Matt Turley, Continuum. Updated 2026-11-05.
We sell Continuum Keep it running, so we say where the other options fit better. Links to other companies go to their own sites and carry no affiliate codes.
No single error tracker is best for everyone. Better Stack suits small teams that want uptime checks, on-call alerts and error tracking from one vendor. LogRocket suits teams that mainly need frontend session replay tied to errors. PostHog suits teams that want product analytics, replay and error tracking under one usage-based bill. Rollbar suits teams that want error-only tracking with a small free tier. One more is covered below. The list is alphabetical and is not a ranking.
This covers tools a small team uses to learn that an app is down or throwing errors. We only feature a tool when a page owned by the vendor backs our description of it, and we leave out products that have shut down.
We do not rank them. Each entry says what the sources report, where it falls short, and who it suits, so you can match one to your own situation. Where a competitor of ours is the better fit, we say so.
We read each source on 2026-11-05. Prices and limits change often, so confirm on the vendor's own page before you buy. A figure marked "one source only" was not matched by a second publisher.

Open the vendor pricing page for your shortlist before you decide, since plans change.
We make Continuum Keep it running. Weigh what we say here with that in mind. The tools above are the better choice when you want software you run yourself; ours is the better choice when you want a person to do or read the work.
A monthly retainer where a person handles monitoring, security and dependency patching, and incident triage for an app.[7]
