Honeybadger
What it is
Honeybadger combines production error tracking with structured logging, application performance monitoring, uptime checks, cron monitoring, and status pages for web applications. Error tracking offers real-time alerts, grouping, search, and event context. Honeybadger Insights lets teams query structured logs and follow events across requests, jobs, and services. Uptime monitoring checks websites and services, while cron monitoring reports failed or missed scheduled check-ins. The service works through web and API platforms and lists Ruby, JavaScript, Node, Go, Elixir, Python, and PHP among supported languages. Integrations include Slack, GitHub, PagerDuty, Jira, Datadog, and more than 30 other tools. New accounts receive a 30-day trial with collaboration features, unlimited users, and no credit card requirement. The free Developer plan includes 5,000 errors per month, one uptime monitor, one status page, one user, and 15 days of error retention. Team costs $26 a month, while Business costs $80 a month. Honeybadger states that it is SOC 2 Type II certified, complies with GDPR, and supports HIPAA through a standard BAA.
