## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-04 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For agencies the deciding factor usually isn't error-grouping quality - it's how the billing and account model handles N separate client codebases, whose quota a noisy client eats, and whether the client can see a report. Here's how I'd rank them on that basis:
> 
> **1. Sentry** - the default, and what I'd pick unless something below describes you specifically. 100+ SDK coverage so every client stack is supported, and the Team plan (~$26/mo) is unlimited *users*, which matters when you have contractors and client-side devs rotating through. The agency catch: one org shares one pooled event quota, so a single broken client site can burn the month's budget. Workaround most agencies use is a separate org per client so the cost is cleanly passable through on the invoice. ([pricing comparison](https://www.stackfyi.com/guides/error-tracking-sentry-vs-rollbar-vs-bugsnag-2026))
> 
> **2. Rollbar** - the better buy if you have lots of *small* client sites. Cheapest paid entry (~$13/mo), a 25k errors/month free tier, unlimited users even on free, and session replay plus adaptive alerts bundled into every paid plan rather than sold as add-ons. Its grouping/triage is the strongest argument for shops
