Netwarden Apps vs Sentry

Pricing model

Sentry: per-event reservoir with $0.000128/event overage on the Team plan. Netwarden Apps: fixed monthly tier ($0 / $9 / $29 / $79), no per-event meter.

Entry paid plan

Sentry Team: $26/month for 50,000 errors. Netwarden Apps Solo: $9/month for 100,000 errors.

Self-hosted

Sentry: Docker Compose with ~10 services (Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Snuba, ClickHouse, Relay, web, workers). Netwarden Apps: a single Bun-compiled binary plus SQLite or Postgres.

Session replay

Sentry: yes (DOM playback, console, network). Netwarden Apps: no, not on the roadmap.

Distributed tracing

Sentry: yes (span trees, profiling, flame graphs). Netwarden Apps: no (request timing only).

Mobile SDKs

Sentry: iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Unity. Netwarden Apps: none in v1; JavaScript / Node and Python (alpha) only.

Dependency-update CVE alerts

Sentry: not offered. Netwarden Apps: daily OSV.dev cross-reference across 8 ecosystems (npm, PyPI, RubyGems, Go, Cargo, Maven, NuGet, Composer).

Compliance

Sentry: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR DPAs, enterprise SSO. Netwarden Apps: alpha, no certifications today.

Founded

Sentry: 2012, public-company customers. Netwarden Apps: 2026, alpha.

1M-error-month bill

Sentry Team: ~$148/month at 1M errors (base + overage). Netwarden Apps Studio: $29/month flat regardless of volume.

For a typical JavaScript app, the swap looks like this:

// before
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/browser";
Sentry.init({ dsn: "https://..." });

// after
import { init } from "@netwarden/sdk";
init({ dsn: "https://[email protected]/1" });

Source maps work the same way (upload via CLI on deploy). Custom fingerprint logic ports over with a small adapter. Replay calls (Sentry.replayIntegration) do not have a Netwarden equivalent — the codemod flags those as unsupported. For Sentry’s own feature list and current pricing, see https://sentry.io/welcome/ and https://sentry.io/pricing/.

Is Netwarden a drop-in Sentry replacement?

Partially. Netwarden Apps replaces Sentry for browser and Node.js error tracking, source-map symbolication, fingerprint-based dedup, and release tracking. It does not replace Sentry for session replay, distributed tracing, profiling, or mobile (iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Unity) SDKs — those features have no Netwarden equivalent today and aren’t on the roadmap.

Does Netwarden have session replay?

No. Netwarden Apps does not record DOM playback, mouse moves, or network panels, and we have no roadmap commitment to add it. The storage cost is at odds with our $9 to $29/month pricing tiers. If session replay is a hard requirement, Sentry, PostHog, and Highlight all ship it; Sentry is the closest analog if you also need errors.

Can I migrate from Sentry to Netwarden in less than an hour?

For a JavaScript or Node.js app, yes — about 30 minutes is typical. The swap is replacing @sentry/browser with @netwarden/sdk, swapping the DSN, and re-uploading source maps via the CLI. captureException, setUser, setContext, and addBreadcrumb have identical signatures. Replay, tracing, and mobile call sites need to be removed; themigrate-from-sentry codemod flags those automatically.

What’s cheaper at 1M errors/month: Sentry or Netwarden?

Netwarden Apps Studio is $29/month flat at 1,000,000 errors. Sentry Team is roughly $148/month at the same volume ($26 base plus 950,000 errors at $0.000128 each). A traffic spike that 10x’s your error count costs $0 extra on Netwarden Studio and adds about $122 on Sentry Team. Numbers verified at sentry.io/pricing on 2026-05-09.

Does Netwarden support mobile SDKs like Sentry?

No. Netwarden Apps ships JavaScript / Node and Python (alpha) SDKs only. Sentry ships iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Unity, and Unreal SDKs. If you ship a mobile or game client, Sentry is the right tool today. If your stack is web plus backend (Next.js, Express, Hono, FastAPI, Flask, Django), Netwarden covers it.
