Companies Using Better Stack

I've spent most of my career on crawlers, and Better Stack is one of the few detections that says more about a company's operations than about its website. A domain counts here when one of its pages loads a script from Better Stack (betterstack.com, betterstack.net or the older betteruptime.com). As of our October 2026 crawl that's 3,352 domains, 2,156 of them matched to a company, 16th of the 58 tools we track in APM & Error Tracking. Most of those pages are status pages, hosted by Better Stack on the customer's own subdomain.

What a detection means

The status page product works like this: you add one CNAME record and status.yourdomain.com shows your uptime and incidents. 13 of the 14 status hosts I looked up resolve to statuspage.betteruptime.com, a host still carrying Better Stack's old name. Splitting the live domains by what they load, about 88% are status pages like that. About 225 load Better Stack's JavaScript tag, its error-tracking and session-replay script, on the company's own site, and 112 only embed a status widget. I also pulled 12 live hostnames at random: 10 were status pages hosted by Better Stack and two were customer apps carrying the JavaScript tag.

Sales signal: a Better Stack detection says the company runs a product whose users need to know when it's down. That's a SaaS or platform company with an on-call habit, which qualifies a lead better than most website tags do.

Growth trajectory

The chart reads 166 domains in June 2026, 200 in July, 2,254 in August, 3,281 in September and 3,352 in October. Don't read August as a stampede. The set of domains we crawl turns over every month, with dead sites dropping out and new ones added, and our detection signals widen over time, so the step reflects changes on our side rather than a surge in adoption. Churn is the number I'd watch. Since we started tracking Better Stack on 16 March 2026, 75 domains have dropped it, and 19 of those still show it on another hostname.

"A status page is one of the last things a SaaS company moves. Once customers have bookmarked status.yourcompany.com, changing it means telling every one of them." - David Thomson, CTO at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: treat these 3,352 domains as an installed base, not a pool of switchers. With 75 drops in seven months, selling a replacement status page into this list will be slow work.

Who publishes a Better Stack status page

Software companies, and young ones. Software Development is 29.66% of matched companies, Technology, Information and Internet 19.06% and IT services 9.89%. 65.44% have 1 to 10 employees and only 3 have more than 1,000. Age is the striking part: 53.82% were founded in the 2020s, while the median 2020s share across the 554 technology profiles we publish is 17.51%. The best-known names are SaaS and developer brands, among them Hugging Face, HoneyBook, Tally, Fingerprint, SEON, QA Wolf, Trezor and the Eclipse Foundation, each on its own status subdomain. The exceptions are older companies using a different product. Gardner White, a Michigan furniture retailer founded in 1912, and Swanson Vitamins load Better Stack's JavaScript tag on their shops, and Jyske Finans, a Danish finance company, shows its status widget on its homepage.

Sales signal: for developer tools, this is close to a ready-made list of young SaaS companies with production incidents to manage. Filter on a 2020s founding year and 11 to 50 staff to find teams at the size where on-call stops being one founder's phone.

Where they are

The United States has 762 matched companies, the United Kingdom 176, the Netherlands 92, Germany 89, France 86 and Canada 74. Add up the ten European countries in the top 15 and you get 609, not far short of the US. Czechia has 24, and Better Stack's careers page places its open roles in Prague. India (66) and Brazil (44) are the largest markets outside North America and Europe, and two Brazilian beauty brands, Contém1g and Sallve, run the JavaScript tag on their own shops.

Sales signal: European companies make up a large share of this list, and most of them already publish their incident history in public. For incident-response or compliance tooling sold in Europe, that openness is a useful qualifier.

No switching corridor

We test Better Stack against Sentry, Datadog and New Relic for switching, and none of the pairs passes. No flow in either direction tops 23 domains, and most domains ever seen with Better Stack and Sentry still run both. That overlap isn't a choice the customer made. Better Stack's status-page app loads Sentry's open-source browser SDK and reports into Better Stack's own error tracking, which its product page describes as Sentry-compatible. So the Sentry signal arrives with the status page.

"Nearly every Better Stack status page also shows up as Sentry in a crawl. That's Better Stack's own app using Sentry's SDK, not a customer paying Sentry." - David Thomson, CTO at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: if you sell error tracking, don't assume a Better Stack status-page customer already pays for Sentry. Check the company's main site on its own.

The stack around it

Percentages here are of the 3,547 live Better Stack domains in our crawl. The top rows belong to Better Stack, not the customer: Google Analytics on 96.11% and Ruby on Rails on 87.57%. Every status page I opened carried the same Google Analytics property and the same Google Ads tag, Better Stack's own, on a Rails app with Turbo. Microsoft Advertising and Google Ads conversion tracking each sit near 88% for the same reason. The customers' own websites show up further down, because we read the stack per domain: Next.js on 43.05%, Vercel on 27.74%, Astro on 7.64% and Plausible on 5.47%.

Sales signal: to profile a Better Stack customer, skip the tags on its status page and read the main site. Next.js, often on Vercel, is the most common setup.

What it costs

Better Stack's pricing page (checked 12 October 2026) has a free plan with 10 monitors and one status page. A responder licence costs $29 a month billed annually or $34 month to month, extra status pages $12 or $15 a month each, and removing the "Powered by Better Stack" footer $208 or $250 per page a month. Of the 70 status pages we opened from our company list, 7 had no footer: Bright Software Group, the Eclipse Foundation, Online Payment Platform, Hospitable, Wobot, Clerk.io and Profound.

Sales signal: a white-labelled status page is a cheap spend signal to check. At list price, removing the footer costs $2,496 to $3,000 a year per page, paid for branding alone.

Key takeaways

1. 3,352 domains, about 88% of them status pages hosted by Better Stack.

2. A young, small base: 53.82% founded in the 2020s and 65.44% with 1 to 10 staff.

3. Very little churn: 75 drops since March 2026, 19 of them still live on another hostname.

4. The Google Analytics, Rails and Sentry signals on these domains are Better Stack's own.

5. 0.12% of APM & Error Tracking understates it; Atlassian Statuspage, at 7,212 domains, is the fairer comparison.
