Honeybadger review
A broad monitoring platform for teams that need errors, uptime, logs, and deploy context.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Honeybadger is a hosted monitoring platform for developers and engineering teams running web applications in production. It brings together automatic error tracking and grouping, browser-side JavaScript monitoring, application logging, performance insights, uptime and cron monitoring, status pages, deployment tracking, alert routing, anomaly detection, and issue or notification integrations. It is suited to teams that want more than error collection, especially when uptime checks and release context belong in the same monitoring workflow.
The free Developer plan includes 5,000 errors per month, 15 days of error-data retention, one user, unlimited projects, and one uptime monitor. The Team plan costs $26 per month and adds 50,000 errors per month, 90 days of retention, unlimited users, unlimited projects, and five uptime monitors. The Business plan costs $80 per month, keeps the 50,000-error allowance and five uptime monitors, and extends retention to 180 days. Both paid plans include unlimited users and projects, while a 30-day free trial is available. Single-tenant or self-hosted deployments are offered as custom enterprise options.
Honeybadger supports web, API, and Chrome extension access, with SDKs for languages including Ruby, JavaScript, Python, Elixir, PHP, Java, Go, Cocoa, .NET/C#, Crystal, and Clojure. Source-map support helps make JavaScript stack traces more readable, while deployment tracking connects errors with releases. Integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Slack, PagerDuty, Jira, Linear, Datadog, Microsoft Teams, webhooks, and email. Choose Honeybadger if your team wants error monitoring alongside uptime and operational checks. Teams focused specifically on session replay should choose a product with that capability.
