- EU-hosted by default. All event data, accounts, and backups stored in the EU. Rollbar's own Data Transfer Impact Assessment names the US as the sole storage destination for EEA data — helpful context when customers, regulators, or procurement ask where the data lives.
- AI explanations on every error, every plan. Including free. No metered credits to ration — a summary, ranked likely causes, and try-first steps on any issue.
- Flat pricing with a hard cap. One number per tier, ingestion stops at the quota, never an overage charge.
- Uptime monitors included. Down and recovery alerts through the same Slack, Discord, and webhook integrations — no second tool, and monitor checks don't consume your event quota.
Comparison
booboo.dev vs Rollbar
Rollbar is a solid error tracker at a fair price — no takedown here. The real differences are where your data lives and whether AI analysis comes standard. Here's the honest read on where each one wins.
Side by side
Two focused error trackers, both honestly priced. The gaps are EU hosting, built-in AI, and scope. Here's the line-by-line.
| Feature | booboo.dev | Rollbar |
|---|---|---|
| Paid pricing | €18/mo flat for 50K events | Usage-based — from $9/mo for 10K events |
| Free tier | 5K events, 30-day retention, 2 seats | 5K occurrences, 30-day retention |
| EU data residency | Default | No — data stored in the US; GDPR via DPA + SCCs |
| AI analysis on every error, every plan | Built in, including Free | Metered AI credits — none on Free |
| Data retention | 30 days (90 on Team) | 90 days on paid plans, 180 on Advanced |
| Pricing simplicity | One number per tier — events | Public per-occurrence usage tiers |
| Session replay | Not offered — errors only, by design | Included — even Free gets 1K replays/mo |
| Uptime monitors | Included, every plan | Not offered |
| Predictable billing (no surprise overages) | Hard cap by default | Stops at plan limit by default; paid overage optional |
built-in partial / add-on not supported
Why teams pick booboo
If you need session replay, longer retention (90–180 days), or SDKs beyond Python and JavaScript — Rollbar covers Go, Java, .NET, PHP, Rails, iOS, React Native, and more — Rollbar's a great fit and we'll happily point you there. For an EU-hosted error tracker with AI built in, booboo wins.
Switching from Rollbar
No big-bang migration. Run both for a week, then drop the one you don't want.
- 1
Install our SDK alongside Rollbar's
Two more lines of code. Both SDKs capture the same unhandled exceptions independently.

Compare for a week in production
You'll see the same errors in both dashboards. Check the AI Triage on every booboo issue. See if it earns its keep.
- 3
Switch off Rollbar
Delete two lines of code, cancel the Rollbar subscription, you're done. Both SDKs are safe in production and add minimal overhead during the trial week.
