Earlier this year, we at Listen Notes switched to Better Stack [0], replacing both Datadog and PagerDuty, and we couldn’t be happier :) Datadog offers a rich set of features, and as a public company, it makes sense for them to keep expanding their product and pushing larger contracts. But as a small team, we don't have a strong demand for constant new features. By switching to Better Stack, we were able to cut our monitoring and alerting costs by 90%, with basically the same things that we used from Datadog previously.
