Does Instatus include uptime monitoring?
Public Instatus plan details include monitoring on some plans. Check the current Instatus plan limits to see whether its monitoring coverage fits your needs; HowlOps includes HTTP monitoring, multi-region checks, and heartbeat monitoring natively.
Can I replace Instatus + monitoring tool with HowlOps?
Yes. HowlOps provides both public status pages and uptime monitoring, so you can consolidate your tooling and reduce costs by switching from Instatus + a separate monitor to HowlOps alone.

Instatus plan details should be checked for the current on-call and escalation scope. HowlOps includes on-call schedules with rotation and escalation policies, so the right person can be notified.
