by Sentry (Functional Software)Error monitoring
Error monitoring priced by errors, with unlimited users from $26 a month and SOC 2, ISO 27001 and EU storage on every plan.
Unlimited users and 50,000 errors a month for $26, with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and EU data storage on every plan.
Sentry bills by the errors you send, not by the people who read them: Team includes unlimited users and 50,000 errors a month for $26 billed annually ($29 monthly), and the pricing calculator puts 100,000 errors at $44.13. Its pricing table marks SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA security and data residency on every plan, with a BAA and SAML SSO from Business. Sentry also publishes a self-hosted version.

| Bottom line | From its public pages, Sentry is the most complete package here for a team that mainly needs error monitoring: unlimited users, 90-day history and compliance on every plan. SAML SSO and a BAA start on Business. | From its public pages, Rollbar is the most transparent here on price, with unlimited users on every plan and 90-day retention on Essentials. Check the missing EU region and the BAA entry point before you choose it. | From its public pages, BugSnag lists the lowest price here for 100,000 errors, with unlimited users and an on-premise option. Its compliance pages are thinner for the SaaS: US hosting, no BAA and no SOC 2 Type 2 scope that names it. | From its public pages, Datadog lists the lowest price here for 100,000 standalone errors and charges nothing extra for errors from its APM and RUM. Plan around the trial-only start and 30-day error samples. |

Review from public pages
Written from Sentry's public pages (pricing, security or privacy, and docs) as read on Oct 15, 2026. We did not sign up, and no hands-on run is published yet.
We read Sentry's pricing, security and documentation pages on Oct 15, 2026; we did not sign up for this review. The pricing page shows four plans, Developer (free), Team, Business and Enterprise, each with a base quota: 5,000 errors on Developer and 50,000 on Team and Business, plus spans, logs, replays and attachments. Usage above the quota is billed at pay-as-you-go rates the page lists per error, and its calculator puts 100,000 errors on Team at $44.13 a month billed annually.
The docs add what the pricing page does not: reserved volume bought in advance costs less per error than pay-as-you-go, every new account starts with a 14-day trial, and data beyond your reserved volume and pay-as-you-go budget is dropped rather than billed. The security page lists SOC 2 Type I and Type II, ISO 27001 and a HIPAA attestation. The data storage docs offer the US (Iowa) or the EU (Frankfurt) when you create an organization; user accounts and audit logs stay in the US.
Sentry also documents a self-hosted version under the Functional Source License, which it says comes with no guarantees or dedicated support.
Team and Business include unlimited users, so the whole team can triage without seat planning.
vs New Relic: New Relic charges $49 a month per core user and $99 per additional full platform user on Standard.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA security and data residency are marked on every plan, including Developer.
vs New Relic: New Relic lists HIPAA eligibility only on Enterprise with Data Plus.
Team keeps up to a 90-day lookback.
vs New Relic: Datadog keeps Error Tracking samples 30 days; New Relic keeps APM errors 8 days on its original data option.
The docs describe self-hosted Sentry as the Business plan without software limits and with no paid tier, licensed under the FSL.
Team and Business list spend notifications and a maximum spend threshold.
Developer allows one user and 5,000 errors a month.
Workaround: Team adds unlimited users from $26 a month billed annually.
Team offers Google and GitHub SSO; SAML2 and SCIM need Business ($80 billed annually) or Enterprise.
Above 50,000, Business pay-as-you-go errors start at $0.0011125 each, about three times the Team rate.
Errors beyond your reserved volume and pay-as-you-go budget are dropped for the rest of the cycle, so budgets need headroom.
Sentry prices by plan plus usage. Team is $26 a month billed annually or $29 monthly; Business $80 or $89. Both include 50,000 errors, 5M spans, 5 GB of logs, 50 replays and 1 GB of attachments. Above 50,000, Team pay-as-you-go errors cost $0.0003625 each to 100,000, falling to $0.00015 above 20 million; reserved volume bought in advance costs less ($0.00029 per error to 100,000, per the docs).
For 5 users and 100,000 errors, the calculator shows $44.13 a month on Team billed annually and $47.13 billed monthly. Seats are not charged. SAML SSO and a BAA need Business, where errors above the quota start at $0.0011125 each. Seer, the AI debugging agent, is a separate subscription.
Sentry publishes a self-hosted version under the Functional Source License, which allows internal use. The docs say it comes with no guarantees or dedicated support and lacks some cloud features, such as Seer and data storage location.
From its public pages, Sentry is the most complete package here for a team that mainly needs error monitoring: unlimited users, 90-day history and compliance on every plan. SAML SSO and a BAA start on Business.
