Sazabi vs Sentry: How They Compare for Teams That Debug From Logs
Prices and facts checked on vendor pages on Nov 8, 2026.
Sentry is built around application errors: an SDK in your code captures an exception, Sentry groups it, and you work the stack trace. Sazabi is AI-native observability and security built around logs. It reads what your systems already write, detects issues without hand-built monitors, and investigates them. Sazabi wrote this page, so check every Sentry fact against the sources listed below.
At a Glance
How Sentry Works and Charges
As of November 8, 2026, Sentry's pricing page lists a free Developer plan limited to one user, Team at $26/mo, and Business at $80/mo, both when billed annually with default prepaid data. Enterprise is custom. Team and Business include 50k errors, 5M spans, 50 replays, and 5 GB of logs.
Errors and spans are bought in volume tiers, with separate reserved and pay-as-you-go prices. Extra logs can only be bought through your pay-as-you-go budget, at $0.50 per GB on both paid plans, according to the pricing docs. Seer, Sentry's AI debugging agent, is billed separately at $40 per active contributor per month. An active contributor is anyone who makes two or more pull requests to a Seer-enabled repository.
Sentry's docs say your quota is consumed by events, not issues, and that similar events are grouped into issues by a fingerprint. Logs are structured, trace-connected, and searchable alongside errors, with a query window of 14 days on Team and 30 days on Business. Sentry also runs an MCP server that connects AI assistants to your Sentry account over OAuth.
How Sazabi Works and Charges
Sazabi starts from logs, which is where the failure that never raised an exception shows up. A queue that quietly stalls, a retry loop, or a customer-facing timeout leaves traces only in logs. Sazabi watches incoming logs, opens an issue when it detects a problem, and attaches the evidence. Repeats of the same problem are grouped into one issue rather than a new one each time.
You can ask questions in plain language, search logs, build dashboards, and get alerts in Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email. Sazabi also scans connected repositories for vulnerabilities and files confirmed findings as issues. It does not write fixes. It hands root cause to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another coding agent through MCP, CLI, or API.
On the pricing page, Hobby is $50, Startup is $200, and Growth is $1,000 per 30-day cycle. Each includes 200 GB of logs ingested, 50 GB of logs scanned, 20 issues, and 500 AI credits. After that: $0.10 per GB ingested, $0.10 per GB scanned, $4 per issue, and $0.01 per AI credit. See Sazabi pricing for plan limits. There is no yearly billing.
Key Differences for a Log-Centered Team
The unit of work. In Sentry, the starting point is an event from an SDK. In Sazabi, it is a log line, and an issue is a problem Sazabi decided was worth your attention. If your incidents are mostly exceptions with clear stack traces, Sentry's model fits. If they are slow degradations and missing events, logs carry more of the story.
Where the bill grows. Sentry's cost follows errors, spans, replays, and logs, each with its own quota. Sazabi's follows gigabytes ingested, gigabytes scanned by queries, and issues surfaced. For Sentry cost details, see Sentry pricing explained.
Retention for debugging. Sentry's logs query window tops out at 30 days on Business. Sazabi retains logs for 30 days on Startup and 90 days on Growth.
Fixing the bug. Sentry's Seer docs describe pull request creation and delegation to external coding agents. Sazabi stops at diagnosis and handoff, so the coding agent you already use does the editing.
Worked Example
Assumptions: 300 GB of logs in one month, nothing else counted. Sentry Team with annual billing, logs bought through pay-as-you-go. Sazabi Hobby, staying under 50 GB scanned, 20 issues, and 500 AI credits.
This is not like for like. Sentry's base also covers 50k errors and 5M spans, and Sazabi's 7-day retention is shorter than the 14-day query window on Sentry Team. Treat it as a way to check your own numbers, not a verdict.
When to Pick Sentry
Pick Sentry when your main pain is exceptions in application code and you want stack traces, release tracking, and issue ownership today. Its pricing page also lists session replay, profiling, cron monitors, and uptime monitors, which Sazabi's pricing page does not. Sentry's free Developer plan is a reasonable place for a solo developer to start.
Pick Sentry if you want an agent that proposes code changes inside the tool. Seer can create pull requests. Pick it if you need to choose between US and EU data storage at signup, which Sentry documents. It also publishes its source under the Functional Source License, and states a goal that anyone can run Sentry themselves.
When to Pick Sazabi
Pick Sazabi when production problems show up in logs before they show up as exceptions, and you do not want to write monitors for each one. It fits teams that already keep a coding agent open all day and want investigations delivered to it. Its Startup plan adds Linear, PagerDuty, and incident.io routing. It also suits teams that want one flat monthly plan and a 90-day retention option on Growth.

Trying Sazabi Alongside Sentry
You do not have to choose. Sazabi's Sentry SDK source lets you point an SDK at a Sazabi DSN. In JavaScript, a multiplexed transport sends every event to both. In Python, sending to both copies only error events to Sazabi. Setup details are on the Sentry integration page.
Sazabi can also receive Sentry issue, comment, and alert events by webhook, and its agent can query Sentry through the Sentry MCP connector during an investigation. Route Sazabi issues to Slack and compare the two for a few weeks on the same incidents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I send errors to Sentry and Sazabi at the same time?
Yes. Sazabi documents a Sentry SDK setup that points at a Sazabi DSN, either replacing your Sentry DSN or sending to both. In JavaScript the SDK has a built-in multiplexed transport. In Python, sending to both copies only error events to Sazabi.
Does Sazabi replace Sentry stack traces and release tracking?
Not by itself. Sentry sells error monitoring, session replay, and profiling as products. Sazabi starts from logs and can ingest Sentry SDK errors, so many teams keep Sentry for exception workflows and add Sazabi for failures that never throw.
Does Sazabi fix bugs automatically?
No. Sazabi investigates root cause and hands the finding to your coding agent through MCP, CLI, or API. Sentry describes a separate Seer product that can create pull requests, and it is priced per active contributor.
How are logs priced on Sentry compared with Sazabi?
Sentry lists 5 GB of logs on every plan, then $0.50 per GB through a pay-as-you-go budget. Sazabi includes 200 GB ingested per 30-day cycle on each paid plan, then $0.10 per GB. The two products meter different things, so compare them on your own volumes.
