What is Logtail?
Logtail was Better Stack's original log management product; it has since been merged into the unified Better Stack platform (alongside uptime monitoring and incident management) and is now branded Better Stack Logs. The legacy logtail.com domain now redirects into the Better Stack app.

Key capabilities
- Log ingestion: Collect logs from apps, servers and cloud services with structured, SQL-based querying.
- Live tail and alerts: Real-time log streaming with alert rules on log patterns.
- Bundled suite: Same account covers Better Stack's uptime monitoring and incident management.
Confirm current log retention limits and ingest-volume pricing, and decide whether you need the bundled uptime/incident features or only logging, since the product is now sold as part of the wider Better Stack suite.
Shortlist Better Stack Logs (formerly Logtail) when you want log management bundled with uptime monitoring and on-call/incident tooling from one vendor, rather than a standalone logging product.
The Logtail brand name is now legacy; evaluating it today means evaluating Better Stack Logs and its pricing/retention terms directly, not a standalone Logtail product.
