Business at $80/month (annual) adds custom dashboards, data forwarding, and advanced query tools over Team. Three times the Team price — here's when it's worth it.
Build bespoke visualisations from your Sentry event data. Track error rates by release, compare team-specific error counts, or build executive-level reliability scorecards. Teams with SRE functions or weekly engineering metrics reviews benefit most.
Stream your Sentry event data in real-time to external systems: Apache Kafka, Splunk, Elasticsearch, Amazon S3, Google BigQuery. Critical for security teams (SIEM integration), data engineering teams building observability data lakes, and compliance requirements.
Ad-hoc query your raw event data with a SQL-like interface. Filter by any attribute, cross-reference errors with performance data, and build custom explorations. Replaces the need to export CSVs for analysis in many cases.
Link related issues across different Sentry projects (e.g., a frontend error caused by a backend API failure). Crucial for microservices architectures where a single user-facing problem spans multiple services.
Define business rules for routing high-priority errors — e.g., payment errors go to the payments team's oncall, authentication errors page the security team. Goes beyond Team's simpler alert routing.
Sentry Business costs $80/month with annual billing, or $96/month on a monthly plan. Like the Team plan, it is flat-fee with unlimited user seats. The base plan includes 50,000 errors and 100,000 performance units — same as Team — but adds custom dashboards, data forwarding, the Discover query builder, and volume discounts on overages.
The main additions in Business are: custom dashboards (build your own visualisations), data forwarding (stream events to Kafka, Splunk, BigQuery, or S3), the Discover query builder for ad-hoc analysis, cross-project issue linking, escalation rules, and priority routing. Business also offers better volume discounts on event overages. It does not include SSO/SAML, SLAs, or dedicated support — those require Enterprise.
Upgrade from Team to Business when you need: (1) custom dashboards for engineering metrics reporting, (2) data forwarding to your data warehouse or SIEM, (3) advanced querying with Discover, or (4) consistent event volumes over 100K errors/month where Business volume discounts make financial sense. Most startups and SMBs are well-served by Team. Business is more relevant for mid-market engineering teams with dedicated SRE or platform teams.
