Better Stack vs statusas.lt
Better Stack and statusas.lt side by side: 13 locations checked in parallel, data kept in Lithuania, VAT invoices in euros, and no add-on fees for status pages or subscribers.
TL;DR: statusas.lt checks from 13 locations at once, keeps your data in Lithuania and issues a VAT invoice in euros. Better Stack is a broader platform with log management, billed in dollars, with some status-page protections sold as add-ons.
Both tools do uptime monitoring with a status page. The difference starts with what they were built for: Better Stack is a broad observability platform with logs and on-call schedules; statusas.lt does two things — uptime monitoring and status pages — for the Lithuanian market.
The technical difference you will notice first is scheduling. We check from every selected location at the same time, so a check gives you one picture: who can reach your service and who cannot. Cycling locations one at a time is cheaper to run, but the picture is stitched from different minutes.
The second difference is accounting. Our price is in euros, you pay by card, and every payment produces a VAT invoice with your company details. A dollar invoice from a foreign vendor means reverse charge and an exchange rate every month.

Frequently asked questions
Is statusas.lt a good Better Stack alternative?
Yes, if what you need is uptime monitoring and a status page. We check from 13 locations at once, keep the data in Lithuania, issue VAT invoices and support you in Lithuanian. If you also need log management, Better Stack covers more.
Can I migrate my monitors automatically?
Monitors can be described in a YAML file and pushed with one CLI command, so the move is not a manual re-entry of every endpoint.
What is the difference between parallel and round-robin checks?
Parallel means every selected location runs at the same moment, so you can tell a global outage from a regional one. Cycling locations one at a time gives you neighbouring minutes from different places and no single picture.
