## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short answer
> 
> **Sentry** is the default, and for most agencies it's the right one. Everything else is a reason-specific pick.
> 
> ---
> 
> **1. Sentry** - the one I'd start with. Projects are a first-class concept, so one client per project (or per org, if you want hard data separation and separate invoices), and Team/Business plans include **unlimited users** - which matters when you're adding and removing client-side stakeholders constantly. Billing is event-volume based, not seat or project based, so twenty small client sites cost roughly what one busy site costs. Team is ~$26/mo annually (50K errors, 90-day retention), Business ~$80/mo, free tier 5K errors. The catch: it meters errors, performance spans, session replays and profiling *separately*, so overages sneak up - set per-project spend caps on day one.

> 
> **2. Honeybadger** - the best fit if you run many small client sites rather than a few big apps. Flat, predictable pricing from ~$29/mo, and it bundles **error tracking + uptime monitoring + cron/background-job checks** in one product.
