Cost pros & cons
Where Sentry saves money
- Best-in-class error/exception grouping and stack traces

Watch-outs
- Multiple event meters (errors, spans, replays) each have their own overage
- Per-seat charges apply on top of event volume on Team/Business
- Not a full infra/metrics platform -- it pairs with one
