Netwarden vs Honeybadger
Honeybadger is a long-running hosted error tracker with its own SDKs for Ruby, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Go, Elixir, Java and more. Plans include uptime monitoring and cron check-ins, and its Insights product adds logs. Netwarden accepts Sentry SDKs instead.
Free for one project and 50K events a month.

Pick Netwarden if
- You already use Sentry SDKs, or want SDKs you can point at Sentry again later.
- You want more included: 50K events free, 250K for $9 a month.
- You run servers, and want their health and security checks in the same place.
Pick Honeybadger if
- Your stack is Ruby or Elixir and you prefer an SDK built around it.
- You want uptime, check-ins and logs from one long-established vendor.
Moving from Honeybadger
Moving from Honeybadger means swapping its SDK for Sentry's in each app, usually a few lines per app. Netwarden then takes the Sentry SDK as it is.
