The push
Why teams leave Sentry
Event volume above the included quota adds charges.
The free plan allows only one user.
Some teams need error data on their own infrastructure.
Self-hosting instead means taking on upgrades and storage.

Questions
Sentry alternatives, answered
Is self-hosted Sentry a different product?
It runs Sentry software on your infrastructure instead of the hosted Sentry service. Some cloud features and operations differ.
Is self-hosted Sentry open source?
Its code is available under FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0, a source-available license, not an OSI open-source license.
Will hosted Sentry bills disappear?
You no longer pay hosted plan and event charges, but you still pay for servers, storage, and maintenance.
Can I keep using Sentry SDKs?
Yes. Point compatible SDKs at your self-hosted Sentry instance and test ingestion.
Do I manage backups and upgrades?
Yes. Your team is responsible for self-hosted data, updates, and reliability.
