RunVouch vs Sentry Crons

Sentry Crons adds scheduled-job monitoring to Sentry error tracking. RunVouch is for jobs whose failure is not an exception: empty output, loops, overspend.

When to use which

Already on Sentry and your jobs fail by throwing? Use Sentry Crons. Agents mostly fail without throwing; that is the case RunVouch is built for. They coexist fine.
