Better Stack

Better Stack is a unified observability and incident management platform that combines log management, uptime monitoring, incident management, status pages, and on-call scheduling into a single, developer-friendly dashboard. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in San Francisco, Better Stack (formerly known as Better Uptime) has rapidly grown to serve over 200,000 teams worldwide by offering a dramatically simpler alternative to fragmented monitoring stacks. The platform's core product, Better Uptime, provides website and API uptime monitoring with HTTP(s), TCP, UDP, DNS, ICMP ping, and multi-step browser checks from 30+ global locations, with escalation policies that route incidents through phone calls, SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, and email notifications. The logging product provides structured log ingestion with sub-second search across billions of log lines, live tail streaming, custom alerting with anomaly detection, and 200+ pre-built integrations for AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and .NET. Incident management includes on-call scheduling with round-robin and weighted rotation, incident timelines with automatic post-mortems, MTTA/MTTR tracking, and executive dashboards. The status page product provides branded public or private status pages with subscriber notifications via email, SMS, and Slack. Better Stack offers a generous free tier with 10 monitors and 1GB log ingestion, with Team plans at 44 dollars per month and Enterprise plans with SSO, audit logs, and HIPAA compliance.
