Netwarden vs Bugsink
Bugsink is an error tracker that accepts Sentry's SDKs and runs as a single Docker container, self-hosted for free or managed by Bugsink with data in the EU. It focuses on errors. Netwarden takes the same SDKs and also stores traces, logs and cron check-ins.
Free for one project and 50K events a month.
