Provenance: Instatus pricing page (instatus.com/pricing) is JS-rendered and returned no dollar figures on direct fetch (re-confirmed 2026-06-14). Pro $20/month and Business $300/month are corroborated by Instatus's own first-party blog (instatus.com/blog/incident-io-pricing), which states 'Pro ($20/month): 50 monitors with 30-second checks, email and SMS alerts, up to 50 team members' and 'Business ($300/month): up to 1,000 monitors, phone alerts, SAML SSO, all status page types, 25,000 subscribers' — feature sets that match these plans exactly — and by the CheckStatus comparison page (checkstatus.io/compare/instatus/), which repeatedly cites the '$20/mo to $300/mo, 15x' jump. CAVEAT: some 2026 aggregators (PulseSignal, TrustRadius) list Pro $15/month and Business $225/month instead, possibly reflecting an annual-equivalent or a revised tier; PulseSignal's page now returns 'no pricing plans extracted'. The first-party figures ($20/$300) are retained as they are directly attested by Instatus and match the listed features; the discrepancy is flagged here and in plan notes. The official pricing page is kept as the primary source URL for structure; corroboration links point to the first-party blog.
