Research competitors high-level

[eddiejaoude]

Research their features, pricing, marketing strategies, what social media platforms do they use and which ones are popular etc.

Potential competitors I have come across:

• StatusHub https://statushub.com
• StatusPage https://www.statuspage.io

Not a direct competitor, but similar to the monitoring side and popular in the tech space for simplicity and pricing:

• Pingdom https://www.pingdom.com

Please also look for more competitors and ideas etc.
