- observability
- Yes
- From $29/month, or $34/month depending on the plan selected; Better Stack advertises both figures as starting prices on the same page.

Who it suits.
Teams who would otherwise buy uptime monitoring, log management and error tracking separately, and would rather have one bill and one dashboard.
Consider something else if…
Web event retention is 3 days on the free plan, which is short enough to miss a Monday-morning investigation of a Friday-night incident.
