# Honeybadger

Hosted error tracking with a free single-user plan and a paid plan with unlimited users, 50,000 errors a month and 90 days of history.

78 points out of 100. #3 of 12 error monitoring tools. Vendor: Honeybadger Industries LLC. Website: https://www.honeybadger.io/

- The free Developer plan covers 1 user and 5,000 errors a month, with 15 days of error history [1].
- The Team plan costs $26 a month, or $286 a year ($23.83 a month), with unlimited users, 50,000 errors a month and 90 days of history [1].
- Official libraries are listed for JavaScript, Python, Java, .NET, PHP and Ruby, plus Cocoa for iOS and a React Native guide [3][5][6].
- Honeybadger says it is SOC 2 Type II certified and lets customers store data in the EU or the US [2].
- SAML and SSO sign-in is listed on the plan comparison [1].

Verdict: Honeybadger suits small teams on web stacks who want one clear price and error history that lasts 90 days on the first paid plan [1]. It covers all six web languages we count, source maps, iOS symbol files and common alert and ticket tools [3][4][5][8]. The catch: no Android or Flutter library is listed, and no self-hosting instructions are published [1][3]. The free plan keeps errors for only 15 days [1]. Best for: Small web teams that want flat pricing and many language libraries.
