The Trade-off: Suite vs. Platform.

Better Stack is like separate apps.

You get dedicated tools for uptime, logs, and incidents. Each is good, but they don't talk to each other seamlessly.

Logdash is like a unified workspace.

Everything is designed to work together from day one. One dashboard, one mental model, one experience.

Do you want separate products, or do you want one cohesive platform?

Both are great choices.
We just think differently about integration.

Better Stack offers you best-of-breed products. Logdash offers you a unified experience. Try both and see which philosophy fits your workflow.
