Sentry overview: who it is for and what it does.
Sentry captures errors and performance data from applications, links them to releases and code, and alerts developers.
A January 2026 guide from a competing vendor lists Developer (free, 1 user, 5,000 errors), Team at $29 a month or $26 annually and Business at $89 or $80 annually, both with 50,000 errors and unlimited users, and Enterprise by quote.
A November 2026 guide confirms the 5,000 and 50,000 error quotas and notes usage above quotas is billed as overage. Sentry can also be self-hosted.
