Choose Warden.

What Actually Matters
No fluff — just the differences that affect your decision
Warden is open source (AGPL-3.0). Statuspage is closed. If vendor lock-in keeps you up at night, this is the deciding factor.
Warden has the bigger crowd: 5 stars vs 0. More contributors, more integrations, more momentum.
Warden is built in Go — you can read the source, contribute, or fork it. Statuspage is closed-source, so you're trusting their engineering.
Try both — most offer free tiers. The right pick depends on your stack size, team, and tolerance for DevOps.
