Self-hosted error tracking with
the Sentry SDKs you already use
Error trackers have become powerful tools that monitor everything.
They’re also complicated and expensive. Somewhere along the way, the
point got lost. You want to know what broke, fix it, and move on.
Telebugs brings that clarity back.

I was dreaming of Telebugs before I even knew it existed.
I simply love the Telebugs approach of pay Once (pun intended).
Installation was a breeze. The application is nicely designed,
quick and the UI is simple.
Telebugs is a refreshingly simple, installable
error tracking system and a
drop-in Sentry alternative that collects, groups, and notifies you
about errors in your applications.
Run it on your server and point the
Sentry SDKs you already use at it.
Your applications keep reporting errors the same way. The difference is
where those reports go, who controls the data, and how much software you
have to run.
Sentry has grown into a platform for errors, performance, code
coverage, and more. That makes sense when you use all of it. But a
broad hosted platform can mean recurring usage bills for features you
may not need every day. Telebugs is for teams that would rather keep
the job small. It sticks to errors. Less to learn. Less to run. Less
to think about. The smaller scope is not a limitation. It is the
point.
Telebugs has been great to work with — much easier than
Sentry. Going from ~60 containers, 20Gb RAM, 12 vCPUs with
Sentry on-prem … to a simpler, faster tool with 4Gb of RAM and
2 vCPUs has been frankly liberating. I really appreciate the
simplicity and speed.
Install the Telebugs PWA on your phone or desktop and get push
notifications even when the browser is closed. Prefer another
channel? Use email, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, or webhooks, with
notification rules to control
what reaches your team.
Connect Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, or another MCP
client. It can inspect real reports and help you fix the bug.

As your primary error tracker. Had enough of
bloated, subscription-based tools? Telebugs is here to help. Pay
once, host it yourself, and track errors without the headaches.
For agencies and consultants. One install for all your
client projects. Isolated data per client, no Telebugs event quotas, and easy
handoff when they’re ready to take over.
For regulated industries.
Healthcare, finance, and government teams can keep sensitive
error data on their own infrastructure and under their own
retention policies.
For bootstrapped companies. Eliminate a monthly
expense that grows with your success. Error tracking shouldn’t eat
into your margins as you scale.
Because Telebugs is self-hosted software, you’ll need a few things to
get started:
A domain name. You’ll need to configure your DNS to
point to the IP address of the server where Telebugs will run.
A server with internet access and Docker support.
This can be your own machine, a virtual private server (VPS) like
DigitalOcean, or a cloud service like AWS. The minimum specs are 1GB
of RAM and 1 CPU core.
Some basic technical skills. We’ll give you a
single terminal command to run on your server, and it’ll handle
everything from setup to generating an SSL certificate (including
installing Docker if it's not already present).
Yes. Telebugs is $299 USD once: no Telebugs subscription, event quota,
project limit, or teammate seat fee. You buy the software and run it
on your server; your practical limit is your infrastructure and
retention policy. To compare that model with public Sentry usage rates,
build a longer-term cost estimate.
I’ve never used Sentry. Can I still use Telebugs?
Yes. Telebugs is a standalone error tracker that works with any
application capable of sending errors to a server. Sentry SDK
compatibility makes setup easier, and you can also write a custom
integration when needed. No Sentry experience is required.
Does everyone need to purchase or install it?
Not at all. Only one person, whether it’s you, your IT admin, or
someone else, needs to buy Telebugs, download it, and set it up on a
server (yours or a shared one). Once it’s installed, your entire team
can access it through their browsers or phones, just like any other
collaborative tool. No extra purchases or downloads required. For
infrastructure review, see security and trust
and installation expectations.
Can one Telebugs installation track multiple company apps?
Yes, one Telebugs installation can track errors from all your
company’s apps. Just send errors to the same instance on your licensed
domain. No extra licenses needed. One setup, all apps covered.
How do updates work? Do they cost extra?
When internet access is available, Telebugs can check once a day for
updates and install eligible 1.x releases automatically. You can
disable automatic updates and update manually if your environment
requires tighter network control. Updates within the same major
version (like 1.0 to 1.1) are free. A future major version may be a
separate paid upgrade, and you can decide whether to take it.
Do you offer refunds?
Because Telebugs is downloadable source software, purchases are not
refundable after delivery. Use the public demo or request a private
demo before purchase if your team needs hands-on evaluation.
