Switch from Better Stack

How the import works

1. Log in to Instatus or create a free account. The Better Stack importer opens automatically in your dashboard.
2. Paste your Better Stack API token. You can create one in Better Stack under Settings → API tokens.

3. Pick the status page to import if you have more than one.
4. Choose what to bring over: components, incidents, maintenances and subscribers.

5. To move your uptime checks too, open Monitors and import from Better Stack with the same token.

6. Pick the checks you want to bring over. Monitors and heartbeats both come across, and your monitors start checking right away.

Why switch from Better Stack to Instatus?

• Better Stack bundles its status page into a full observability platform priced per responder, so a team of five costs $145/month before extras
• Instatus is flat-rate with no per-member fees, and includes unlimited subscribers and teammates
• You still get 30-second uptime checks and incident response, in a product built around the status page
• The importer keeps your public incident history intact
