Our take
Pick Better Stack if on-call teams who will stay on Free at $0 (10 monitors, 1 status page, 3 GB logs) while they open a first Status page Structure, then buy a Responder seat at $29/month billed yearly ($34 monthly) when someone has to be paged. Pick Sentry if app teams who will stay on Developer at $0 (1 user, 50k errors) while they open a first Issues feed, then buy Team at $26 / month or Business at $80 / month
