How much does Sentry cost and what counts towards the bill?

Developer is free for one user. Team is $26/month when billed annually with the default pre-paid data, and Business is $80/month; Enterprise is custom. The monthly price buys a data allowance rather than seats above Team — Developer includes 5k errors, Team 50k — and usage beyond it is billed per unit: $0.50 per additional GB, $1.00 per additional uptime alert, $0.78 per additional cron monitor and $0.25/hr for UI profiling. Spend notifications and a maximum spend threshold are available so the metered part does not run away.

Does Sentry have a free plan?

Yes. Sentry offers a free tier with limits; paid plans unlock higher usage or team features.

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.

Key features

Error Monitoring
View software crashes and errors in real-time, down to the specific line of code.
Session Replay
Visually watch the user's session to understand exactly how an error occurred.
Performance
Automatically detect slow API requests and sluggish page transitions.
Issue Linkage
Assign errors directly to the team via integrations like Jira or GitHub.
