Replaces Sentry
European alternatives to Sentry
Error tracking for applications, hosted in Europe
Browse the category: Error tracking services
Sentry collects errors and exceptions from applications and groups them into issues, with the stack trace, the release, browser or server details and the breadcrumbs that led up to a failure. Development teams use it to notice a broken deploy before users report it, and to decide which crash deserves attention first. The core is open source alongside the hosted service.
Crash reports are rarely anonymous: stack traces carry request parameters, user identifiers and sometimes fragments of personal data that nobody intended to send. That makes an error tracker a processor like any other, and one that privacy reviews often overlook. A European alternative to Sentry closes that gap. Bugsink and GlitchTip can be self hosted, while AppSignal and Bugfender are managed services from European companies.

Our pickBugsink
Sentry compatible error tracking from the Netherlands
Bugsink is an error tracker from the Netherlands that you can either self-host or use as a managed service. It works with the Sentry SDKs, so existing instrumentation keeps working, and it groups issues, sends real time alerts and shows detailed stack traces including code and local variables.
Self-hosted and open source
Open source projects you can run yourself. Not necessarily made in Europe, but nobody else holds your data.
Questions
Can I keep my existing Sentry SDK?
Bugsink and GlitchTip are designed to receive events from Sentry compatible clients, so in many projects only the endpoint changes. Confirm which SDK versions and event types each one supports.
Which European alternative to Sentry can I self host?
Bugsink and GlitchTip are the two aimed at running on your own infrastructure. That keeps crash data inside your network, at the cost of maintaining the service.
Is there an option that covers more than errors?
AppSignal combines error tracking with performance monitoring, and Bugfender focuses on logging from mobile applications. Flare is another European option worth comparing.
