I love Sentry but it has become a bit over-the-top complicated as of late (for my taste).

Glad to see one more on the market. I only knew about GlitchTip prior to today.

Agreed. We use both Sentry and Bugsnag (or whatever terrible name it has now) on different projects, and over time Sentry's interface has gotten considerably worse while Bugsnags got slightly better. I don't know if Sentry is aimed at significantly different users to us (an agency with many projects, mostly Django), but the sheer information overload when trying to understand an error is so bad that I ended up building a tool that receives Sentry webhooks and displays the information in a logical, sparse and easily digestible way.

Bugsink looks nice and straight forward, and if anything other than email - the absolute worst medium for notifications - lands in there I'll probably make the switch.

We use Datadog and Sentry because their mechanism of interaction and retention are different - if Datadog changed their process to be closer to the way Sentry aggregates errors over time I can see us never needing Sentry again.

Tried Sentry, then went back to BugSnag again. For me Sentry is just too much for a single developer.

For a single developer? What do you mean?

Don't get your hopes up.

Not the parent but I imagine something like "the more software caters to big orgs, the worse fit it becomes for individuals"

Sorry, what I meant was the features on BugSnag’s free plan is enough for me. I feel like Sentry caters more on their business customer.
