How Telebugs compares to BugSnag

Look at the work between reports and fixes

BugSnag combines error reports with stability scores and release dashboards. You can compare versions of an application and see whether a new release is healthier than the last. It also offers performance monitoring.

In Telebugs, we put care into the trip from an error report to the code that caused it. Read the backtrace and context, then open the relevant file and line in your connected repository or local editor. Move between reports with the keyboard. Those everyday steps deserve as much design attention as the overview.

Telebugs doesn’t replace BugSnag’s stability scoring or performance tools. If those help you decide whether to roll out a release, keep that requirement in the comparison.

Both can run on your infrastructure

BugSnag On-premise runs in Kubernetes, with Replicated KOTS managing the installation. It supports high-availability and single-node clusters. The single-node option is smaller, but it still uses Kubernetes, and its documented memory requirement starts at 32 GiB.

Self-hosted Telebugs runs in one Docker container with SQLite. Its installer configures Docker and HTTPS on a prepared Linux server; you don’t need a Kubernetes cluster or a separate database service for the standard setup. It’s paid, source-available software, not open source.

Telebugs also includes commands to make a verified backup and restore the captured app version with its data and recovery configuration. Backing up briefly pauses the app, and you need to store a secure copy off the server. Both products give you control of the installation, along with responsibility for updates, backups, security, and storage.

Managed Telebugs is available if you want us to operate a private instance instead, including updates and backups. That is managed hosting, not an installation on your own infrastructure.

Compare the licenses and the upkeep

BugSnag On-premise is arranged through its enterprise team. Its public cloud event allowances aren’t an on-premise quote. Ask for the license, usage terms, support coverage, and renewal terms for the installation you intend to run.

Telebugs doesn’t charge by error, project, or teammate. Self-hosting means buying a perpetual license, with the first year of updates and email support included and optional annual renewal after that. Managed is a monthly subscription.

When you email support, you reach Kyrylo, Telebugs’ founder and developer. He helps with installation, configuration, using the app, and upgrades on business days. You can discuss the software with the person who writes it.

Your instance’s capacity and retention settings still set the practical limit. Compare the license and support costs alongside the infrastructure and maintenance each installation needs. Our pricing page has Telebugs’ current terms.

Check the reports your application depends on

BugSnag’s SDKs aren’t drop-in Telebugs clients. You’ll need a supported Sentry SDK, and custom reporting calls and context need to be carried over. Check your language and framework, especially if you depend on native crash reports or symbolication. Don’t assume matching platform names mean matching support.

Old issues, discussions, and alert settings don’t automatically move. Test representative errors and notifications before changing the rest of your applications.

With Telebugs, you get an installation you can run without Kubernetes and support from the person building the app. Try it with one application. Look up an error, follow it into the code, and work through the fix before moving the rest.
