We all know Sentry, right? It's a big name in error monitoring. But what if I told you there are some impressive alternatives out there that might just suit your needs even better?
We’ve got Rollbar, Raygun, Bugpilot, and a few more on the table. Each one brings something unique. Let's compare them against Sentry by diving into their features, ease of use, integrations, and of course, their price.
If you're looking to optimize your app’s performance and squash bugs more efficiently, this is the guide for you.
Rollbar
With 4.5 out of 5 stars on both Capterra and G2, Rollbar is acclaimed as one of the top error monitoring tools.
Rollbar provides real-time error monitoring and reporting with features like error grouping, deduping, and detailed error analytics. It supports a wide range of platforms and allows for stack traces and proactive triaging of errors. Rollbar also integrates well with project management tools like Slack, Jira, and GitHub.
All this makes Rollbar a solid, user-friendly choice for keeping your app running smoothly. If you're looking for an easy to use error monitoring tool with advanced diagnostic capabilities, give Rollbar a try. Plans start at $0/mo and unlike Sentry’s free plan, Rollbar’s offers unlimited users.
Raygun
Raygun focuses on providing detailed diagnostic data with a developer-friendly interface. It offers real-user monitoring, dashboards, transaction tracing, and usage-based pricing.
Raygun also goes beyond tracking bugs. They offer an integrated platform that combines error monitoring, real user monitoring, and application performance monitoring (APM). Raygun’s starting price for error monitoring by itself is $40/mo, which is on the high side compared to other tools on this list.
Raygun has no free plan, but they do offer a 14-day free trial.
Bugpilot
Bugpilot offers automated session recordings, detailed bug reports, and seamless integrations with tools like Jira, Notion, and Trello. It's particularly user-friendly for SaaS businesses and offers flexible pricing plans starting from $7/mo for unlimited errors and two users.
Their particular focus is providing first-class support for Next.js, a popular React framework. If you use anything else besides Next.js, you have to manually add the required script tag, an additional step in the setup process, making it less convenient.
Bugsnag
BugSnag offers comprehensive error monitoring features but does not provide access to raw error data for in-depth analysis or account management automation. A G2 reviewer noted unexpected price increases, with their bill rising from $70 to $280.
One area where BugSnag excels is error monitoring for game development, supporting platforms like Unity, Unreal Engine, and Nintendo Switch.
Airbrake
Airbrake bills itself as “the simplest and most cost-effective Error & Performance Monitoring Tool”. Their user interface is often praised for its simplicity and ease of use, making it a good choice for teams who value a no-frills, efficient approach. Plans start from $17/mo for one user.
Glitchtip
Glitchtip is a newer player in the error monitoring space. It’s an open source tool that you can self-host or you can sign up for their hosted version. GlitchTip does not have as many advanced features or as polished a user interface, but since it’s open source you can tweak and customize it to suit your specific needs, which is a plus if you have the development resources to do so.
They have a free plan with unlimited users but only with 1,000 errors per month. Their next plan up is $15/mo with 100,000 errors per month.
