bughq vs Raygun
Raygun bundles crash reporting with application performance monitoring and real-user monitoring in one closed-source SaaS. If you want the whole performance suite in a single vendor, Raygun is broad. If you want focused error tracking you can host yourself on Postgres, bughq is leaner and open.
bughq and Raygun, side by side
Where Raygun still leads: real-user monitoring and performance tracing sit alongside crash reporting, so front-to-back performance lives in one place.
Why teams pick bughq
Own your data
Raygun is hosted only. bughq keeps crash and error data on your own Postgres, under your retention rules.
Just error tracking
If you are not buying the APM and RUM sides, that breadth is cost and surface area you do not use. bughq stays focused on errors.
Open source
bughq is open and self-hostable, so there is no vendor lock on where your error data lives or how it is processed.
Credit where it is due
Raygun’s strength is correlating crashes with performance and real-user data. bughq deliberately does not chase that; it is an error tracker, not an observability platform.
What bughq is
Open-source error and crash tracking you can run on your own Postgres, or use on a hosted tier. Automatic capture, fingerprint grouping, source-mapped traces, releases, and alerts, without the rest of an observability suite.
