Sematext Experience Pricing 2026: Tier-by-Tier Breakdown

The fast facts

The pricing model

Three named tiers (Startup, Standard, Pro) priced by page views per month and retention window. Sematext's interactive pricing widget calculates per-configuration rates. Entry Startup tier covers 25K page views/month.

The three-tier ladder

• Startup, 25K page views/month entry. Suitable for very small commercial sites.
• Standard, higher page-view volumes with longer retention options.
• Pro, largest published tier with the longest retention.

Exact monthly rates are configured via Sematext's interactive pricing widget. The FAQ on the page states 'Price is metered and based on 3 factors: plan, number of PVs, and data retention'. This means there is no single headline rate, the cost depends on which tier, what page-view volume, and how many days of retention you select.

How to get a concrete rate

• Visit Sematext's pricing page and use the interactive widget to model your specific page-view volume and retention requirement.
• Annual billing typically discounts 17% vs monthly (Sematext historical pattern).
• Bundle pricing available when Sematext Experience is purchased alongside Sematext Logs or Sematext Infrastructure.

No session replay

Sematext Experience captures performance metrics, Core Web Vitals, JavaScript errors, and custom events, but does not include session replay. For teams who need replay, pair Sematext Experience with a replay-specific tool or pick a commercial RUM vendor with replay included (LogRocket, Sentry, Datadog).

How Sematext Experience compares

• Versus Raygun Basic, Raygun publishes $80/year for 100K sessions/month with a clear effective per-session rate. Sematext requires the interactive widget to get a comparable number.
• Versus Sentry, Sentry has a more generous free tier (5K errors + 50 replays/month) and a stronger SDK ecosystem. Sematext targets bundled observability buyers.
• Versus Cloudflare Web Analytics, Cloudflare is free but lacks error tracking and custom events. Sematext is paid but captures both.
• Versus Atatus, both target mid-market bundled observability. Sematext publishes a tier ladder with widget-priced rates; Atatus has moved to fully custom quote-only.

When Sematext Experience is the right choice

• You already use Sematext Logs or Sematext Infrastructure and want unified vendor management.
• You need error tracking + performance + custom events bundled without session replay.
• You can model your page-view volume and retention requirement via the vendor's interactive widget.

When Sematext Experience is the wrong choice

• You need session replay (Sematext doesn't offer one).
• You want a single headline per-session rate for procurement comparison without using the vendor's widget.
• You need rich integrations with Slack/PagerDuty/GitHub at the cheapest tier, Sentry has stronger integrations at similar price points.
