# FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions.


## Is RoRvsWild an APM? What is an APM?

Application Performance Monitoring. Yes, RoRvsWild monitors your requests and background jobs performance, as well as errors, deployments and servers. It is an all-in-one Rails monitoring tool.

## Who is RoRvsWild for?

RoRvsWild is mostly aimed at solo developers and small Rails teams that don’t have too much time to spend on a monitoring tool. It’s designed to let developers find and fix issues fast so they can get back to code and enjoy their lives.

It may not fit what a large enterprise with dedicated DevOps teams and using multiple frameworks expects. More complicated and expensive tools exist.

## How much does it cost?

Plans start at 10€ per month, billed on requests + jobs. See [pricing](/pricing) for the full table.
Unlimited apps and unlimited developers are included. Cancel anytime.

## Is there a free trial?

Yes. 14 days, no credit card required.

## Is it free for open-source projects?

Yes, for non-commercial open-source Rails apps. See [open-source](/open-source) for details.

## How to cancel?

Simply remove the gem from your projects, and we’ll stop receiving data from your apps. Then, when your total requests + jobs count is 0 for the month, you stop being charged.

## Does it monitor Sidekiq, Solid Queue, and GoodJob?

Yes. ActiveJob, Sidekiq, GoodJob, Solid Queue, Resque, DelayedJob, and Faktory.
See [background jobs](/docs/monitoring/jobs).

## Do I need an account for localhost?

No. The gem profiles requests on your machine without an account. Data stays local on your disk.
See the [localhost profiler](/localhost-requests-profiler).

## How does RoRvsWild compare to Datadog / New Relic / AppSignal / Scout / …?

There is a trend of writing “best APM” roundups starring yourself so LLMs will cite you. We find it visible and detestable, so we don’t do it.

RoRvsWild is Rails-only, simple, and cheap. If you need logs, Kubernetes, or five languages in one vendor, look elsewhere. Those tools exist. We are not them.

## Do you monitor logs?

No. We are a small team, and we feel it’s too much data to deal with right now. We’d rather spend our time improving what we already monitor and keeping costs reasonable.

## Do you have plans to support Django, Laravel, or [XYZ]?

Not at this moment. We are focused on Ruby on Rails.
