Phare is trusted by 700+ startups, agencies, and SMBs
Phare is bootstrapped, cost-effective alternative to Better Stack uptime, with no feature gating, and refreshingly VC-free.
“Better Stack Uptime is delightful to use, with an extensive feature set. If you can pay the hefty price tag, it’s a great choice.”
Nicolas Beauvais
Founder, Phare
* Phare does not make enough money to buy swag hats, so I made this one with MS paint.

All features available on the free plan. No need to upgrade just to unlock basic functionality like 30-second intervals or status pages.
Collaborate with your entire team without paying per seat. Invite as many team members as you need at no extra cost.
Get help directly from the founder who built the product. No ticket queues, no automated responses, just real help from someone who cares.

European-based, GDPR-compliant, zero tracking. Your data stays yours. No selling to big tech, no marketing trackers.
“Phare provides a nice and clean UI, actually the best that I have seen for a monitoring tool so far. But you got many more features, like a status page with custom domain, own alert rules and alerting from different regions.”

Most of them are great, some arguably better than Phare, but when it comes to vibe they all fall short.
