Overview

Bugsink is an error tracker that shows the stacktrace, code and local variables behind each production failure. It accepts events from Sentry's open-source SDKs, so existing clients connect by changing the DSN. It groups related errors into issues, alerts on them, supports search by release, environment or user, and applies sourcemaps to minified code.

Best for: Teams on Sentry SDKs wanting error tracking on their own servers or EU-hosted at fixed cost
Pricing: Free evaluation tier for 15K monthly events, then hosted plans at €16, €50 and €158 per month for 75K, 600K and 3M events, rising to €568 (15M) and €1,288 (50M); self-hosted pricing is not shown in the captured text.
Runs on: Self-hosted
