Comparison

TracePath vs Sentry.

Sentry is excellent at errors. TracePath puts errors, logs, traces, metrics, replay, uptime and on-call behind one OpenTelemetry pipeline and one predictable price.

Start free Read the docs

We build TracePath, so read this with that in mind. Every claim about Sentry below comes from their own public documentation, checked on 2026-09-21, and we quote no competitor prices because they change without notice.

Sentry is a mature, widely deployed error-tracking and application-monitoring product, and it now stores structured logs natively too.
TracePath treats OpenTelemetry as the primary ingest path rather than one of several: you instrument with the OTel SDKs you already know and point the exporter at us.
TracePath bundles uptime monitors, status pages, incident timelines and on-call paging into the same product and the same price, instead of assembling them from separate tools.
TracePath plans carry a single monthly ingest allowance across every signal. At 80% you get an email, at 100% ingest pauses — there is no overage invoice.
TracePath runs on EU infrastructure and is operated by an EU business under Polish law.

Capabilities

Side by side.

Capability	TracePath	Sentry	Notes
Error tracking & grouping	Yes	Yes	Both group exceptions by fingerprint and rank by frequency and impact.
Source-map & native symbolication	Yes	Yes	TracePath ships a built-in symbolicator for JS source maps, Dart maps, dSYMs and R8 mappings.
Session replay (web)	Yes	Yes	rrweb-based on both. TracePath includes it on every plan with no per-replay charge.
Log management	Yes	Yes	Sentry's structured Logs product went generally available in September 2025.
Primary ingest protocol	OTLP	Sentry SDKs (OTLP supported)	TracePath's own API exists for browser and mobile clients; backends use plain OpenTelemetry.
Metrics & dashboards	Yes	Via traces & spans	TracePath ingests OTLP metrics directly and ships dashboards-as-code plus Grafana JSON import.
Uptime monitors, status pages & on-call	Yes	Uptime & cron monitors	TracePath adds public status pages, incident timelines, post-mortems and paging rotations.
Licensing	Commercial	FSL (Apache 2.0 after 2 years)	TracePath is a commercial hosted service. Check each vendor's current licence before you commit.
Billing when you exceed the plan	Ingest pauses	Usage-based	Compare against Sentry's published pricing — we deliberately quote no numbers for other vendors.
Hosting region	EU (Helsinki)	US & EU regions

FAQ

Common questions.

Does TracePath ingest OpenTelemetry the same way Sentry does?

TracePath's primary ingest path is OTLP over HTTP, so any OpenTelemetry SDK or collector works without a vendor shim. Sentry accepts OpenTelemetry data too, but its richest experience is through its own SDKs.

Can I run both while I evaluate?

Yes, and most teams do. Add a second OTLP exporter (or a second pipeline in your collector) and both backends receive the same spans until you decide.

What happens if I go over my plan?

You get an email at 80% of your monthly ingest allowance, and at 100% we return HTTP 503 with a Retry-After to your exporters until the period resets or you upgrade. Your data stays; you are never billed for an overage you did not choose.

Where is my data stored?

On EU infrastructure, at a Hetzner facility in Helsinki, Finland. The subprocessor list on this site names every third party involved.
