Our verdict on Airbrake
Airbrake is a hosted error and performance monitoring service for developers and technical teams. It captures application errors, groups related issues, sends real-time alerts, and adds context through backtraces, breadcrumbs, affected users, and deployment data. Support for JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Java, Go, PHP, .NET, Android, and iOS makes it suitable for teams monitoring applications across several languages and platforms. The service is available through web, iOS, Android, and API access.
Pricing is freemium, with a free plan covering 50,000 events and 30 days of retention. The published paid plans are billed annually: Dev + errors costs $17 per month for 1 user and 1 team, with unlimited projects and integrations; Basic + errors costs $34 per month for unlimited users, 3 teams, unlimited projects, and Dev features; Pro + errors costs $68 per month for unlimited users, unlimited teams, unlimited projects, audit logs, and spike forgiveness. A 30-day free trial is also available. The paid tiers mainly expand collaboration and administration, while the higher tier adds audit logs and spike forgiveness.
Airbrake’s strongest fit is for teams that want error monitoring alongside performance monitoring, deploy tracking, source-map support, search and filtering, and release context. Integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, Slack, Trello, Zapier, Okta, OneLogin, LogRocket, Pivotal Tracker, and webhooks. API and CLI access support custom workflows. Teams needing broad application coverage and connected incident workflows should consider Airbrake; smaller groups may find the entry plan’s single-user limit restrictive, while organizations requiring a self-hosted deployment should choose a cloud-independent alternative.
