Runheed vs BugSnag
BugSnag, which SmartBear now also calls Insight Hub, monitors errors and stability for web, mobile and backend apps, priced by monthly event volume.
Runheed does one job: it gets production errors in front of your coding agent with the context it needs to fix them, and lets the agent close them.
| Runheed | BugSnag | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry paid plan | Solo $29/mo, 50,000 events, 30-day history | Select plan, priced by event tier from 50k events a month, 60-day retention |
| Free tier | No. Paid plans only, cancel any time | Yes: 7,500 events a month, 1 user, 7-day retention |
| MCP server for coding agents | Yes, on every plan | Yes, SmartBear's self-hosted MCP server (npm package @smartbear/mcp) |
| Agent context on each error (agent, session, tool) | First-class fields the MCP tools return | Metadata you attach yourself with addMetadata or an onError callback |
| Overage billing | Never: events over the limit are rejected | See their pricing page |

- Your errors come from iOS, Android or browser apps
