without warning. paste your URL and get 100+ checks in 60
seconds with AI fix prompts.
free tier, no signup needed
05

stripe checkout is one line of code. tax handling, subscription
management, dunning, all done. set it up before launch because
free signups don't validate anything.

users do
session replays, funnels, feature flags, A/B tests, you stop
guessing why users churn and start fixing the actual problems.

in real time
users won't tell you when your app breaks. they'll just leave.
sentry alerts you the second something goes wrong with full stack
traces and replays.
