RealUptime Errors vs Rollbar

Rollbar pairs error tracking with real analytics depth: a SQL-like query language, deploy tracking, client telemetry, and bundled session replay, priced on sliding event volume with a separately metered AI-credits layer on top. RealUptime Errors trades that depth for simplicity: issues, releases, and tags at a flat monthly price with a fixed allowance.

The short version

Rollbar is the deeper analytics tool, with a query language and metered add-ons; RealUptime Errors is the flat-priced, no-surprises option.

Rollbar is a capable tool once you are past the free tier: RQL, deploy analytics, and telemetry give a team real investigative depth, and we offer none of them. What we offer instead is a price you can predict: a fixed event and retention envelope per tier, no volume slider, no separately metered credit system, and scrubbing on by default in the SDKs. If your team needs a query language over its errors, Rollbar is the better fit. If you want error tracking that is simple to budget and lives beside your uptime checks and status page in one account, that is us.

Free tier

Have

10,000 events a month, 14-day retention

Partial

5,000 error events a month on the free plan

Flat, predictable monthly price

Have

$0, $23.99, or $58.99 a month; no metered add-ons

Don’t have

prices slide with event volume, and AI-assisted features are billed through a separately metered credits system, per Rollbar's own pricing explainer

Overage without per-event billing

Have

the free tier is a hard cap; paid tiers offer opt-in metered overage you switch on yourself, never by default

Partial

customer-selected modes: a default stop that drops events past quota, or on-demand per-occurrence billing

Query language, telemetry, and session replay

Don’t have

deliberately out of scope; triage here is issues, releases, and tags

Have

RQL querying, client telemetry breadcrumbs, deploy tracking, and session replay on paid plans

Data scrubbing on by default

Have

SDKs drop authorization headers, cookies, and card- and token-shaped strings before the event leaves your process

Have

default scrub fields (passwords, secrets, auth tokens) documented per SDK
