GlitchTip vs Condux: two Sentry-compatible, self-hostable monitors
GlitchTip and Condux both speak the Sentry protocol and both self-host. The split: GlitchTip is fully open source and wonderfully simple, and Condux adds an AI fix engine that opens draft pull requests your team merges.
This is the friendliest comparison on the list, because GlitchTip is genuinely great. It is a lightweight, fully open source, Sentry-compatible monitor. Condux is source-available under the FSL, not OSI open source, and the reason to pick it is the Conductor fix engine and the deeper platform. If a truly open source license is a hard requirement, GlitchTip is the better pick.
Condux vs GlitchTip, side by side
We only claim what ships, and we state their published facts. Nothing invented.
| Feature | Condux | GlitchTip |
|---|---|---|
| AI fix engine | The Conductor turns an error into a draft pull request your own team reviews and merges | No AI fix engine |
| License | Source-available under the FSL (converts to Apache-2.0 after two years) | Fully open source (MIT) |
| Sentry compatibility | Yes: keep your SDK, change the DSN | Yes: also Sentry-SDK compatible |
| Self-hosting | First class: one Docker Compose stack or a Helm chart, source-available under the FSL | Open source and self-hostable, deliberately lightweight |
| Depth | Fix engine, CVE remediation, BYO model, verification loop | Focused, minimal error tracking |
When to choose GlitchTip over Condux
Balanced beats biased. Here is where they are the better call.
- A fully open source (OSI) license is a hard requirement. GlitchTip is MIT; Condux is source-available under the FSL.
- You want the lightest possible Sentry-compatible monitor and do not need an AI fix engine.
Frequently asked questions
Is Condux open source like GlitchTip?
Not exactly. Condux is source-available under the Functional Source License: you can read, self-host and modify it, and each release becomes Apache-2.0 two years after it ships. GlitchTip is MIT-licensed open source. If OSI open source is a requirement, GlitchTip is the one to pick.
