Sentry

Monitor app health.

What it is

Sentry provides real-time error tracking and performance monitoring for your software. It notifies you exactly which line of code failed and what the user was doing at the time. Beyond bugs, it analyzes slow page loads and DB queries. Its 'Session Replay' lets you watch a video of what the user saw during the error, allowing you to solve issues in seconds.

Sentry pricing

Sentry publishes 2 plans. Paid tiers start at $26/mo billed annually.

Strengths and trade-offs

What works well

  • Unrivaled Detection: Learn about errors before your users even have time to complain.
  • Wide Support: Compatible with almost every language from Python to Swift.
  • Rich Context: Provides logs, device info, and more to help you fix bugs faster.
  • Performance Monitoring: Shows exactly where your application is slowing down.

Where it falls short

  • Noise Management: Can send thousands of unimportant alerts if not tuned correctly.
  • Cost: Data storage costs can rise for applications with very high traffic volume.
  • Setup: Properly integrating it into every part of an app takes some dedicated time.

Who it is for

Software Developers, DevOps Engineers, and Product Managers.

Pick it or skip it

Pick Sentry if

  • Solo developers: the Developer plan is free for one user with error monitoring and tracing, email alerts, 10 custom dashboards and MCP access
  • Growing teams — Team at $26/month billed annually lifts you to unlimited users, 50k errors, API and third-party integrations and 20 custom dashboards
  • Teams that need governance: Business at $80/month adds unlimited custom dashboards, advanced quota management and SAML with SCIM support

Skip it if

  • You want one predictable bill — quotas are pre-paid and overage is metered per unit: $0.50 per additional GB, $1.00 per additional uptime alert, $0.78 per additional cron monitor, $0.25/hr for UI profiling
  • You are on Developer and expect to grow: it is limited to one user and 5k errors, and unlimited users only start at Team
  • You need SAML or SCIM below Business, or a technical account manager and dedicated support below Enterprise

Our verdict

Catches errors in production with the stack trace and context needed to fix them quickly.

Spend notifications and a maximum spend threshold are available so the metered part does not run away.
