## In-depth: why these tools made the cut

### Why Sentry is the default error tracker

Sentry review

Sentry has the broadest SDK coverage (every major framework), a generous free tier, and continuous expansion into performance monitoring, profiling, and now session replay. For most teams, Sentry is the rational starting point and often stays the whole way.

Sentry's pricing can climb at high event volume. For cost-sensitive teams, GlitchTip (open-source) or Highlight.io offer cheaper alternatives.

## How to choose debugging software

1. Start with error trackingEvery team should have error tracking from day one. Sentry is the default (free tier is generous, broad SDK support, performance monitoring included). Rollbar and Bugsnag are credible alternatives.
2. Add session replay when frontend bugs matterWhen 'it doesn't repro' becomes the daily blocker, session replay (LogRocket, FullStory, Sentry Replay, OpenReplay) pays for itself. Bundle with error tracking when possible to reduce vendor count.
3. Observability for backend root causeFor complex distributed systems, traces (Datadog APM, Honeycomb, Tempo) beat logs alone. Add observability after error tracking and basic logs are in place.
