AdGuard Home vs OpenStatus
A side-by-side editorial comparison of AdGuard Home and OpenStatus — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
AdGuard Home vs OpenStatus: at a glance
What is AdGuard Home?
AdGuard Home renames its next release: the 0.108 beta line becomes v1.0.0.
The beta channel has moved to the new UI and versioning scheme, and the first build under it is v1.0.0-b.1, published two days after v0.108.0-b.91. It carries a Go security update, a fix for reading partially received TCP prefixes and a command-line update panic fix, and drops macOS 13 support as a consequence of Go 1.27. The stable line last moved with 0.107.79 in August.
What is OpenStatus?
OpenStatus grows from uptime checks into incident management, from Slack, dashboard or API.
OpenStatus spent October building incident handling on top of its monitors: an Incident API on Oct 2 to declare and run incidents with timelines and postmortems, a status report timeline with an inline composer, dated progress notes on maintenance windows, and on Oct 15 full incident management from Slack or the dashboard. September brought OAuth for its MCP server, a Monitor Pack add-on and searchable response logs.

AdGuard Home
0.0INFRA · APIS
AdGuard Home renames its next release: the 0.108 beta line becomes v1.0.0.
◆ Current state
The beta channel has moved to the new UI and versioning scheme, and the first build under it is v1.0.0-b.1, published two days after v0.108.0-b.91. It carries a Go security update, a fix for reading partially received TCP prefixes and a command-line update panic fix, and drops macOS 13 support as a consequence of Go 1.27. The stable line last moved with 0.107.79 in August.
◆ Where it's heading
What began on the edge channel in August has reached beta, and the version number now states the ambition: the long-running 0.x project is preparing a 1.0. Fix lists on the beta remain short and focused on correctness and Go updates, which suggests the work is converging rather than adding scope.
◆ Prediction
More v1.0.0 betas are likely before a stable 1.0, and the new UI will arrive for stable users with it. No date or candidate is given in these notes.
OpenStatus
5.0INFRA · APIS
OpenStatus grows from uptime checks into incident management, from Slack, dashboard or API.
◆ Current state
OpenStatus spent October building incident handling on top of its monitors: an Incident API on Oct 2 to declare and run incidents with timelines and postmortems, a status report timeline with an inline composer, dated progress notes on maintenance windows, and on Oct 15 full incident management from Slack or the dashboard. September brought OAuth for its MCP server, a Monitor Pack add-on and searchable response logs.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from monitoring and status pages into the incident lifecycle that follows an alert, with every step reachable from the API or an agent. That puts it closer to on-call and incident tools than to plain uptime checkers.
◆ Prediction
On-call scheduling or paging is the gap left after incident management; the entries do not confirm it is planned.
