End of life / Alternatives / EOL Status
StackDrift vs EOL Status
EOL Status is end of life alerting with a free tier and webhook delivery. Both of these answer the same problem, which is software on your machines going out of support. The difference worth choosing on is where the list of what you run comes from. EOL Status works from a list you enter and keep current by hand. StackDrift has a command line tool that discovers what is actually installed on the machine.
What EOL Status does well
- A free tier, so the alerting costs nothing to start with.
- Webhook setup, so alerts can be routed into something you already watch.
- Alerts at 30, 14 and 7 days, plus an alert when a status changes.
Where StackDrift differs
- The alerts fire against the stack you enter. StackDrift has a command line tool that discovers what is actually installed on the machine, so a runtime nobody remembered installing is still covered.
- EOL Status has a free tier. StackDrift has none.
What each one costs
- EOL Status
- Has a free tier.
- StackDrift
- No free tier. A 14 day trial, and it takes a card.
Worth being straight about that trade, because it is the first thing anyone checks. Several of the products these pages compare us with are free or have a free tier, and StackDrift has neither. If a date and a reminder is all you need, you can have both for nothing, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise.
Which one you want
If what you want is a webhook into your own tooling, against a list you already maintain, EOL Status gives you that free. StackDrift is for when maintaining the list is the part that keeps failing.

The part a comparison table cannot answer for you
Every product on this page, StackDrift included, is only ever as right as the list of what you run. StackDrift scans your machines and works that list out for you, across every runtime, operating system and kernel underneath your code, then mails you before the next support window closes or a CVE lands on a build you have deployed.
A card is needed to open the trial and nothing is charged until it ends.
