RealUptime Errors vs GlitchTip
GlitchTip is an open-source, Sentry-API-compatible error tracker you can self-host for free or use hosted at a low per-event price. It is honest, simple software and this page treats it that way. RealUptime Errors is hosted-only, flat-priced, and part of a family that also covers uptime monitoring and status pages, with sensitive-data scrubbing on by default in our own SDKs.
Open-source, self-hostable code
Don’t have
hosted only today
Have
MIT-licensed; run it yourself for free with Docker
Sentry SDK compatibility
Don’t have
our own SDKs for JavaScript, Go, PHP, Python, and Ruby; not a Sentry drop-in
Have
accepts events from existing Sentry SDKs; switching is a DSN change
Free tier (hosted)
Have
10,000 events a month, 14-day retention
Have
a free hosted tier with a monthly event allowance
Data scrubbing on by default
Have
SDKs drop authorization headers, cookies, and card- and token-shaped strings before events leave your process; the server applies the same rules again
Partial
inherits whatever scrubbing the Sentry SDK you point at it is configured to do
Uptime monitoring and status pages in the same account
Have
RealUptime Monitor and RealUptime Status share the account; errors, checks, and the public page live together
Partial
GlitchTip ships basic uptime monitoring; there is no public status page product
