Sentry alternatives (2026), with picks for Laravel

We make Lampwick. Here's where each tool is the better pick.

Sentry is hard to replace if you run many languages: it has SDKs for about 20 platforms, session replay and profiling, and Team is $29 a month for 50k errors and 5M spans.^{1 2} People look elsewhere for a lower price at volume, a Sentry-compatible tool they can run themselves, EU ownership, or a tool built for one framework. For Laravel and PHP teams there are specialist options below.

The short list

For any stack

Rollbar

Error tracking across languages. The free plan is $0 forever with 5,000 occurrences a month and 30 days of history; paid plans keep 90 (Essentials) or 180 days (Advanced), but the page shows no prices for them.³

Verdict: worth a look if you want longer history than Sentry's 90 days.

GlitchTip

Open source and "compatible with Sentry client SDKs", with errors, performance, uptime checks and logs.⁵ Hosted plans are $15 (100k events), $50 (500k) and $250 (3M) a month; you can also run it on your own server.⁴

Verdict: the pick if you want to keep your Sentry SDKs and pay less, or run it yourself.

Bugsink

Point your existing Sentry SDKs at a new DSN and it works. It's run by a Dutch company with data in the EU, hosted from €16 a month for 75k events, or free to run yourself.⁶

Verdict: the pick for an EU-run, Sentry-compatible error tracker.

Honeybadger

Error tracking with uptime monitors, check-ins and status pages. Developer is free (5k errors, 15 days, 1 monitor); Team is $26 with 50k errors, 90 days and 5 monitors every 2 minutes; Business is $80 with 180 days.⁷

Verdict: the pick for a small team that wants errors and a few uptime checks in one simple tool.

AppSignal

APM, errors, logs and uptime for Ruby, Elixir, Node.js, Python, Go, Java, Rust and PHP. The paid plan shown is €219 a year (€18.25 a month) for 250k requests.⁸

Verdict: the pick when you want APM and errors together across a few languages.

Better Stack

Error tracking next to uptime, status pages, on-call and logs. The free tier has 100k exceptions, 10 monitors and 1 status page, for personal projects; extra exceptions cost $0.000050 each with data in Europe.⁹

Verdict: the pick when incident management and on-call matter as much as errors.

For Laravel and PHP teams

Sentry's sentry/sentry-laravel package works well and supports Laravel 11 and later.¹³ These tools trade breadth across languages for more Laravel detail, or a lower price.

Flare

Built by Spatie in Belgium for Laravel, PHP and JavaScript, with first-class support for queues, jobs and Livewire.¹⁴ Standard is €29 a month for 100k errors, 20M spans and 5M logs, with unlimited projects and users.¹⁰

Verdict: the closest Laravel-first replacement for Sentry's error tracking. More in Lampwick vs Flare.

Laravel Nightwatch

First-party from Laravel. Pro is $20 a month for 7.5M events (requests, queries, jobs, exceptions and more) and 30 days, with unlimited apps and seats.¹¹ Laravel only, no frontend errors.

Verdict: the cheapest way to see everything inside a Laravel app. See Lampwick vs Nightwatch.

Inspector

Transaction-based APM for Laravel, Symfony, CakePHP, CodeIgniter and Drupal, from €15 a month for 300k transactions and 7 days.¹²

Verdict: the pick for PHP teams with several frameworks.

Lampwick

Exceptions grouped into issues, plus requests, queries, jobs and logs from your Laravel app, and uptime, SSL, domain and DNS checks, schedule health and status pages (Pro and up). Pro is €29 for 5M events, 14 days and 20 monitors. It falls short of Sentry on languages, history and the browser: browser errors come from a script tag, without source maps.

Verdict: the pick for a Laravel app that needs error tracking and site checks in one tool. Details in Lampwick vs Sentry and on the error tracking page.

Try it with your agent

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, in your app's repository:

Set up Lampwick monitoring for this app. Read https://lampwick.dev/docs/agents.md and follow it. Keep the tokens out of the chat, use a dev or staging environment, and give me the claim link when the first event has arrived.

The agent creates a trial workspace without an account and connects your app. You claim it from the link it gives you and choose what the agent may keep: how it works.
