Sentry alternative
A Sentry alternative built around Laravel and your clients.
Sentry is a broad error and performance platform for almost every language. nopanic is narrower: it focuses on Laravel and adds uptime, SSL, scheduled tasks, status pages and security, organised per client and priced per site instead of per event.
Why teams look for an alternative to Sentry
- Event-based pricing makes the monthly bill hard to predict when a client site has a bad day.
- Uptime, cron and status pages are separate products or extra monitors, so agencies still end up with several tools.
- Sentry organises work by project and team, not by client, which makes a portfolio of client sites harder to oversee.
