Oh Dear vs the competition

What we have that BetterStack doesn't

1. AI-powered monitoring

Use natural language to verify anything on your pages. Check if forms work, content loads correctly, or validate complex page states. BetterStack doesn't offer this.

2. Full site crawling

We crawl your entire site daily to find broken links, mixed content, and sitemap issues. BetterStack only monitors the specific endpoints you configure.

3. Lighthouse audits

Automated Core Web Vitals, SEO, accessibility, and performance tracking. Get alerted when scores drop before they impact rankings. BetterStack doesn't include this.
