Better Stack
Fresh80% completeBetter Stack is an all-in-one observability and incident management platform (rebranded from Better Uptime) covering uptime checks, on-call scheduling, status pages, log management, distributed tracing, infrastructure metrics, error tracking, and real user monitoring. It positions as a Datadog alternative at significantly lower cost, with OpenTelemetry-native ingestion, eBPF-based service maps, and Sentry-compatible SDK support. Teams use it to consolidate their monitoring stack into a single platform with per-seat responder billing and usage-based telemetry bundles.
