Sentry Acquires Emerge Tools

Sentry announced it has acquired Emerge Tools, a prominent provider of mobile app development solutions. 

Emerge Tools enables teams to deliver smaller, faster and more reliable mobile apps. Its platform powers visual regression testing at OpenAI and app size monitoring at Spotify.

Emerge Tools gives developers the ability to proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, optimize app size, and maintain a consistent user experience.

“Emerge Tools is a leader in mobile development, with products used by some of the biggest apps in the world,” said Milin Desai, CEO of Sentry. “The rise of AI is reshaping how software is built and shipped and the need for quality tooling has never been greater, especially for mobile. Adding Emerge’s products and team will help Sentry continue to build the best possible platform for mobile developers around the world.”

Sentry, which is well known for error, crash reporting, and tracing tools will integrate the Emerge Tools product line into their application monitoring platform – creating a complete mobile app monitoring solution. Sentry customers will now be able to connect the inefficiencies surfaced by Emerge Tools down to the line of code causing lag, long load times, or unresponsive UI elements. All resulting in a smoother and more enjoyable app experience for users.

By leveraging Sentry and Emerge Tools, mobile development teams can:

  • Significantly improve app performance and responsiveness.
  • Reduce app size, resulting in higher install rates and user satisfaction.
  • Enhance UI stability and prevent visual regressions.
  • Streamline development workflows and reduce debugging time.
  • Deliver superior mobile experiences that drive user engagement and retention.

This is the fourth major acquisition for Sentry, having acquired Specto in November 2021, Codecov in November 2022, and Syntax in April 2023.

Emerge Tools was founded in late 2020 by Josh Cohenzadeh & Noah Martin. They raised funding from Y Combinator, Haystack, Upside Partnership, Liquid 2 Ventures, and Matrix Partners.
