RewindRewind vs Sentry
Sentry is a deep error-and-performance platform. RewindRewind is a simpler tool that tracks product events and catches exceptions on the same bill. Both will tell you when your app breaks; they differ in depth and in how the price adds up.
Pricing
| RewindRewind | Sentry | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Winner. 100,000 signals/mo (events + errors) | 5,000 errors/mo |
| Starting price | Winner. $0, then $200 / million signals | From ~$26/mo, usage billed on top |
| How errors are priced | Winner. Same $200/million as any signal | Errors, spans, and replays are separate meters |
| Rough cost at ~1M errors/mo | ~$180 (after the included 100k) | Often $150–500+ |
| Surprise-bill control | Winner. Spend cap on by default | An on-demand budget you set |
marks the stronger option in each row.

When Sentry is the better choice
Teams who live in stack traces and need real depth: distributed tracing, performance monitoring, session replay, and a long list of integrations. At large error volumes Sentry's reserved-volume discounts also matter.
When RewindRewind is the better choice
Teams who want product events and exceptions in one place, on one flat bill, and don't need tracing or replay. The free tier is far larger, and the price is one number you can predict.
Common questions about RewindRewind and Sentry
Is RewindRewind cheaper than Sentry?
It depends on what you send. RewindRewind includes 100,000 signals a month and then charges $200 per million, with events and errors on the same meter. Sentry starts around $26 a month and meters errors, spans, and replays separately, so the total depends on how many of its products you use. At roughly 1 million errors a month RewindRewind lands near $180, while Sentry commonly runs $150 to $500 or more.
Can RewindRewind replace Sentry?
For grouping exceptions, reading stack traces, symbolicating with source maps, and alerting on new issues, yes. If you depend on distributed tracing, performance monitoring, or session replay, RewindRewind does not have those and Sentry is the better fit.
Do I have to change SDKs to move from Sentry?
No. RewindRewind accepts the Sentry envelope format, so you can keep Sentry's browser SDK and point its DSN at RewindRewind. Native SDKs are also available for the browser, Node, Ruby, Rails, Python, and Go.
