Firebase Crashlytics
Crash reporting for Apple, Android, Flutter and Unity apps, with no cost to use.
In short
- Google says there is no cost to using Crashlytics, and Firebase lists it as a no-cost product1,2.
- SDK guides cover Apple platforms, Android, Android NDK, Flutter and Unity; no web or server SDKs are listed3.
- Alerts go by email, Slack or PagerDuty, and Jira issues can be created from the console4,5,6.
- Docs describe dSYM uploads for Apple apps and mapping-file uploads for Android7,8.
- Google says all Firebase services completed ISO 27001 and SOC 2 evaluation9.
Crashlytics suits mobile teams, since it costs nothing and handles dSYM and mapping files for readable crash reports1,7,8. Its docs list no web or server SDKs, and its pages state no event limit, while the privacy page gives 90 days of crash history2,3,9. The catch: it covers mobile apps only, and Firebase lists it as a global service without naming an EU region9.
Best for: Mobile teams that want free crash reports and already use Firebase.
