Well, I had a delusion that Uptrace will have clean and simple UI, but I guess for others the UI is just as confusing. :(

I think we've done pretty good job with filtering+grouping+aggregation and data exploration in general. That is something I am proud of.

Uptrace is significantly cheaper.

As for the rest, it is the same but different. DD is bigger and more complex. I guess that is not the problem when you get used to the UI.

We have been using your hosted service for a while now and we are perfectly happy with uptrace, compared to jaeger the UI is miles ahead, I like jaeger for what it brought but the ui is just not very good.

We tried other hosted services but most if not all of them consider you are creating gold from thin air and charge you accordingly, we started with a hosted jaeger solution and switched to uptrace without looking back.

For an open source young project, your UI is pretty good. In fact that is what got me here to comment!

Any mobile client sdk? Android/iOS you are aware of?

OpenTelemetry Java should work with Android, but I haven't really tried it. Java supports true auto-instrumentation so it should not be hard to figure out if you have an Android project.
