#4I'm extremely sad to hear about this development. Jon Siegel has a seriously bad track record of running startups into the ground. I've used both Exceptional and Hoptoad (Airbrake) extensively, but I had to switch every app I run to Airbrake because Exceptional has been stagnant for nearly a year. They obviously don't care about the product and now they'll ruin Airbrake too. :(

According to Thoughtbot's post, Exceptional has been running Airbrake for months now.

#6I'm interested to see where this goes next. I feel like Airbrake hasn't gotten much love lately, and there are multiple times during the day where the response times are abysmal.
Here's hoping the new stewardship brings some better architecture/hardware and some new features.

#7I'm happy to be a part of the new Airbrake + Exceptional team. I'll be heading up the product, UX and community events . We've already taken huge steps in improve the exception developer workflow and will be launching much needed search, notification workflow and integrations to Airbrake in the coming months. We are going to officially support more languages, and better support mobile exception tracking.
We are still working out our Exceptional + Airbrake roadmap; but if you have any questions or concerns please e-mail myself at ben@exceptional.io .

On a side note; it's been a pleasure working with the Thoughtbot + Contrast team.

#8lately they've just raised the airbrake prices to more than 600% WITHOUT ANY NOTICE! I see that exceptional cost 9 usd/month (per project or account? it's not clear)
I'll see what they'll do, and eventually migrate to an open alternative. 5 usd/month for 4 projects is great, 35 usd/month it isn't (speaking for a bootstrapping startup where every cent can make the difference)

#9Whoa! The cheapest Airbrake account costs $79! Are there alternatives to Airbrak & Exceptional?
Re: Airbrake acquired by Exceptional
#10Is there a reason to use any of these services given how trivial it is to set up an open source alternative? You can push errbit to heroku in 5 minutes and you're done.
Perhaps there is a level of service here and a business I don't see, and I'm a huge heroku and third party service user, but I don't see the need for a monthly service fee to aggregate and send exception notifications. It's either a self deploy or a feature of an overall monitoring service like NewRelic.
