In short

The free Developer plan covers 1 user and 5,000 errors a month, with 15 days of error history¹.
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 history¹.
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 US².
SAML and SSO sign-in is listed on the plan comparison¹.

Honeybadger suits small teams on web stacks who want one clear price and error history that lasts 90 days on the first paid plan¹. 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 days¹.

Best for: Small web teams that want flat pricing and many language libraries.
