About
Honeybadger is an application monitoring service for Ruby on Rails, Elixir, PHP, Python, JavaScript, Node.js, and other platforms. It combines error tracking, structured logging, uptime monitoring, cron and heartbeat monitoring, status pages, and APM-style dashboards in one hosted product.
The free Developer plan includes 5,000 errors per month, 50 MB/day of logging and performance ingest, 1 uptime monitor, 1 status page, and 1 user. It is aimed at individual developers or small projects that need production monitoring with fixed usage limits that continue indefinitely on the free plan.
- 5,000 errors per month

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a perpetual, capped Developer plan with no credit card required, so it has real ongoing value rather than a short trial. Compared with the $26 Team plan, it keeps the core monitoring stack but with much tighter limits—about 10% of the error quota, 50% of the logging quota, and only 1 user/1 monitor—so a fair buyer-style estimate is about $5/month.
What's included in the free tier
- Access to logging, exception tracking, uptime monitoring, and check-ins for one user.
- 5,000 errors per month for error tracking.
- 50 MB per day for logging and performance data.
- 1 uptime monitor.
- 1 status page.
- 1 user included on the free Developer plan.
- Unlimited projects on the free Developer plan.
- 15 days of error data retention.
