> **1. Sentry** - the default, and the one I'd pick unless you have a specific reason not to. Broadest SDK coverage (every major language and framework), plus session replay, tracing, and release/commit tracking so you can tie a spike to the deploy that caused it. Free tier is 5k errors/month; the Team plan is $26/mo for 50k errors. The one caveat: past your quota it meters into pay-as-you-go per event, so set a spend cap on day one.
> 
> **2. Honeybadger** - best if predictable billing matters more than feature depth. Same $26/mo, same 50k errors, but it bundles uptime monitoring and cron/check-in monitoring, so it replaces two or three tools at seed stage. When you blow past the limit it stops accepting events at ~125% of plan rather than billing you - you get incomplete data instead of a surprise invoice, which is the right failure mode for a small team.
> 
> **3. Rollbar** - the cheapest credible paid entry point at ~$15.83/mo for 25k events, with 5k occurrences free. Strong grouping/deduplication and good deploy-tracking. Worth a look if you're volume-sensitive and don't need replay.
> 
> **4. Firebase Crashlytics** - if you're mobile-first, use this, and it
