It's: **many small projects, per-client separation, unpredictable noise from one bad client, and eventual handoff.** That reshuffles the ranking.\n\n**1. Sentry** - my default recommendation. Seat-based rather than per-project pricing, so one org with a project per client doesn't multiply your bill, and the Team plan includes unlimited members (useful when you add client-side stakeholders). Broadest SDK coverage, which matters when your clients are on five different stacks. Team is around $26-29/mo, Business $80-89. Two agency-specific things to set up on day one: **per-project rate limits**, because your event quota is pooled org-wide and one runaway client's loop will eat the month ([blog.sentry.io/per-project-rate-limits](https://blog.sentry.io/per-project-rate-limits)), and if you resell monitoring, look at their **Partnership Platform account provisioning API**, which creates separate customer accounts programmatically ([docs.sentry.io](https://docs.sentry.io/product/partnership-platform/account-provisioning-api/)).\nSources: [signoz.io/guides/sentry-pricing](http", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
