Why developers are leaving Fiddler
Fiddler Classic was the king of debugging... on Windows. But the world has changed. Today's development stack is cross-platform, and Fiddler has struggled to keep up.
The "Fiddler Everywhere" Subscription Trap
Telerik released "Fiddler Everywhere" to solve the macOS/Linux support issue. It's a great tool, but it comes with a hefty price tag and forces you to create an account just to capture local traffic.
Debuggo is different. We believe basic debugging shouldn't require a monthly subscription per seat or a mandatory login for basic features. You get the power of traffic inspection without the enterprise overhead.
Mobile Testing shouldn't require IT support
Capturing traffic from Android or iOS using Fiddler requires messing with complex firewall rules and manually configuring IP addresses on your phone. If your laptop goes to sleep, the connection breaks.
The Cloud Advantage
Debuggo runs entirely in your browser. This means:
1. No heavy installation (saves RAM).
2. Works on any OS (Chromebooks, Linux, macOS, Windows).
3. Persistent Sessions: Your proxy stays up even if you close your laptop.
