Error Tracking Software

Error-tracking tools collect software errors so teams can fix them; platform support and event limits help decide which service fits.

Use the board to compare free plans, starting prices, monthly event quotas, retention, source-map support, session replay, release tracking and self-hosting. Signal marks show usage, a public API, documentation depth, open-source code and a free tier.

How to choose

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Choose a tool that covers the environments you use. Platform marks include web, API, Android, iOS, Linux and self-hosted options.

Check the product page for the exact platform combination before connecting it to your existing apps.

What will it cost to start?

Start with the free-plan mark, then compare the paid-from price and trial period. Airbrake lists a free plan, paid plans from $17 per month on annual billing and a 30-day trial; AppSignal lists $23.25 per month on annual billing and a 30-day trial.

Azure Monitor lists a free plan and a 30-day trial, while Dynatrace Infrastructure Monitoring lists pricing from $29 per month and a 15-day trial.

How should I compare event limits and retention?

Compare the monthly event quota with your expected error volume, then check event retention for how long records remain available. These fields are separate, so review both before choosing a plan.

Which debugging features matter?

Use source-map support when you need error locations tied to readable source files. Session replay can add a playback view, while release tracking links errors to software releases; compare the marks for the workflow you need.

Do I need an API or self-hosting?

Pick a public API when the tracker must connect to scripts or other services. Pick a self-hosted option when you need to run the service in your own environment; confirm both marks and review the open-source status and licence.
