We've been working with Heroku to bring you an even easier and more convenient
way to add Hoptoad to your Heroku apps:

```sh
heroku addons:add hoptoad:plus
```

* $7/month, SSL, ratelimit of 30 errors/minute, plus Github, Lighthouse, and
  deploy integration

    $ heroku addons:add hoptoad:basic

* $2/month, SSL, ratelimit of 5 errors/minute

Or, if you prefer, you can add Hoptoad to your app with a single click over on
[the Hoptoad Heroku Addon page](http://addons.heroku.com/hoptoad).

Once you've configured the addon,  you'll want to [install the Hoptoad Notifier
in your
project](https://github.com/thoughtbot/hoptoad_notifier/blob/master/README_FOR_HEROKU_ADDON.md),
and you can use a shiny, new, Heroku-specific configuration flag in the
generator:

```sh
rails generate hoptoad --heroku
```

Then, you can click through from your Heroku dashboard to the Hoptoad addon, and
get the same Hoptoad interface you're come to know and love:

### The Heroku Addon Experience

I would highly recommend building your own Heroku addon.  The experience is
getting very polished, and there is a large amount of documentation at the
[Heroku Addon Provider site](https://addons.heroku.com/provider).  They take
care of billing and provide a single-sign on <abbr title="Application
Programming Interface">API</abbr> for addon providers, and generally make the
process seamless and pain-free.  We've been working with them for a while,
through the development of their addon platform, and they have a very solid
offering now.  Go forth and develop!

FYI: _Hoptoad/Airbrake was sold to RackSpace and is now called [Airbrake Bug Tracker](http://airbrake.io)_.
