Summary

Instabug and New Relic are two popular APM (Application Performance Monitoring) tools that help monitor app crashes, errors, network requests, battery consumption, and more. Both tools provide client-side network call tracking, detailed crash reporting, and alerts to stay ahead of negative reviews. Instabug is built for mobile developers and engineers, detecting critical issues affecting users, while New Relic is built with backend and DevOps teams in mind. Instabug's APM goes deeper into app launch time monitoring, ANR errors, OOM errors, app hangs, and forced restarts, capturing performance of key flows and enabling custom execution traces. Instabug also offers an Apdex score to assess app performance and make actionable decisions faster. Additionally, Instabug provides better crash reporting, reproducing and fixing issues faster with advanced features like session profiler, repro steps, and flame graphs engine. Instabug's bug reporting tool is the most powerful for mobile apps on the market, allowing users to easily report bugs without crashing the app. The tool also offers customizable alerts and notifications, monitoring and debugging app store reviews, actively gathering user feedback and app reviews, and automating rollout monitoring and management.
