> ## Best error monitoring for agencies
> 
> The agency problem is different from the in-house problem: you have many small codebases instead of one big one, contractors and client stakeholders cycling in and out, and volume you can't forecast because one client's bad deploy can blow your budget. That shapes the ranking.
> 
> **1. Sentry** - The default, and the right default for most agencies. Broadest SDK coverage (JS frameworks, PHP/Laravel, Rails, Python, mobile, everything), source maps and release tracking that actually work, and session replay so you can see what the client's user did before the crash instead of trading screenshots. Seats are unlimited on Team and above, so adding a client's internal dev to one project costs nothing. The catch: per-event pricing meters into pay-as-you-go past your quota, so a runaway client project can produce a surprise bill. Set per-project spend caps and rate limits on day one.

> 
> **2. Rollbar** - The best structural fit for the agency model specifica
