Comparison

booboo.dev vs Sentry

Two error trackers, two different sweet spots. We used Sentry and built booboo when the bigger tool started feeling like overkill for small teams. Here's the honest read on where each one wins.

Why teams pick booboo

  • AI explanations on every error, every plan. Including free. Not gated behind a paid add-on.
  • EU-hosted by default. Helpful when customers, regulators, or procurement ask where the data lives.
  • One number per pricing tier. Events. That's it. No juggling transactions, replays, spans, profile durations, attachments, or whatever Sentry's added this quarter.
  • Hard cap by default. Predictable bill, no surprise overages, no calls from finance.
  • Half the price of Sentry's Team plan for the same 50K events.
  • Designed to fit in your head. Small teams stay productive — no dedicated platform person needed to configure rules, releases, and dashboards.

If you need APM, session replay, or self-hosting, Sentry's a great fit and we'll happily point you there. For everything else, booboo wins.

Switching from Sentry

No big-bang migration. Run both for a week, then drop the one you don't want.

  1. 1

    Install our SDK alongside Sentry's

    Two more lines of code. Both SDKs capture the same unhandled exceptions independently.

  2. 2

    Compare for a week in production

    You'll see the same errors in both dashboards. Check the AI Triage on every booboo issue. See if it earns its keep.

  3. 3

    Switch off Sentry

    Delete two lines of code, cancel the Sentry subscription, you're done. Both SDKs are safe in production and add minimal overhead during the trial week.
