Bugsnag vs Errbit: What are the differences?

Developers describe Bugsnag as "Bugsnag provides production error monitoring and management for front-end, mobile and back-end applications". Bugsnag captures errors from your web, mobile and back-end applications, providing instant visibility into user impact. Diagnostic data and tools are included to help your team prioritize, debug and fix exceptions fast. On the other hand, Errbit is detailed as "The open source error catcher that's Airbrake API compliant". Errbit is a tool for collecting and managing errors from other applications. It is Airbrake (formerly known as Hoptoad) API compliant, so if you are already using Airbrake, you can just point the airbrake gem to your Errbit server.

Bugsnag and Errbit belong to "Exception Monitoring" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Bugsnag are:

• Root cause error grouping
• Support for over 50 languages and platforms including JavaScript, iOS, Android, Python, Ruby and Java
• Real-time alerting to chat, email or SMS

On the other hand, Errbit provides the following key features:

• Your exceptions may contain sensitive data that you don't want sitting on someone else's server
• Your application is behind a firewall
• You'd like to brand your error catcher

"Lots of 3rd party integrations" is the primary reason why developers consider Bugsnag over the competitors, whereas "Airbrake compliant" was stated as the key factor in picking Errbit.

Errbit is an open source tool with 4.01K GitHub stars and 981 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Errbit's open source repository on GitHub.
