Side by side

What it does

Mobile app monitoring for crashes, ANRs, bugs and performance on Android, iOS, Flutter and React Native, as an alternative to Firebase Crashlytics.

Collects and groups application errors in real time, links them to deploys, and alerts the team.

Watch out

Younger and less proven than Crashlytics or Sentry.

Overlaps heavily with Sentry, which has a larger ecosystem; compare before committing.
