OpenTelemetry-native observability
Error tracking toolOpenTelemetry-native
Dash0 is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform, ensuring seamless, standardized data collection, analysis, and interoperability across modern cloud, serverless, and distributed systems.
Proprietary Ecosystem
Sentry can ingest OpenTelemetry but remaps it into a proprietary schema, discarding first-class OTel semantics. Advanced features often depend on Sentry’s SDKs. Analysis is confined to SnQL, Sentry's proprietary query language.
Simple Pricing
Dash0 offers transparent pricing based on data points sent, not bytes or users, ensuring cost predictability with no hidden fees.
Complex Pricing
Sentry’s pricing quickly becomes complex, combining tiered plans with additional charges for event volume, data retention, third-party integrations, support, and features like custom dashboards.
Easy To Use
Dash0’s intuitive, minimalist UI streamlines observability with smart color cues, keyboard navigation, and effortless querying - no PromQL required.
Surface-level Dashboarding
Sentry’s UI is optimized for fast error resolution, but lacks the depth required for end-to-end observability - limiting the overall insight and context available.
Open Standards
Dash0 embraces open standards like OpenTelemetry, Perses, and Prometheus, ensuring flexibility, interoperability, and future-proof observability - without vendor lock-in.
Vendor Lock-In
Sentry immediately converts OTel data ingestion into its proprietary schema and querying is limited to SnQL. This creates significant vendor lock-in.
Full Resource-based Context & Navigation
Dash0’s resource-centric approach seamlessly correlates logs, spans, and metrics using semantic conventions, enabling one-click navigation for effortless troubleshooting.
Trace-centric & Manual Correlation
Sentry focuses on front-end events and spans for issue resolution. Correlation with logs and metrics is manual and tag-driven, limiting broader context and making system-wide troubleshooting more fragmented.
Telemetry Spam Filter
Dash0’s telemetry spam filter lets users easily drop noisy telemetry singnals in just two clicks - no complex setup, no queries required.
Manual Filtering Rules
Sentry captures high volumes of events by default, often including noisy or low-value errors. Controlling signal quality requires manual setup across SDK sampling and custom ingestion filters.
Pay For What You Use
In Dash0 you only pay for the telemetry data you actually use, after filtering with spam filter.
Pay For What You Ingest
With Sentry you have to pay for all ingested data, regardless of applied filtering mechanisms within Sentry.
Triage & Root Cause Analysis
Dash0’s automated telemetry comparison quickly identifies bottlenecks and anomalies, accelerating root cause analysis and reducing MTTR.
Manual & Trace-centric Root Cause Analysis
Sentry surfaces slow spans and trace paths to spot bottlenecks, but root cause analysis remains trace/event‑centric. Linking metrics or logs typically requires manual, complex setup - limiting visibility and efficiency.
