Frequently asked questions

Yes. The OSS Hero plan is free for eligible open-source projects. We only ask that you keep the small attribution badge visible on your public status page.

OSS Hero includes hosted status pages, multi-region uptime monitoring, incident management, subscriber emails and alert integrations (Slack, Discord and email). You also get embeddable badges, widgets and API access so you can plug StatusPage.me into your existing tooling.

Yes, custom domains are supported on OSS Hero. You can point a subdomain like status.yourproject.org at StatusPage.me with automatic SSL. For very high-traffic projects we may request DNS at your side to manage costs and performance. Learn more on the custom domains page.

That's awesome! If your usage becomes commercial, we'll help you transition to a paid plan that matches your new scale — your status page keeps running.

If you have real users and actively maintain the project, we're interested. If it's just a weekend toy with no adoption yet, this program probably isn't the right fit – we want to focus OSS Hero on projects that other people rely on.

Most applications are reviewed within a few business days. We may reach out if we need more information about your project.

Stop paying for monitoring out of pocket.

If your open-source project keeps other people online, OSS Hero will keep your uptime monitoring, incidents and status page running for free.
