RoRvsWild review
A focused APM service for Rails requests, jobs, SQL, exceptions, and servers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
RoRvsWild is a cloud application performance monitoring and error-tracking service built specifically for Ruby on Rails applications. It is aimed at Rails developers and teams that need visibility into request performance, background jobs, SQL queries, exceptions, deployments, and server health. The service supports applications hosted on Heroku, Scalingo, or other Ruby hosting providers, with web, iOS, and Android access for viewing monitored data.
Pricing is usage-based and shown in EUR. Qualifying open-source Ruby on Rails applications receive free monitoring. The paid plans start at €10 per month for up to 1M monthly requests and jobs, followed by €100 per month for up to 10M, €300 per month for up to 50M, and €400 per month for up to 100M. The homepage also presents a 14-day free trial. This structure fits teams that can estimate combined request and job volume, while open-source projects have a particularly clear entry path.
The standout strength is its Rails-specific coverage. RoRvsWild measures response time, throughput, percentiles, runtime breakdowns, SQL and database performance, deployment revisions, and server load, RAM, swap, CPU, and disk space. Background-job monitoring covers ActiveJob, Sidekiq, GoodJob, Solid Queue, Resque, and DelayedJob. Alerts can be sent through email, Slack, Discord, or Microsoft Teams, and the local development profiler adds value during investigation before deployment. Its published focus is narrower than an APM suite built around distributed tracing, dependency mapping, real-user monitoring, and log correlation. Choose RoRvsWild for focused Rails observability; teams seeking broader cross-service visibility should consider an alternative.
