# GlitchTip

Sentry-compatible error tracking you host. Same SDK, your Postgres.

**Replaces:** Sentry

**Tier:** Easy

## Problem

Sentry Team is a prepaid event pack that grows with every noisy client. GlitchTip speaks the Sentry protocol so you keep the SDK and drop the meter.

## Stack

- [GlitchTip](https://glitchtip.com/) — Open-source Sentry-compatible error tracking

## Estimated SaaS cost saved

| You stop paying | Typical / year | Self-host instead |
|---|---:|---|
| Sentry Team | $1,200 | GlitchTip + Postgres |

**About $1,200 / year** on a small team, before you count lock-in.

## Deploy on Railway

Placeholder: GlitchTip + Postgres + Redis. Point SENTRY_DSN at your instance.

## AGENT_PROMPT

```
Replace Sentry with GlitchTip.

- Postgres + Redis. Set the public URL. Create a project, copy the DSN into the app that currently talks to sentry.io.
- Keep the Sentry SDK. Confirm one test event lands. Restrict signups.
```

## FAQ

### Can I self-host Sentry itself?

Yes, Sentry is open source too, and it is a large stack. GlitchTip is the small compatible box. Start there unless you already run Sentry.
