you little on its own. What matters is whether the vendors your team depends on are covered, and whether you can pick the components or regions you use, e.g., GitHub Actions rather than all of GitHub. Write down your list and search each tool's catalog for every item on it. If it's not available in the target tool, check with the tool's team how soon they can add it.

Not writing down your current setup​

Before you switch, note which vendors you monitor, which components you filter on, and which alerts go to which channel. Rebuilding this from memory in a new tool can lead to missed or noisy alerts, or an incomplete status page.

Checking integrations on the website instead of on your plan​

An integrations page lists everything a tool supports. The plan you buy may not include all of it. Check the pricing page for the plan you will actually pay for - the one that will meet all your needs.

Forgetting outages that never reach public status pages​

Microsoft 365 and Azure do not post incidents that affect only some tenants on their public status pages. If those matter to you, check whether the tool can read your Microsoft 365 or Azure tenant's service health, and on which plan.

Not deciding how much history you need​

If you use past incidents for vendor reviews, SLA claims, or client reports, check how much history the new tool keeps on your plan.

Forgetting custom integrations​

If you use any custom integrations with an API or webhooks to build your own dashboards, or to push outage data to your workflows, check whether the new tool can do the same. Even if it does, the data format will likely be different.

Turning everything on at once​

Every vendor and every update switched on from day one is a fast way to get the alert channel muted. Start with component filters, decide whether you want maintenance alerts, and add vendors one by one.

Switching before the new tool has seen a real incident​

Run the new tool next to your current tool until it has caught at least one real vendor incident, and check that the alert reached the right people. Then go ahead with the switch.

Forgetting your status pages​

If staff or clients use a status page from your current tool, that link will change. Set up the new page first, then tell them where it has moved.

Conclusion​

The tools above all track vendor outages from one place, but they differ in:

  • How many vendors they cover
  • Where they send alerts
  • Alert routing and filtering critera
  • What else they include, e.g., uptime monitoring or per-client status pages
  • Which tools they integrate with
  • Customizability of status pages
  • Tenant-specific health data ingestion

Most of the tools above have a free plan or a free trial, so you can test with your own vendors and existing workflows before you pay.

If you want to try IncidentHub, you can start a 14-day free trial, no credit card needed.
