Sentry pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives
Sentry (sentry.io) is a monitoring tool. Flat monthly plan with included event quotas (errors, spans, replays, logs) and unlimited users; extra volume is bought reserved or pay-as-you-go.. Free plan: Developer plan: 1 user, 5k errors, 5M spans, 50 replays, 5 GB logs per month.
What Sentry costs
- 50k errors: $29/mo (Team $29/mo monthly includes 50k errors and unlimited users)
- APM, 2 hosts: $37/mo (Team $29 + 5M extra spans x $0.0000016 reserved = $8 (PAYG would be $10, total $39))
- 50 GB logs: $51.50/mo (Team $29 + 45 GB over the 5 GB included x $0.50/GB PAYG = $22.50)
Plan compared: Team. Every price is for the same small SaaS app (2 hosts, 10 million requests and spans, 50,000 errors and 50 GB of logs a month, 3 developers) on the cheapest self-serve plan that fully covers that job, billed monthly, including overage and per-user fees. Free plans count when they cover the whole scenario and allow commercial use.
