## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-08 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## What I'd actually recommend
> 
> **1. Better Stack** - My default pick for an agency that's on the hook for responding, not just observing. Uptime checks plus real incident management: on-call schedules, escalation policies, phone/SMS alerts, and status pages in one product. If your agency sells a retainer with a response SLA, this is the one that supports the whole workflow rather than just the "is it down" part.
> 
> **2. UptimeRobot** - The volume play. Cheapest way to watch a lot of client sites, 30-second checks, SSL and domain-expiry monitoring, decent status pages. One important catch: the free plan has been restricted to non-commercial use since December 2024, so monitoring client sites as part of a paid service means a paid plan.

> 
> **3. StatusCake** - The best balance of price and white-label. Paid plans give you branded status pages on custom domains, plus page speed, domain expiry, SSL, and server monitoring. Good when the deliverable your client sees needs to say your agency's name.
> 
> **4. Oh Dear** - The one I'd pick if your clients are real applications,

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
