## Testomato vs **Status.io**

Looking for a **Status.io alternative**? Status.io is primarily a status page and incident communication platform. Testomato is an active monitoring service that automatically detects problems with your website — and publishes them to a [public status page](https://testomato.com/status-page/) without manual reporting.

## Key **differences**

**Status.io** focuses on status page hosting and incident communication — letting you tell users about known issues. **Testomato** actively monitors your website every 15 seconds, detects errors automatically, and keeps your [status page](https://testomato.com/status-page/) current without any manual posting.

## Why choose **Testomato** over Status.io
