"Great free tier"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

The app is super easy to setup. It took me like 5 minutes to get everything up and running. The free plan offers up to 10 monitors, which is amazing for any smaller project. Also, it includes a status page, which has a very neat design and integrates with the monitors quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

The advanced plans are quite expensive for individuals, but I understand that for teams, this is probably ok. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Uptime service I have tried!"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

Setting everything from monitors and contact methods to status pages is a breeze and way waay better than anything else I have tried before. A big PRO for me is the built-in calendar schedule. I can now see who is on call easily and manage how different incidents are dealt with, amazing to have this inside a monitoring tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Nothing I can think of. From UI to functionality everything just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Start, Good for Many"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

It is great that they also monitor SSL certificates and that you can select for how long the system need to be down to trigger the alert. This avoids false alerts with short network issues.

You can also select how long it has to be back up to automatically mark as resolved. That's great for continuous flakiness detection on recovery.

You can also set certain GET/POST parameters to do a deeper check on some functions.

You can send headers and bypass HTTP authentication.

They can also integrate with some infrastructure monitoring tools.

Phone calls, SMS, Slack notifications.

They are working on POP, IMAP... and other monitors which are necessary for server, rather than just website monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

The current notification setup just doesn't work well for me personally as it is right now.

They only have on duty and whole team and you can't select different notifications and wait periods depending on the time of day.

It seems designed for large companies that always have someone on call 24/7.

If I want to get a call, SMS and e-mail during the day on certain monitors and just SMS and e-mail at night, then that's not possible.

If I want to be notified after a minute of downtime during the day but only after 5 at night then that doesn't work out of the box.

Some of these issues can be worked around with creative scheduling of users, but only on the Team plan and up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"You will never regret getting BetterUptime. 100% AAA"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

It works 100% of the time. Sites go down, I know immediately. On desired URL's, I get a phone call. Weekly reports let me know how my clients were handled and I highly recommend the app. I've tried many, none are better!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

All works perfectly. I have no recommendations. BetterUptime is a solid performer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
