Honeybadger vs Rollbar
Developers love Honeybadger for our simple user interface, comprehensive application monitoring, and stellar support.
Your observability toolkit
Everything you need to keep prod running smoothly
Paying for several different services to get the job done? As a small team of full-stack developers ourselves, we got tired of piecing together the perfect monitoring stack. That's why Honeybadger includes everything you need—and nothing you don't.
Here's a breakdown of Rollbar's features vs. Honeybadger's:
| Honeybadger | Rollbar | |
|---|---|---|
| Midrange Price | $297/mo | $299/mo |
| Error Tracking | ||
| Performance Monitoring | ||
| Uptime Monitoring | ||
| Status Pages | ||
| Cron & Heartbeat Monitoring | ||
| Log Management | ||
| # Users | unlimited | unlimited |
| # Projects | unlimited | unlimited |
| # Errors | 1.8M/mo | 1.5M/mo |
| # Log events | Starts at 50MB/day | n/a |
| Error Retention | 90 days | 90 days |
Simple, predicatable pricing
Monthly overages got you down? Honeybadger's pricing is transparent and forgiving. We don't charge for overages or extra users, and if you accidentally exceed your monthly plan limits (it happens), just email us—we'll absorb the cost.
“One weekend we sent them 100,000 errors and just got a polite email. Class act.”

Sweta: We’re gearing up for a big product launch in a week and we hit our limit from doing some load testing. We do need exceptions through the rest of the month. What do you advise here?
Josh: Hi Sweta, I've suspended limit checks on your account for the rest of this month, so you shouldn't get cut off if you go over your limit. Just go easy on us. 😁
If you need more errors regularly, I'd recommend upgrading to one of our higher-volume plans.
Good luck with the launch!
Sweta: Wow Josh, thanks SO MUCH!! You and I are on the same team, hope the volume isn’t MUCH higher hahah. Happy weekend!
Monitor your applications, not your costs
When you switch, you'll save $2/month and get 300K more errors—and that doesn't even include the savings from all the other services Honeybadger replaces.
Here's a hypothetical cost breakdown:

Happy to help! And thanks for letting me know it (mostly) worked. I guess I have some debugging to do on that environment variable. :)
One last thing... make sure you run this to get Vector to start after a reboot:
sudo systemctl enable vector.service
I put that in the gist after I sent the last email to you, so you may have done that already, but you may not have, and it doesn't hurt to do it twice. :)
Oh, and about the log prefix you mentioned... look in config/environments/production.rb for config.log_tags and comment that out. That's probably what's adding that stuff to your logs.
