Rollbar vs Datadog in Summary

Rollbar is positioning as an Enterprise APM service with observability tools and a high price tag. DataDog is the larger incumbent in that space with an even higher price tag and broader platform support. For a cheaper, web error tracking alternative, consider TrackJS.
