Honeybadger review

Honeybadger takes second place because it covers the first three things a small team needs in production, errors, uptime checks and a status page, at the same $26 entry price as Sentry. The Team plan includes unlimited users and projects, 50,000 errors a month with 90 days of retention, 100 MB a day of logging and performance data through Honeybadger Insights, five uptime monitors and one status page. Cron jobs and background tasks can report check-ins, so a job that silently stops running raises an alert. Premium integrations such as Jira, PagerDuty, SMS and webhooks start on Team, while the free Developer plan covers GitHub, Slack and email. Paying yearly drops Team to $286. The trade-offs are a narrower feature set than Sentry for tracing and replay, and a free plan that keeps errors for only 15 days and allows one user.
