Editorial take
Why it stands out
Bugsnag is easiest to misread if you assume the starting plan already includes a fixed event bundle. In reality, Select and Preferred let you choose error event and performance span levels separately.
Tool profile
Error and stability monitoring for web, mobile, and backend apps with release tracking and diagnostics.
Mobile and web teams tracking crash-free sessions by release
BugSnag (SmartBear) provides error monitoring and performance monitoring across mobile, web, desktop, and server runtimes, with stability scores and release health workflows.
Per bugsnag.com/pricing (March 2026), Free is $0/month for solo projects with core error capture (note 7 days data retention called out in the plan comparison footnote area). Select starts at $20/month with selectable monthly error event tiers (examples on the page: 50k up through 3M events) and add-on performance span packs from 1M to 150M spans. Preferred starts at $33/month with higher default event floors (e.g. 100k+ tiers) and expanded span pack ceilings. Enterprise is contact sales with SAML, advanced workflows, on-prem/SaaS options, and premium support positioning.
Events are unhandled or selected handled exceptions; spans cover app start, screen loads, web vitals-style metrics per their copy. Compare Sentry for broader platform bundling; compare Rollbar for similar error-first positioning; compare New Relic/Datadog when full APM is the goal.

Pricing snapshot
Bugsnag's current pricing page shows Free at $0 per month for solo users, with 7 days of data retention. Select and Preferred are modular plans that start at $0 until you choose your error-event level and optional performance span packs, then scale from there. Enterprise is custom. The public page makes clear that error monitoring and performance monitoring are priced separately rather than as one bundled meter.
