Never thought someone would sell this as a service.
$29+/mo for something as trivial as web-configurable {git pull,hg update,svn checkout} && {rsync,git push,s3cmd sync}; {mailx,curl} pipeline that runs on external notification event or from crontab? Never thought someone would sell this as a service.
In reality, most of the things that are sold as services these days can be done from scratch by a guy who knows what he's doing. The question is whether you have better things to be working on instead.
Great! Where's the source?
I'm not going to complain about the price, because if there's a market that pays that price then they should charge it.
I'm not going to snub their project because I could write it myself.
Instead, I want to look at their source code and compare their techniques to what I would do and what others have done, and congratulate them for their work. So congrats!
Source, please!

We're working on the new engine for deployments already, and you will see more pieces of it open sourced.
Does it tie in with a CI server? We don't deploy unless tests pass Nice that you offer it free to open source!

They are not publishing their own source.
If you're running a small, open source project, this seems like an easy way to manage deployments. Kudos to them for a free plan.

Then you probably shouldn't look at https://www.statuspage.io/pricing In reality, most of the things that are sold as services these days can be done from scratch by a guy who knows what he's doing. The question is whether you have better things to be working on instead.
Whereas, if someone was selling a service that provided pre-scaled (so not Slashdottable) status pages, blogs, docs, wikis, CDNs, etc., and also maybe private git hosting and a CI server -- that'd basically be "you host the webapp, we do the rest", and I could imagine going for that. (Especially since the "you host the webapp" part is exactly where a PaaS slots in.)
