> # Best error monitoring tools for agencies
> 
> The agency-specific constraint is what matters here: many small client projects on different stacks, and you need per-project isolation without paying per-project. Most pricing is per-event or per-seat, so the tools that let you add unlimited projects to one plan win.
> 
> **1. Sentry** - The default, and what I'd pick unless you have a reason not to. Unlimited projects and unlimited users on a single plan, so you can spin up a project per client at no marginal cost; billing is on event volume, and SDKs cover basically every stack an agency touches (JS/React, PHP/Laravel, WordPress, Rails, Python, iOS/Android). Free tier ~5k errors, Team ~$26/mo, Business ~$80/mo. Also has release health and session replay, which is genuinely useful for proving to a client that a bug is real.
> 
> **2. Honeybadger** - Best choice if you want *predictable* bills. Flat pricing (from ~$29/mo) instead of event-metered, so one client's runaway error loop doesn't blow up your invoice - a real hazard when you don't control the code post-handoff. It also bundles uptime monitoring and cron/background-job checks, which means one vendor instead of three for a small shop. Gr
