Frequently Asked Questions

Plans, product coverage, and what to check before you switch.

Why pay when vendor subscriptions are free?

The value is managing your vendor status monitoring together: component selection, status filters, destinations, and a shared view. If your existing subscriptions already reach the right people with the right updates, they may be enough. Statusfield is useful when keeping that setup consistent across vendors becomes work.

Don’t some vendors already offer filters and Slack alerts?

Yes. Some vendors offer component subscriptions and several notification channels. Statusfield brings those choices into one workspace across supported vendors. Component and region coverage still depends on what each vendor reports.

Will we need to watch another dashboard?

No. Configure alerts for the inboxes or team channels you already use. Open Statusfield when you want to check your dependencies together or change your rules. Available channels and destination limits depend on your plan.

Does Statusfield detect outages before the vendor reports them?

Vendor status monitoring follows official reported status. Timing depends on vendor updates, polling, and delivery; earlier detection is not guaranteed. Keep your application and infrastructure checks alongside Statusfield. A green vendor page does not rule out an issue affecting you.

Should I unsubscribe from my existing alerts right away?

Start with a few important dependencies. Check component coverage, configure your destinations, and send labeled test alerts. Once you’ve verified the setup, review your direct subscriptions and turn off duplicates you no longer need. Statusfield does not cancel those subscriptions for you.

Can I try this before committing to a paid plan?

Try any paid plan for 30 days, no credit card required. Free trial for first-time customers. Use the trial to select your vendors, configure alert rules, and verify delivery. Continued monitoring after the trial requires a paid subscription. Review your selected plan and price before checkout; you can cancel from your account.
