That list is just companies who (as far as I can tell) *only* do error tracking. List is bigger if you expand to companies where that is one of their products. Bigger still if you include open source solutions

FWIW I compared 7+ companies back in Nov. Went with Sentry for best overall product. (Best/most well-supported Lang/framework integrations, open source, amazing UI)
-
I for one would prefer if that list was narrowed to a single company ;) As a founder in the space, it’s quite an interesting dilemma that there are so many (and theres a lot more niche examples you didn’t even list).
-
Glad you found this thread! Any hypothesis on why there are so many?

Problem “looks easy” and is actually fairly simply to get a prototype going (original Sentry was ~70 lines of code), but gets really hard once you have a lot of data or disjointed data. Also getting harder as industry adapts. Definitely critical for mobile/browser/desktop apps.

Ahh great points. The space "looks easy", every technical founder brushes up against error tracking, and it falls into the "dev tools" space which is notoriously competitive since a lot of engineers want to do this stuff for fun (hence OSS). Makes sense!

Adding to the mystery: afaik the biggest exit in the space is Crashlytics, for 100m. Theories: error tracking is a need-to-have, should-be-outsourced, integrate ASAP product. Also, it was a personal pain point for all those founders (especially in iOS, more so in early days)
