Why Vigil

  • 01

    $9 flat. Everything included.

    No per-subscriber pricing. No add-ons, no seat math, no surprise invoice when your side project finally takes off. One price, every feature.

  • 02

    Custom domain on every plan.

    Host your status page at status.yourproject.dev from day one. Instatus charges $20/mo for a custom domain. Here it is the default, not an upsell.

  • 03

    Live in 60 seconds.

    No "responders", no "escalation policies", no enterprise onboarding call. Add your services, point your domain, ship. The whole product fits on one screen.

Pricing

FAQ

Straight answers

It's pre-launch, so here's the honest state of things — no vaporware spin.

When does it launch?

Vigil is being built right now. Early access opens in roughly six weeks. Join the list and you'll be first in — and eligible for the 50%-off-for-life early-bird deal.

What's included at $9/mo?

A custom domain, unlimited email subscribers, uptime monitoring with HTTP checks every minute, unlimited services, incident history, and scheduled-maintenance posts. No add-ons, no per-subscriber fees.

Why not just use Instatus' free tier?

The free tier has no custom domain and caps you at 200 subscribers. Vigil gives you your own domain and unlimited subscribers at a flat $9 — the two things you actually outgrow first.

Can I migrate from another status page?

That's a priority for launch. We're building importers for services and subscriber lists so you can move over without emailing everyone to re-subscribe. Tell us what you're on when you sign up and we'll prioritise it.

Is uptime monitoring really included?

Yes — HTTP checks run every minute against the endpoints you configure, and your status page and uptime percentages update automatically. No separate monitoring tool or extra bill.
