GlitchTip
GlitchTip
Status: rejected (2026-06-20). Replaced by Sentry. Kept as a documented stub in case Sentry's quota or pricing model changes and the family wants to reconsider. The reasoning was straightforward: Sentry has the best integration coverage of any error tracker, and an env-var per-site toggle (
ENABLE_SENTRY) keeps us comfortably under the 5K events/month cap.
Role (historical)
Caught uncaught exceptions on every site. Wired in via the Sentry JS SDK pointing at GlitchTip's DSN.
Free tier
- 1,000 events / month (cloud-hosted)
- Unlimited projects
- Unlimited team members
- 30-day retention
- Self-hosting is free with no event cap
Card / subscription required?
NO. Cloud free tier needs email verification only.
Alternatives
- Sentry — current primary
- Bugsink
- Rollbar (5K errors)
Swap cost
Low — the Sentry JS SDK is the standard. Swap DSN, done.
Why this was previously our pick
Sentry-compatible API + open-source + self-hostable escape hatch if the cloud quota gets tight. Belt-and-braces. Superseded once the user locked Sentry as the single error tracker.
Cross-refs
- Sentry — current primary
