How to Switch from Sentry's Competitor: Errorception to Raygun
The migration, step by step
- 1Prepare
Audit how you actually use it
List the Sentry's Competitor: Errorception features your team touches weekly. Most teams use 20% of features for 80% of the work — those are the only ones the free alternative must cover.
- 2Prepare
Export your data first
Before anything else, export everything from Sentry's Competitor: Errorception. Keep the export in its original format plus any open standard offered (CSV, JSON, SVG, Markdown). Do not cancel yet.
- 3Pilot
Set up the free alternative
Install or open Raygun and recreate one small, real project from scratch — not a toy file. This surfaces gaps while switching is still cheap.
- 4Pilot
Run a two-week pilot in parallel
Do live work in Raygun while keeping Sentry's Competitor: Errorception read-only. Note every friction point; most disappear after the first week as muscle memory adjusts.
- 5Migrate
Migrate your assets
Move your exported files into Raygun. Where direct import is unsupported, use the open-standard export (CSV/SVG/Markdown) or a one-time conversion — then keep the originals archived.
- 6Cut the cost
Cut the subscription
Cancel Sentry's Competitor: Errorception at the end of the billing cycle (avoid losing access mid-cycle). Check the cancellation date against your renewal to dodge the next price increase.
