What does StareGlare not do?
No session replay, no performance monitoring, no source maps or symbolication (errors and crashes can be captured automatically if you turn that on, grouped and counted, and a report sent after a crash carries the crash log), no iOS or Android SDKs, no game-engine SDKs other than a Godot 4 addon, no feature-voting boards and no live chat. If you need those, another tool may suit you better — check the comparison above.
