booboo.dev — the Sentry alternative

booboo.dev: the Sentry alternative
that tells you what's actually wrong.

Every error gets a one-sentence diagnosis, ranked likely causes, and concrete next steps — on every plan, including the free one. EU-hosted by default. No overage bills, ever.

The wedge

Stop reading stack traces. Read the diagnosis.

Other tools hand you a stack trace and wish you luck. booboo runs every new issue through an AI engineer that gives you the one-sentence summary, ranks the likely causes, and tells you what to try first.

OPEN production
OperationalError
connection to server at "db.prod.internal" (10.0.4.21), port 5432 failed
views.py in get_dashboard
AI Triage generated in 1.4s
SUMMARY

The database connection failed mid-request. This pattern — intermittent connection failures from a healthy app — almost always means pool exhaustion under load, not a code bug.

Real issue High confidence Systemic
LIKELY CAUSES
  • Connection pool exhausted during a traffic spike
  • Database briefly unreachable (network blip or restart)
  • Pool size too small for current request concurrency
TRY FIRST
  • Check DB CPU and connection count at the error timestamp
  • Verify CONN_MAX_AGE and pool size in Django DATABASES config
  • If recurring under load, raise pool size or enable connection retries

Powered by Claude. Runs on every new issue automatically. Included on the free plan.

Three reasons teams switch from Sentry

Lower bill, no surprise overages

€18/mo for 50,000 events. Sentry's Team plan is $26 for the same — and Seer (their AI triage) is a paid add-on on top. We hard-cap by default — when you hit your limit, ingestion pauses until next cycle. No emails from finance about a four-figure overage.

AI on every plan. Not a paid add-on.

Sentry's Seer costs extra. Our AI Triage is the default — on every issue, on every plan, including the free one. Summary, ranked causes, next steps, noise classification, confidence score. Built into the product, not bolted on.

EU data residency by default

All event data, accounts, and backups live in the EU. No US fallbacks, no sub-processors outside the bloc for storage. Helpful when procurement, legal, or regulators ask where your error data ends up.

Less noise

Stop chasing favicon 404s and bot scanners.

Every issue gets pre-classified before the AI even reads it. Bot traffic, scanner probes, and bogus user-agent errors get flagged as noise so you can filter them out — instead of getting paged for them at 3am.

Real issue
IntegrityError: duplicate key value violates unique constraint
Your signup flow has a race condition. Action required.
Likely noise
DisallowedHost: Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'admin.php'
Scanner traffic. Auto-flagged. Filter from your inbox.
Likely noise
Http404: /wp-login.php not found
Bot probing for WordPress. Not your problem.

Switch in an afternoon. No big-bang migration.

Run both SDKs in parallel for a week. Compare. Then delete two lines of Sentry code and cancel the subscription.

  1. 1

    Install our SDK alongside Sentry's

    Two more lines of code. Both SDKs capture the same unhandled exceptions independently — neither one steals from the other.

  2. 2

    Compare for a week in production

    You'll see the same errors in both dashboards. Read the AI Triage on every booboo issue. Decide whether it earns its keep.

  3. 3

    Switch off Sentry

    Delete the two lines, cancel the subscription, you're done. No data migration needed — error tracking is forward-looking.

Where Sentry still wins

We don't ship APM, session replay, or self-hosting. If those are load-bearing for your team, Sentry's the right call and we'll happily say so. booboo.dev is for teams that want tight, opinionated error tracking — and the AI work to go with it.
