Bottom line
Better Stack is a genuinely excellent product. If you need on-call rotation, advanced escalation policies, or a big enterprise team — it's worth the price. If you're a solo founder or small SaaS team who wants 1-minute checks and a clean status page, $24/mo is hard to justify when StillUp does the same for $9.
