JAMP vs Sentry
Sentry is powerful for deep error and performance monitoring, but the SDK is heavy and the bill grows quickly. JAMP gives you source-mapped error tracking in a tiny script, alongside privacy-first analytics and uptime, for a fraction of the price.

Why teams choose JAMP over Sentry
Lighter on the page
Sentry's browser SDK is tens of kilobytes. JAMP's error script is around 1.5 KB and its analytics tracker is 739 bytes, so you get error tracking without the page-weight tax.
Errors and analytics together
Sentry is deep on errors but blind to who is actually on your site. JAMP pairs error tracking with privacy-first analytics and uptime in one dashboard.
Priced for small teams
Sentry gets expensive as volume climbs. JAMP starts free and stays affordable, with the monitoring suite included on every plan.
In fairness
Sentry is the gold standard for deep application error and performance monitoring, with rich tracing, integrations and release tooling. For large, backend-heavy teams who need that depth, Sentry goes further than JAMP.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. JAMP offers source-mapped JavaScript error tracking in a roughly 1.5 KB script, versus Sentry's much larger browser SDK, and pairs it with analytics and uptime.
Does JAMP symbolicate stack traces with source maps?
Yes. Upload your source maps and JAMP maps minified stack traces back to your original code, the same as Sentry.
When is Sentry the better choice?
For large, backend-heavy teams that need deep distributed tracing, rich integrations and release tooling, Sentry goes further than JAMP.
