Suggestion: Allow a Small Number of Status Page Email Subscribers on the Solo Plan#1681

D

I would like to suggest a more flexible option for the Solo plan.

I understand that email subscriptions are currently reserved for higher-tier plans, and I respect that these features are part of your paid offerings.

However, for small independent projects, upgrading to a significantly more expensive plan just to get basic Status Page email notifications can be difficult to justify.

Instead of asking for these features to be included for free, I would like to suggest an optional trade-off within the Solo plan.

For example, Solo users could choose to:

  • Keep their current included monitor limit without email subscribers.
  • Give up some of their included monitors in exchange for a limited number of email subscribers.

Possible limits could be 5, 15, 50 or even 100 subscribers, depending on what would be reasonable for UptimeRobot.

I personally manage GROUP 1, a small Discord community project run between friends, without any commercial purpose or revenue.

I don’t need advanced notification features, custom email templates or complicated systems. Simple text-based emails notifying subscribers when an incident starts or a service is restored would be perfectly sufficient.

I am not asking to receive the benefits of a more expensive plan while paying less. I am simply suggesting an alternative way to use the value of the Solo plan, by sacrificing some existing features to access another basic functionality.

I believe this could be a reasonable compromise for small communities and independent projects that cannot justify upgrading to a higher-tier subscription.

Thank you for considering this suggestion!
