Better Stack is a solid tool — for engineering teams monitoring their own infrastructure. But if you're an agency managing 10, 20, 50 client websites, you need something designed for that workflow.

Better Stack has no concept of 'client'. All your monitors, incidents, and status pages live in one workspace. Managing 15 clients means 15 mental folders in your head.
Your clients want visibility. Better Stack gives you dashboards for your team, not for your clients. With StatusHive, share a portal link — your client sees their uptime instantly.
On-call rotations, log ingestion, incident playbooks — powerful, but overkill for an agency that just needs to monitor client sites and report uptime.
Better Stack charges $20/month for 10 monitors. Need 50? That's $85/month. Need 200? You're looking at serious money. StatusHive Pro gives you 200 monitors for 49 EUR/month.
Every monitor, status page, and incident belongs to a client. Navigate your dashboard by client, not by resource type. See all of Client X's infrastructure in one click.
Each client gets a read-only portal with a magic link. They check their uptime status without logging in. It's branded with your agency's identity on the Pro plan.
Free for 3 clients (10 monitors). Starter at 19 EUR/month (5 clients, 50 monitors). Pro at 49 EUR/month (50 clients, 200 monitors). That's it.
Note down your monitored URLs from Better Stack. Export them or grab the list from your dashboard.
Sign up for free. Set up your clients, organize your monitors by client.
Add your monitors via the dashboard or CSV import. Set up status pages, alerts, and client portals.
