LogRocket vs Sentry

Feature checklists rarely decide anything. What decides it is the pricing metric, who has to write the tests, and which limitation you can live with.

Entry price

From $176 per month (Core, around 25k sessions)

Trial only

From $26 per month (Team plan, indicative)

Free tier

What drives the bill

The metric that actually scales your invoice.

Priced on the sessions you capture — analytics, logs and errors are unlimited. Plans are Core, Pro and Enterprise, and Pro is included free above 100k sessions a month.

Event-volume pricing. A noisy application can consume the quota quickly, so filtering matters.

Free tier

14-day trial with full features; there is no permanently free plan.

Free developer plan with a monthly error and replay allowance.

Strengths

  • The technical context makes a support ticket directly actionable by a developer.
  • Error tracking and replay in one tool can replace a separate error monitor.
  • State-management integration is unmatched for React and Redux applications.
  • Release and commit attribution tells you which deploy introduced the error, and often who to ask.
  • Excellent SDK coverage across essentially every language and framework.
  • Self-hosting is genuinely supported for teams that need it.

Limitations

  • Session pricing escalates on high-traffic consumer sites, and there is no free tier to grow into — only a 14-day trial.
  • Recording network payloads requires careful configuration to avoid capturing secrets.
  • Less suited to marketing and conversion analysis than a dedicated experience-analytics tool.
  • Event-based pricing punishes noisy applications until you invest in filtering.
  • The product has broadened a lot; some newer modules are shallower than the error core.
  • Self-hosting is resource-hungry.

Best for

Engineering teams that want to debug production issues from a recording.

Essentially every engineering team — error tracking is the highest-value monitoring you can add first.

All of these integrate with: Jira, Slack.
