Find out free space on tablespace

Our application has failed a few times because an 'ORA-01536: space quota exceeded for tablespace', and we would like to be able to prevent this by checking regularly the free space on the tablespace and raising an alert when it drops below certain level.

Is there any way to find out how much free space is left in a tablespace?

After some research (I am not a DBA), I tried the following:

select max_bytes-bytes from user_ts_quotas;

select sum(nvl(bytes,0)) from user_free_space;

but those queries return completely different results.

I use this query

column "Tablespace" format a13
column "Used MB"    format 99,999,999
column "Free MB"    format 99,999,999
column "Total MB"   format 99,999,999
select
   fs.tablespace_name                          "Tablespace",
   (df.totalspace - fs.freespace)              "Used MB",
   fs.freespace                                "Free MB",
   df.totalspace                               "Total MB",
   round(100 * (fs.freespace / df.totalspace)) "Pct. Free"
from
   (select
      tablespace_name,
      round(sum(bytes) / 1048576) TotalSpace
   from
      dba_data_files
   group by
      tablespace_name
   ) df,
   (select
      tablespace_name,
      round(sum(bytes) / 1048576) FreeSpace
   from
      dba_free_space
   group by
      tablespace_name
   ) fs
where
   df.tablespace_name = fs.tablespace_name;
