Comparison
Sorry™ (SorryApp) vs Better Stack
Sorry™ (SorryApp) lands on Depends, and Better Stack lands on Worth it.
Better Stack
Worth it
Confidence: Medium

| Compare | Sorry™ (SorryApp) | Better Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Worth it |
| Best for | SaaS teams needing public incident pages | Startups ditching Datadog bills |
| Who it's not for | Hobby or solo projects . a hosted status page is overkill | Enterprises needing Datadog-scale APM depth |
| Privacy | Publishes a security page, vulnerability disclosure policy, and automated scans; one legacy-plugin vulnerability was patched in Feb 2025.⁴ | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.14 |
| Support quality | No usable evidence either way | Superior support praised across multiple reviews |
| Public sentiment | Users say it does the job well, but independent public reviews are sparse.⁷ | Users consistently praise ease of implementation, support quality, and affordability versus Datadog. |
| Biggest gotcha | $99/month to start, no free tier, 7-day trial only . expensive for one status page¹ | Responders, monitor packs, status pages, heartbeats are priced separately . bills fragment |
