Marsad vs Sentry

Side by side

Sentry's column reflects their published plans as of September 2026 — check sentry.io/pricing before deciding, since it changes. If you spot something wrong here, tell us and we'll fix it.

What Sentry does better

Starting here, because it's the part that decides it for a lot of teams. If any of these matter to you, use Sentry:

• Mature native mobile crash reporting. Ours is in beta: we capture iOS signals, NSException, C++ and Swift crashes, and Android JVM crashes, ANRs and C/C++ crashes, but native frames show as addresses for now. Sentry resolves them to your code, catches hangs and watchdog kills, and has years of hardening on real devices. The two can run in the same app.
• Session replay. Watching the actual session that broke is something we don’t offer at all.
• Profiling, and far deeper performance tooling than our traces.
• Breadth. Many more platforms, SDKs and integrations, years of hardening, and an enormous body of community answers when you get stuck.
• Enterprise controls — SAML and SCIM on their Business tier, plus advanced quota management.

Where we’re actually different

Not “cheaper Sentry” — a different shape. Four things:

• Web analytics is included, not a separate vendor. Page views, referrers, UTM campaigns, devices, countries and per-page Web Vitals ship in the same SDK as your errors — cookieless, so there’s no consent banner. Sentry isn’t an analytics tool; you'd pair it with Plausible, Fathom or Vercel Analytics.
• Your traffic and your exceptions are on one screen. A conversion drop and an error spike on the same route is one story, and it’s the reason to bundle them rather than run two dashboards.
• Going over your plan pauses ingestion instead of billing you. Sentry’s Team plan bills additional events beyond what’s included. We give you a 3-day grace period with reminders, then pause — a bad deploy that fires a million errors overnight becomes a notification, not an invoice.
• An MCP server is built in, on every plan. Connect Claude, Claude Code or any MCP client and your assistant reads the issue, the symbolicated stack trace and the trace waterfall itself — then resolves or assigns it. Access is OAuth-scoped to one organization and the permissions you approve.

One thing we won't claim: that Sentry charges per seat. Their Team plan includes unlimited users, same as ours. Seat count isn't the difference between us.

Pricing, side by side

Sentry publishes a free Developer tier (one user, error monitoring and tracing, email alerts), Team at $26/mo (unlimited users, third-party integrations), and Business at $80/mo. Events beyond what's included are billed additionally. Checked August 2026 — see their pricing page for current numbers.

Ours: Free at $0 (10,000 page views, 5,000 errors, 1 project, single user), Solo at $9/mo (100,000 page views, 50,000 errors, unlimited projects, single user) and Team at $29/mo (1,000,000 page views, 250,000 errors, unlimited projects and members).

The practical gap is at the bottom of the range. Alerting and integrations — Slack, email, webhooks, Linear — start at $9/mo with us; Sentry's third-party integrations start on Team. And our paid tiers include the analytics you'd otherwise buy separately. Full detail on pricing.

Where your data lives

Marsad is hosted. There is no self-hosted edition, and we are not planning one. Your events are stored on our infrastructure, and the SDK's endpoint option only redirects ingest — it does not give you the backend.

Sentry can be self-hosted, and that is a real advantage if your constraint is data residency, an air-gapped environment, or a compliance regime that will not accept a third-party processor. If that is you, use Sentry. We would rather say so here than have you discover it after migrating.

What we do offer instead: analytics that never stores an identifier on the visitor's device, so the traffic half of your data collects no personal data to begin with. The raw IP is hashed with a server-side salt and dropped, never written to the event. That is a different answer to the privacy question than self-hosting, and for most teams it is the one that actually removes work — no consent banner, no data-processing addendum for your analytics vendor.

So, which one

Choose Sentry if mature native mobile crash reporting is what you need today, if session replay or profiling would change how you debug, or if you need enterprise SSO and provisioning.

Choose Marsad if you're one person or a small team shipping a Next.js web app and maybe an Expo app, you currently pay for error tracking and an analytics tool, and you'd rather have both in one SDK with one bill and no cookie banner.

You can decide without signing up: the live demo is a fully populated dashboard — issues, traces, analytics, logs, sessions and alerts — with no account required.
