Once you’ve selected a plan, you can upgrade it further by purchasing any number of additional add-ons and credits. You can also increase the number of status pages. To learn more about the cost of add-ons and view other licensing details, refer to our pricing page.

Plans and features

During the evaluation period, you will be provided with an account that has the features of the Green plan. You will be able to use three Green status pages during this period. However, if you are a paid user of Site24x7, you will be provided with the Basic plan and three Basic status pages. If you wish to try the Green plan, you can opt for evaluation within 30 days after signing up.

After 30 days of evaluating the Green plan, your StatusIQ account will be downgraded to the Basic plan if you are a paid user of Site24x7, and to the Free plan if you're a free user.

StatusIQ Green plan add-ons

You can use Green StatusIQ add-ons to:

• Add up to 50 components.
• Keep your status pages private so search engines can’t crawl them.
• Customize emails.
• Automate status updates via email or REST API.
• Send SMS notifications to your subscribers.
  
  

Subscriber add-ons

By default, a status page will be limited to a certain number of customers. For the Green plan, the subscriber limit is 250 subscribers, whereas it’s 100 for the Basic plan and the Free plan. To increase this limit, you can purchase Subscriber add-ons for your page. Each add-on will add 250 subscribers to your page.

There are certain criteria that must be met to trigger the auto-buy option in Site24x7 StatusIQ:

• You must use a credit card to purchase your subscription.
• The auto-buy process will be initiated whenever your SMS alert credit count drops to less than twice the number of your SMS subscribers.
• SMS alert credits will be purchased until the count reaches the threshold, which is twice the count of your SMS subscribers.

You can always check when and why an auto-buy transaction was triggered by StatusIQ by clicking Access Auto-buy usage logs in the License module of your status page.
