Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Healthchecks.io at $5/mo, against Better Stack at $34/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: both publish one — a plan priced at zero, not a trial. What each caps differs.
- How far each ladder goes: Better Stack tops out at $34/mo, Healthchecks.io at $80/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
