Agency Audit

OutageDeck monitors 172+ SaaS and cloud vendor status pages in real-time, letting agencies and their clients instantly determine whether an outage stems from third-party dependencies or internal infrastructure. It sends alerts via Slack, Teams, Discord, or webhook, and exposes a JSON API for programmatic access. For agencies managing client infrastructure or MSPs tracking vendor dependencies, this is a low-friction add-on retainer: clients pay for monitoring peace-of-mind, and agencies handle alert routing and incident triage. The Business plan at $199/month supports up to 50 alert rules per client, making multi-client white-label deployments viable.

Best For
  • You manage 5+ client accounts and need to route vendor outage alerts to different Slack channels per client without duplicating subscriptions across separate OutageDeck accounts.
  • Your clients depend on 8+ SaaS vendors (e.g., Vercel, Supabase, GitHub, Datadog, Slack) and currently monitor status pages manually or via fragmented tools.
  • You want to offer incident triage as a retainer service: OutageDeck's API and MCP server integration let you automate status checks within your own incident response workflows.
Not For
  • You require full white-label branding on client-facing dashboards and alerts; OutageDeck does not offer a branded portal or custom domain option.
  • Your clients operate in highly regulated industries (healthcare, finance) and require SOC2 Type II or HIPAA compliance; OutageDeck's compliance posture is not documented in public materials.
  • You need to monitor fewer than 5 vendors per client and cannot justify a $19/month Starter plan minimum for each account.

Platform Features

Core capabilities of OutageDeck

Real-time vendor status monitoring

Tracks 172+ SaaS and cloud providers' official status pages and refreshes approximately every 10 minutes. Agencies use this to answer the critical question: is the outage ours or theirs?

Multi-channel alert routing

Sends outage notifications via Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, email, or webhook. The Pro plan includes 20 alert rules, allowing agencies to route vendor-specific alerts to different on-call channels or client teams without noise.

Shareable status board

Generates a live dashboard showing the status of up to 12 vendors in a single view. Agencies can embed this in client portals or share the link directly during incident response.

JSON API and MCP server

Exposes programmatic access to vendor status and incident data via API (1,000 requests/hour on Starter, 5,000 on Pro). The MCP server integration allows AI agents to check vendor status mid-task without manual polling.

Custom provider support

Tracks non-standard status feeds via Statuspage or Instatus, including authenticated and private feeds. Agencies can monitor internal infrastructure status pages or niche vendors not in the public 172+ list.

Status badges and RSS feeds

Generates embeddable badges and RSS feeds for dashboards or README files. Useful for agencies that want to surface vendor health in client-facing documentation or internal runbooks.

What Makes OutageDeck Different

Unique advantages vs similar tools in this niche

Monitors 172+ vendors from a single source

vs Manually checking each vendor's status page

OutageDeck re-reads the official status feed of all 172 tracked providers about every 10 minutes, providing a consolidated view.

Shareable stack board with no data storage

vs Internal status dashboards that require setup and maintenance

The stack board is a shareable link that shows live status for up to 12 vendors, with nothing stored on the server.

MCP server for AI agents

vs Manual status checks during coding tasks

Coding agents can connect via MCP and ask 'is it us or them?' mid-task, before tearing apart code.

CAUTION

Your clients operate in highly regulated industries (healthcare, finance) and require SOC2 Type II or HIPAA compliance; OutageDeck's compliance posture is not documented in public materials.

CAUTION

You need to monitor fewer than 5 vendors per client and cannot justify a $19/month Starter plan minimum for each account.

CAUTION

Your clients demand real-time alerting (sub-5-minute latency); OutageDeck refreshes status feeds approximately every 10 minutes, introducing a detection delay.

Bottom Line

OutageDeck monitors 172+ SaaS and cloud vendor status pages in real-time, letting agencies and their clients instantly determine whether an outage stems from third-party dependencies or internal infrastructure. It sends alerts via Slack, Teams, Discord, or webhook, and exposes a JSON API for programmatic access.

The Business plan at $199/month supports up to 50 alert rules per client, making multi-client white-label deployments viable.

Reality Check

Trade-offs & Gotchas

OutageDeck does not publish a white-label program, so client-facing dashboards and alerts display the OutageDeck brand. Agencies cannot rebrand the status board or API responses, limiting positioning as a fully custom solution. Custom provider support (Statuspage, Instatus feeds) requires manual setup per client, adding operational overhead for large client rosters.

Moderate effort: standard configuration with some customization needed

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about pricing, setup, implementation

OutageDeck monitors 172+ SaaS and cloud vendor status pages in real-time and sends outage alerts via Slack, Teams, Discord, email, or webhook. It helps agencies and their clients determine whether an outage is caused by third-party dependencies or internal infrastructure, and provides a shareable status board, JSON API, and MCP server integration for programmatic access to vendor status and incident data.

OutageDeck offers 4 pricing tiers, starting at $19/mo (Starter) up to $199/mo per client (Business). Agencies typically achieve 55% profit margins when reselling to clients.

No verified white-label program. Client-facing surfaces, including the status board and alert notifications, display the OutageDeck brand. Agencies cannot customize the domain, logo, or branding in the dashboard or API responses, limiting positioning as a fully custom solution.

Yes. OutageDeck natively supports Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Discord for alert routing. The Starter plan and above include these integrations, allowing agencies to route vendor outage alerts directly to client or internal Slack channels and Teams workspaces.

Initial setup typically takes 15-30 minutes per client once the agency parent account is configured. The Business plan includes hands-on onboarding and alert setup, reducing manual configuration. Custom provider setup (Statuspage or Instatus feeds) may add 5-10 minutes per feed depending on authentication requirements.

Best suited for agencies managing client infrastructure (web agencies, digital product studios), MSPs monitoring vendor dependencies, SaaS startups relying on 5+ external vendors, and platform teams overseeing multiple squads. Any client whose product depends on Vercel, Supabase, GitHub, Datadog, Slack, or similar vendors benefits from centralized outage monitoring.

Yes. The Pro plan includes 10 custom providers and the Business plan includes 30, allowing you to track non-standard status feeds via Statuspage or Instatus. This includes authenticated and private feeds, so agencies can monitor internal infrastructure status pages or niche vendors not in the public 172+ list.

OutageDeck offers a 14-day money-back guarantee. Upon cancellation, alert routing stops and API access is revoked. Agencies should plan client communication in advance to avoid surprise service interruptions.
