Errbit (https://github.com/errbit/errbit) is the open source alternative to Airbrake/Hoptoad that provides an identical API so you can continue to use the same gem in your projects, just point it at a different service.
The problem with being a customer on airbrake/exceptional is that you end up paying for crappy customers that send millions of exceptions to their servers putting them under heavy load, if you have a low traffic app then err bit on a free heroku account is a hassle free way of handling exceptions.
We host a number of low traffic apps on staging our servers, that would push us into the $999/month plan. Which is like 2-3 times as much as we pay for the servers... So for us errbit is worth the time it takes to setup.
