# Exceptionless

Open-source error tracking with .NET and JavaScript clients, a free hosted plan and paid plans from $15 a month.

41 points out of 100. #11 of 12 error monitoring tools. Vendor: Exceptionless. Website: https://exceptionless.com/

- The free plan allows 3,000 events a month and keeps events for 3 days [1].
- The Small plan costs $15 a month for 15,000 events and 30 days of history [1].
- Official client docs cover only .NET and JavaScript [4].
- The server is Apache-2.0 licensed on GitHub and can be self-hosted with Docker or Kubernetes [9][10].
- Slack, webhooks and error notifications are paid features; the free plan sends only daily summaries [1].

Verdict: Exceptionless suits small .NET and JavaScript teams who want an open-source server they can host themselves, or a cheap hosted plan [1][4][10]. It documents source maps, version tracking, Slack and webhooks [5][7][8]. The catch: its clients cover only two languages [4], the free plan keeps events 3 days [1], and its pricing, security and docs pages name no SOC 2 report, SSO or EU region [1][3][11]. Best for: Small .NET and JavaScript teams that may want to self-host.
