Trapify as a Sentry alternative
Most teams looking to move off Sentry are not unhappy with the product — they are unhappy with an event-volume bill that grows when their application misbehaves. Trapify charges per seat, so a bad deploy costs you a bad afternoon rather than a budget overrun.
You keep your SDK
Trapify implements the Sentry ingest wire protocol. Your existing @sentry/browser or
@sentry/node instrumentation keeps working — point SENTRY_DSN at Trapify
and redeploy. There is no re-instrumentation project, and no window during which you are blind.
See the compatibility guide.

When Sentry is still the right answer
If you depend on performance tracing, session replay, or profiling, Trapify does not replace them and is not trying to. Trapify does one job — catch the exception, group it, tell the team — and prices that job honestly. Teams that only ever used Sentry for errors are the ones who save.
Try it against staging first.
