How is Oh Dear different from BetterStack?

Betterstack provides uptime, observability, incident and log tools for development teams. It has scheduling, escalation and on-call features to help monitor ongoing issues. Oh Dear is a simpler, more affordable alternative for monitoring your entire website - we also provide integrations with PagerDuty, OpsGenie, Slack and many more to help keep your SRE teams informed.
