Error and exception tracking pricing compared
Error tracking · 4 vendors · Pricing snapshot: June 2026
Error tracking is dominated by Sentry, which bills by error-event volume: a free Developer tier (5,000 errors/month), Team at $26/month (50K errors) and Business at $80/month (100K errors), with pay-as-you-go overage around $0.00025 per extra error. Better Stack includes error tracking in its suite (100K exceptions free). Datadog offers Error Tracking as a usage-based add-on layered on APM/RUM data, and New Relic bundles Errors Inbox into its platform (data counts toward the per-GB meter). If error tracking is your primary need, Sentry's free tier and $26 entry are hard to beat; if you already run a full platform, the built-in error views may suffice.
