The two things that matter most are **unlimited projects** and **per-seat or flat pricing instead of per-project pricing**. Here's what I'd actually use, in order.\n\n**1. Sentry** - the default, and the right default. Team plan is ~$26/mo (annual) for 50k errors with *unlimited projects and unlimited team members*, which is exactly the shape an agency needs: spin up a project per client at no marginal cost and pool the event quota across all of them. Broadest SDK coverage (every frontend/backend/mobile stack you'll touch), and release tracking ties an error to a specific commit and deploy - valuable when you're context-switching between eight codebases and need to know *which* client's Thursday deploy broke. Caveat: pooled quotas mean one noisy client can eat the allowance, so set per-project spend caps and inbound filters early.\n\n**2. GlitchTip** - the cost play, and my pick if you're fee-sensitive or privacy-constrained.
