Better Stack

Better Stack is a modern observability and monitoring platform designed for developers and IT teams. Founded in 2019 (originally as Logtail), it consolidates several key functions: uptime monitoring, status pages, incident management, log management, metrics, and traces into a single, user-friendly interface. The platform aims to replace multiple disparate tools, offering a unified experience for ensuring application reliability and performance. In 2022, the company rebranded to Better Stack, and in 2023 it acquired UptimeRobot, a popular uptime monitoring service, further expanding its capabilities and user base. Since then, Better Stack has grown rapidly, amassing thousands of customers including startups, mid-market companies, and enterprises. Better Stack's uptime monitoring feature allows users to check the availability of websites and APIs from multiple global locations, with configurable check intervals and alerting. The status pages feature enables teams to create customizable public status pages to communicate incidents and maintenance to customers. Incident management provides workflows for acknowledging, escalating, and resolving alerts. The log management module offers centralized log ingestion, search, and dashboarding. Additionally, Better Stack supports metrics and traces, providing full-stack observability. The platform is known for its simplicity, competitive pricing, and generous free tier. It integrates with popular alerting channels like Slack, PagerDuty, and email. The target audience includes developers, SREs, DevOps engineers, and IT operations teams. Better Stack's main competitors are Datadog, PagerDuty, Checkly, and open-source solutions like Grafana. Better Stack's infrastructure is hosted on cloud providers like AWS and leverages Cloudflare for CDN and security. The company is headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic, and has a remote-friendly culture with employees across Europe and North America. It has raised venture capital funding from investors such as Index Ventures and angel investors. As of 2025, Better Stack continues to evolve, adding new features like synthetic monitoring, real user monitoring (RUM), and AI-assisted incident analysis. Its strong community presence and active development make it a key player in the observability space. The domain betterstack.com serves as the main web presence, with subdomains for app, docs, and status pages.
