• SSL and domain expiry alerts prevent an entire class of self-inflicted outage.
• Many test locations even on cheaper plans.
• Simple and reliable.

• 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.

• No scripted browser journeys.
• Interface is functional rather than pleasant.
• Limited integration with observability platforms.

• 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.

Small teams wanting broad availability coverage cheaply.

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