Why teams choose InfraNest over Better Stack
Fix it, not just hear about it
An alert tells you which domain, certificate or server is behind it, and you can change the DNS record, renew the domain or restart the server right there.
No price per responder
Up to 10 team members on Business for one price. Adding a colleague does not change the bill.
No limit on subscribers
As many people as you like can follow your status page, on every plan. Better Stack charges $40 a month for every 1,000 after the first.
Status pages without add-ons
Your own domain from Pro. Private and password-protected pages on Business, with no limit on subscribers.
More than monitoring
All of this is included in every plan, also on Free. Better Stack does not manage any of it.
Domains
All your domains from every registrar in one list, with expiry dates, renewals and settings. Compare renewal prices across your registrars.
DomainsDNS
Edit DNS records at every provider from one screen. InfraNest warns you when someone changes a record somewhere else.
DNSCertificates
Every SSL certificate found and watched until it expires, and checked that the new one is really in use.
CertificatesCloud servers
All servers from all your clouds in one list, with the real monthly cost and how much memory and disk they use.
Cloud serversFirewalls
