Sentry sits in the Error Monitoring category. Most SMB accounts overpay by 40% to 70% on this one tool alone. Here's the realistic price, the common overspend traps, and the cheaper alternatives we recommend at Cancel Costs.
Sentry Team starts at A$26/mo but error volume can spike during incident windows and trigger overage charges. A bad deploy can add A$200+ to a month's bill.

| Alternative | Monthly (A$) | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Sentry Free Tier | A$0 | 5k errors/mo free; sufficient for most under-100-staff teams |
| Self-hosted Sentry | A$0 | Open source, full control, no event limits |
| Better Stack | A$24 | Simpler error tracking bundled with logs/uptime |
Sentry rarely discounts but they're flexible on rate limit increases for free-tier accounts that ask. Often you can stay on free tier with one polite email instead of upgrading.
