## Why open-source projects need a status page
Your users and contributors rely on your services — APIs, documentation sites, package registries, demo instances. When something goes down, they need to know **what's happening** and **when it'll be back**.
A status page turns "is it down for everyone or just me?" into a clear answer.
## Trusted by the open-source community
Teams like **Cal.com**, **Documenso**, **Hanko**, **OpenPanel**, and **Probo** use openstatus to keep their communities informed.
## Why openstatus fits open-source
### Open source itself
Openstatus is fully open source. You can inspect the code, contribute, self-host, or use the managed SaaS. No vendor lock-in.
### Free tier that works
The free plan gives you a real status page with uptime monitoring — not a trial. One monitor, one status page, 6 regions. Enough for most projects to get started.
### Transparent by default
Public status pages with uptime data, incident history, and response times. Your community sees exactly what's happening — matching the transparency ethos of open source.
### Community subscriptions
Let your users subscribe via **email**, **RSS/Atom**, or **JSON**. When you push a status report, they know. No manual pinging in Discord.
### Theme Store
Make your status page match your project's brand with [community themes](https://themes.openstatus.dev). Contribute your own theme back to the store.
