Per-seat pricing punishes you for having 12 developers rotating across 40 client projects, and per-org pricing punishes you for keeping clients separated. So I'd weight that heavily.\n\n**1. Raygun** - My top pick for most agencies, and it's not close on the economics. Pricing is purely event-based (~$40/100k errors/mo annually), with **unlimited apps and unlimited team members on every tier**. That means one account covers every client site and your whole team, no seat math. It also bundles crash reporting, real user monitoring, and APM, which is what you actually need when a client asks \"is the site slow or is it just me?\" ([pricing](https://raygun.com/pricing), [FAQ](https://raygun.com/faq))\n\n**2.
