# StatusDrop - Status Page Widget for SaaS

## Quick Answer

StatusDrop is a status page widget that monitors 550+ services (Stripe, AWS, GitHub, Vercel, Cloudflare) and displays real-time status on your website. Setup takes 30 seconds with one script tag. No backend required.

## What It Does

StatusDrop gives SaaS companies two things: an embeddable status widget (one script tag) and a hosted status page on your own domain. When third-party services go down, your users see real-time updates instead of opening support tickets.

## Use Cases

- SaaS companies monitoring third-party dependencies (Stripe, AWS, GitHub, etc.)
- Reducing support tickets during outages (avg 42% reduction per Zendesk research)
- Transparent incident communication on your own domain
- Custom domain status pages (status.yourdomain.com)
- White-label mode to hide your tech stack from end users

## Pricing

- Free: 1 stack, 5 services, status page, custom domain, 7-day history
- Pro ($14.99/mo or $99.99/yr): 10 stacks, unlimited services, white-label, alerts, API, 90-day history

## Key Features

1. One-line embed: Add a single script tag to your website
2. 550+ pre-integrated services across 13 categories
3. Real-time updates with 17 dedicated parsers
4. 3 widget templates (Minimal Dot, Compact Bar, Status Dot) and 12 presets
5. Custom domain: Point status.yourdomain.com via CNAME
6. White-label mode: Rename services, hide branding

9. Health checks: Monitor your own endpoints (Pro)
10. Visual status page builder with theme customization

## Common Questions

A: No. StatusDrop handles all monitoring, parsing, and status updates. You just embed the widget.

Q: How is StatusDrop different from Statuspage.io?
