Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A charge displaying BETTER STACK* UPTIME on your credit card statement indicates an ongoing software subscription for Better Stack Uptime Monitoring & On-Call Alerts from Better Stack, Inc. Better Stack provides infrastructure observability tools used by software engineers and website administrators. The platform monitors website availability around the clock and sends urgent incident alerts to responders when servers crash.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears under descriptors such as BETTER STACK* UPTIME, BETTER UPTIME, or BETTER STACK INC. Recurring plans commonly start at $29 per month for the Freelancer tier, with higher monthly or annual pricing for team accounts. If you see this fee unexpectedly, an engineer or developer in your organization likely set up monitoring for a company website or app and tied your corporate card to the account. Charges also occur when a team upgrades to paid alert channels or exceeds log volume limits on Better Stack Telemetry.
Don’t recognize it? Common scenarios
- Unreviewed registry note: An ongoing uptime monitoring and SMS alert plan renewed on the engineering card.
- Unreviewed registry note: Additional team members were invited to the on-call schedule as paid responders.
