About
Exceptionless is a .NET exception reporting and event logging service for ASP.NET, Web API, WebForms, WPF, Console, and MVC applications. It collects unhandled exceptions and custom events through a client library, then organizes them into dashboards with stack traces, tags, grouping, and event statistics.
The hosted pricing page lists a free plan with 1 project, 1 user, 3 days of event retention, and 3,000 events per month. Paid plans add more projects, users, retention, event volume, and premium features such as searching, web hooks, Slack integration, and Zapier integration.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped starter plan with no credit card required, so it has real value but limited reach. Compared with the $15 Small plan, it keeps only 1 project, 1 user, and 3,000 events per month while excluding premium features, so it feels worth about $3/month - roughly 20% of the cheapest paid plan.
