# Airbrake

Hosted error monitoring with per-user plans that start at $17 a month billed yearly.

66 points out of 100. #6 of 12 error monitoring tools. Vendor: Airbrake Technologies. Website: https://www.airbrake.io/

- Plans start at $17 a month billed yearly ($19 billed monthly) for 1 user [1].
- Monthly pricing starts at $19 for 25,000 errors; the next tier is $59 for 100,000 errors [1].
- Error data is kept for 30 days [1].
- Airbrake says it is SOC 2 Type II certified [1].
- Docs list SAML single sign-on through Okta [12].

Verdict: Airbrake suits small teams that want low-cost entry and a SOC 2 Type II certification the vendor names [1]. Source maps, breadcrumbs, deploy tracking and Slack, Teams, Jira, GitHub and GitLab links are documented [6][7][8][10]. The catch: history is 30 days, PagerDuty is marked as coming soon, and the free plan's limits are not published [1][10]. Best for: Small teams that want simple, low-entry pricing and a SOC 2 Type II certification.
