The Sentry alternative with an AI fix engine you can self-host
Condux is Sentry-SDK compatible, so you switch by changing the DSN. On top of monitoring it adds the Conductor, which opens draft pull requests your team reviews and merges, and the whole stack self-hosts under a source-available license.
Sentry is the category leader and it is very good at breadth: tracing, profiling and session replay. Condux is narrower on purpose. It does error monitoring plus one thing Sentry charges separately for, an AI fix engine that opens draft PRs, and it runs inside your own boundary. If you already send events to Sentry, you can point the same SDK at Condux by swapping the DSN.
Condux vs Sentry, side by side
We only claim what ships, and we state their published facts. Nothing invented.
| Feature | Condux | Sentry |
|---|---|---|
| AI fix engine | The Conductor turns an error into a draft pull request your own team reviews and merges. Included in the monthly plan allowance | Seer, an add-on billed per active contributor per month |
| A five-person team with AI fixes | About $29 per month on Team | About $226 per month (Team base plus five Seer contributors) |
| Seats | Free and unlimited | AI is priced per contributor |
| Going over quota | Hard caps that throttle at your plan limit. Never a surprise bill | Pay-as-you-go overages on events |
| Self-hosting | First class: one Docker Compose stack or a Helm chart, source-available under the FSL | A heavy multi-service self-host, and Seer stays cloud only |
| Where the AI runs | Your boundary: bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI-compatible key | Their cloud |
| SDK | Sentry-SDK compatible: keep your SDK, change the DSN | Its own first-party SDKs (which Condux is compatible with) |
| MCP access for your AI agent | Read-only, no write tools, on a token scoped to one project | An MCP server too, taking an API token and including write tools |
| After the PR | Watches the issue's real stats and auto-resolves with evidence once it stays silent | Not advertised |
When to choose Sentry over Condux
Balanced beats biased. Here is where they are the better call.
- You need full application performance monitoring: distributed tracing, profiling and session replay in one place.
- You want the largest ecosystem of integrations and the deepest platform coverage.
- You are happy paying per contributor for the AI and running everything in their cloud.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep my Sentry SDK?
Yes. Condux ingests the Sentry envelope and store formats, so your existing Sentry SDK works by changing the DSN. No code rewrite.
Is the AI fix engine included?
Yes. Every plan, including the free one, includes a monthly allowance of Conductor fix runs, and each run opens a draft pull request your team reviews. Sentry's Seer is billed separately per active contributor.
Can I self-host Condux like self-hosted Sentry?
Yes, and the AI comes with it. Condux runs from one Docker Compose stack or a Helm chart under the FSL, and the fix engine runs on your own model key inside your boundary. Sentry's Seer is cloud only.
