The free plan includes 10 monitors and heartbeats, one status page, exceptions, session replays, logs and traces, and metrics; paid plans start at $29 a month, billed per license annually. iOS and Android apps are available for mobile notifications.

A logging-focused alternative may suit teams that prefer self-hosting, a particular cloud environment, or a different approach to log analysis. Compare deployment choices, pipelines, retention, export, and query tools against Better Stack’s broader incident-response and monitoring features. Some alternatives emphasize SQL analysis or machine-learning log investigation, while others provide open-source collection pipelines. Switching may mean giving up Better Stack’s combination of on-call, incident management, status pages, uptime monitoring, error tracking, and real user monitoring, so weigh those needs alongside logging workflow and price.
