Sentry

What Sentry does

Error and crash monitoring. When your game crashes on a tester's machine, Sentry collects the error and stack trace so you can fix it. Has SDKs for Unity, Unreal and Godot. It is listed in our Playtesting & QA category.

Pricing and free tier

Sentry has a free tier with paid plans starting at $26/mo. Plans change often, so confirm on the official site before you pay.

Best use for beginner game devs

We rate Sentry 2/5 for beginners, which makes it better suited to experienced developers than to a first project. Very useful, but setting up an SDK and reading stack traces is for developers.

Best for: Catching crashes and errors during playtests and after launch. The Developer plan is free for one user (checked Oct 23, 2026) with error monitoring and tracing, 5k errors a month, email alerts and a 30-day lookback. Team starts at $26/mo billed annually.
