| Criteria | Uptime Kuma on Appbox | Statuspage | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|

| Audience control | Simpler public status use cases. | Public, private, and audience-specific pages can target different groups. | Complex customer segmentation points toward Statuspage. |
| Customization | Enough for straightforward transparency. | Commercial customization, custom domains, CSS/HTML/JS on higher plans, and branded communication options. | Brand-sensitive incident communication may justify Statuspage. |
| Cost and ownership | More controlled and focused under the Appbox app model. | Commercial SaaS with plans based on subscribers, team members, metrics, and page type. | Compare by audience size and incident communication requirements. |
