Airbrake keeps error tracking simple. Monthly plans start at $19 for 25,000 errors, or $17 a month billed yearly, and step up through five tiers to $799 a month for 5 million errors. Each plan includes error and performance monitoring, unlimited projects and integrations, deploy tracking, an account dashboard and advanced search filters, and Airbrake warns you as your monthly quota reaches set thresholds. On-demand errors beyond the quota cost $5 per 10,000. The Dev plan is limited to one user and one team, Basic adds unlimited users and three teams, and Pro adds unlimited teams, audit logs and spike forgiveness. The free trial unlocks unlimited errors and performance events, but it requires a credit card and there is no permanent free plan. Airbrake has fewer advanced features than the leaders, such as replay, release health or AI triage, which is why it ranks last here.
