## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-07 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short answer
> 
> For most agencies, **Sentry** first, then **Honeybadger** or **Rollbar** depending on your billing style, with **GlitchTip** as the cost escape hatch and **Raygun** if unlimited apps matter more than anything else.
> 
> The agency-specific constraint that changes the ranking versus a normal "best of" list: you have many small codebases rather than one big one, developers rotate across clients, and at some point you may need to hand an account over to the client. So per-project fees and per-seat fees hurt you much more than event volume does.
> 
> **1. Sentry** - the default, and the one your clients' in-house devs will already recognize when you hand off. Broadest SDK coverage (every framework you'll get handed), source maps, releases, session replay. The catch for agencies: event quota is pooled across the whole org, so all your clients draw from one bucket and a single noisy client site can eat the month. Plan for per-project rate limits and spike protection from day one, and price the Team plan (~$26/mo base) as a floor, not a ceiling.

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
