About GlitchTip
What is GlitchTip?
GlitchTip is an open source error tracking, performance monitoring, and uptime checking platform. It collects every error from your application in real time, organizes them for triage, and sends alerts when you need them. Designed as a simpler, affordable alternative to Sentry, GlitchTip is compatible with Sentry client SDKs but easier to self-host or use as a hosted service.
Who is it for?
GlitchTip is built for software developers, small to medium engineering teams, and open-source projects that value simplicity, affordability, and data control. It is ideal for teams monitoring web apps, APIs, or services that need error tracking without a complex setup or high cost. It is less suited for large enterprises that require advanced analytics dashboards or extensive customization out of the box.
Key capabilities and use cases
GlitchTip lets you track error exceptions, log messages, and Content Security Policy violations from one dashboard. Its performance monitoring finds slow web requests and database calls without manual dashboard building. Uptime monitoring pings your site and alerts you via email or webhook when it goes down. You can also store and search application logs alongside errors for faster debugging. Use cases include monitoring a SaaS product in production, keeping a personal project stable, or ensuring a client website stays online.
Why choose GlitchTip?
GlitchTip stands out for being open source (view and modify the code), compatible with Sentry SDKs (easy migration), and priced transparently with a free forever plan. You can run it on your own server for maximum control or let the GlitchTip team host it. The team behind it, Burke Software and Consulting, focuses on simplicity and affordability.
