FrictaSolv vs. Sentry: Which Tool is Best for Your Team?
Sentry monitors what breaks in your backend. FrictaSolv monitors what users experience in their browser — including failures that never reach your server at all. Most teams with Sentry still miss CORS errors, third-party API failures, rage clicks, and dead clicks. FrictaSolv catches those.
The core difference
FrictaSolv sees:
What happens in the browser from the user's perspective
✓ Failed API calls users hit (including 3rd party)
✓ Rage clicks and dead clicks
✓ Console errors and uncaught exceptions
✓ CORS failures, CDN errors, timeouts
✓ Slow page loads users experience
✓ Session abandonment after failure
Sentry sees:
What breaks in your application code
✓ Backend exceptions and stack traces
✓ Database errors and slow queries
✓ Release-correlated error spikes
✓ Browser JS errors (with its browser SDK)
— No rage clicks or behavioral signals
— No 3rd-party/CORS failure detection

Frequently asked questions
Does FrictaSolv replace Sentry?
No. Sentry is a backend and application error monitoring tool — it catches server exceptions, database errors, and backend crashes. FrictaSolv is a client-side frustration detector — it catches what users experience in the browser: failed API calls, rage clicks, dead clicks, and JS errors from the user's perspective. They complement each other.
If I already have Sentry, why do I need FrictaSolv?
Sentry sees errors your backend throws. FrictaSolv sees errors your users encounter. Many client-side failures — CORS errors, CDN timeouts, third-party API failures — never appear in Sentry because they never reach your backend. FrictaSolv catches all of them, plus behavioral signals like rage clicks that Sentry doesn't track at all.
Can FrictaSolv catch the same JavaScript errors as Sentry?
FrictaSolv captures console.error messages and uncaught exceptions with file and line number — the same signals as Sentry's browser SDK. The key difference is context: FrictaSolv correlates JS errors with the user's behavioral response (did they rage click after? did they abandon?), giving you frustration impact alongside the technical detail.
Which tool is better for product teams vs. engineering teams?
Sentry is built for engineering — stack traces, release tracking, issue assignment. FrictaSolv serves both: engineers get exact failed URLs and JS error details; product teams get Friction Scores and page-level frustration summaries they can act on without reading stack traces.
