TracePath vs Sentry.
TracePath vs Sentry: error tracking is table stakes — TracePath adds logs, traces, metrics and session replay on the same OpenTelemetry data.
- Sentry is strongest at error tracking and application monitoring; TracePath covers errors plus logs, traces, metrics, session replay and monitors in one backend.
- TracePath is MIT-licensed open source with a single-binary self-host path; Sentry's core is BSL-licensed with limited self-serve hosting.
- Both ingest OpenTelemetry; TracePath is OTel-first end to end.

Common questions.
Can I migrate from Sentry to TracePath?
TODO-verify: document the export path (Sentry event export via API -> re-upload source maps + debug IDs to TracePath symbolicator). Verify current Sentry API export limits before publishing.
Does TracePath ingest OpenTelemetry like Sentry?
Yes. TracePath's primary ingest path is OTLP over HTTP, so any OpenTelemetry SDK or collector works without a vendor shim.
Is TracePath really free to self-host?
Yes — the same code that powers TracePath Cloud is MIT-licensed. You run it on your own infrastructure with no feature gates.
Works with your stack.
