Know before
your client does.

No — that's the whole point. The Vercel log drain connects through Vercel's settings panel, not your client's code. You just need access to their Vercel project (which you likely already have if you built or maintain it). No code changes, no deployments, no asking the client for repo access.

Add 5 lines of code with the SDK — it works with any Node.js, Next.js, React, or Express app, regardless of host. Railway, Render, Fly.io, AWS, bare VPS — if it runs JavaScript, it works. The SDK takes about 5 minutes to add and doesn't require a redeploy of anything sensitive.

Yes. Each project has its own dashboard URL you can share. You can also add the client as a seat (Pro includes 5 seats) so they can log in and see their own project's health. Most freelancers keep the dashboard to themselves and just send clients a summary when something gets fixed — but the option's there.

We never cut off data collection. If a project exceeds 2M events/month (which takes serious traffic), we bill soft overages at $0.50 per 100K events — and we'll warn you before it happens so you can plan. No sudden surprises, no monitoring blackouts, no angry calls from clients because your tool stopped working.

Yes, any time. Delete the project from your dashboard and remove the drain URL from their Vercel settings — takes 30 seconds. Your plan price stays the same regardless of how many projects you have active. Add and remove freely as your client roster changes.

Completely. Vercel logs disappear after an hour, show raw text with no grouping, and don't tell you why something broke. DeepTracer keeps errors for 30 days, groups related errors together, correlates them with your deploys, and uses AI to investigate root causes automatically — including while you're asleep. You'd need to manually watch every client's logs 24/7 to replicate that.
