# PostHog error tracking alternatives in 2026

**Short answer:** If you already run PostHog for analytics, try its error tracking first: the first 100,000 exceptions a month are free and each issue links to the user's replay. Look elsewhere when you want a dedicated error tool. **Sentry** adds tracing, logs and uptime. **Rollbar** is priced by usage with unlimited users. **Honeybadger** has a flat monthly price. **GlitchTip** is open source and accepts Sentry's SDKs. **LogRocket** puts replay first. **BugTape** is the narrow option. I built it to group browser bugs real users hit and hand them to your coding agent. It doesn't do product analytics.

No account: `npx -y bugtape --help` prints the commands and does not sign you in. The demo MCP at https://app.bugtape.ai/demo/mcp needs no sign-in. Your own workspace needs one.

## How I'd choose

| If you need… | Pick |
|---|---|
| The most free error volume, and you already use PostHog | Stay on PostHog |
| Tracing, logs and uptime next to errors | Sentry |
| Many users and a small bill | Rollbar |
| A flat monthly price | Honeybadger |
| Errors on your own servers | GlitchTip |
| Full session replay and funnels with errors attached | LogRocket, or OpenReplay to self-host |
| A short list of grouped browser failures your coding agent can fix | BugTape |

## Why people move off PostHog for errors

Three common reasons. Check them against your own setup.

- **They don't use the analytics.** PostHog's error tracking makes most sense when you also use its replay, events and feature flags. If you only want errors, a dedicated tracker has fewer settings.
- **They want tracing or logs.** PostHog's error tracking docs focus on exceptions. Sentry and Honeybadger put traces, logs or uptime on the same bill.
- **They want every failure to come with evidence.** In PostHog, an issue's replay depends on your recording and sampling settings. BugTape sends its replay buffer with each supported failure, so every captured browser bug has one.

## Where BugTape fits

BugTape doesn't record every visit and has no funnels, heatmaps, experiments or feature flags. The browser SDK keeps a short buffer and sends it with an uncaught error, a failed or hung request, or a user's report. Repeats become one issue. Node.js and Python SDKs cover servers.

Your agent connects to `https://app.bugtape.ai/mcp`, reads the ranked inbox with `list_recommended_critical` and calls `get_repro_context` for one occurrence's timeline, failed request, console and stack. It marks the issue as picked up and adds the pull request URL. A person reviews the pull request.

You can keep PostHog for analytics and add BugTape for errors. [BugTape vs PostHog](/compare/posthog/) covers that setup.

## FAQ

### Is PostHog error tracking free?

The first 100,000 exceptions a month are free. After that PostHog's docs list $0.00037 per exception up to 325,000, then less at higher volume.

### What is the best PostHog alternative for error tracking only?

Sentry if you want the broadest tool, Honeybadger for a flat price, GlitchTip to self-host. BugTape if you want browser bugs handed to a coding agent.

### Do these alternatives have MCP servers?

Yes, all of them on 2 November 2026. Sentry, Honeybadger, LogRocket, PostHog and BugTape host theirs. Rollbar's and OpenReplay's run locally.

### Can I use PostHog and BugTape together?

Yes. BugTape uses its own browser SDK and doesn't read PostHog data, so the two run side by side.
