Airbrake vs Rollbar: What are the differences?
Airbrake: Airbrake captures and groups errors in Ruby, iOS, Django, PHP & more. Airbrake collects errors for your applications in all major languages and frameworks. We alert you to new errors and give you critical context, trends and details needed to find and fix errors fast; Rollbar: Full-stack error monitoring for developers. Rollbar helps development teams find and fix errors faster. Quickly pinpoint what’s broken and why. View exceptions from all of your languages, frameworks, platforms & environments in one place. Get context & insights to defeat all errors.
Airbrake and Rollbar can be categorized as "Exception Monitoring" tools.
Some of the features offered by Airbrake are:
- Dupe Detection- Developers will only receive an email once when an error occurs — rather than getting buried under an error email avalanche.
- Auto Resolve- An action on each application deployment — that way developers can focus on the problems that exist today, not the ones from last month.
- Github Aware- Airbrake is github-aware, and can link code in your Airbrake error stack traces to the corresponding locations on github.
On the other hand, Rollbar provides the following key features:
- Errors get queued, de-duped, grouped and prioritized
- View detailed stack traces with local variables
- JavaScript source map support
"Reliable" is the top reason why over 26 developers like Airbrake, while over 70 developers mention "Consolidates similar errors by impact" as the leading cause for choosing Rollbar.

Rollbar has a broader approval, being mentioned in 479 company stacks & 115 developers stacks; compared to Airbrake, which is listed in 91 company stacks and 22 developer stacks.
