The answer, as recorded

My picks for an agency looking after many client sites, best first: 1. **Oh Dear.** This is where I'd start. It's built for web agencies and checks uptime, SSL, broken links, Lighthouse performance, DNS and cron jobs from one dashboard. You can tag sites and send each client's alerts to a different channel, and you can put your brand on status pages and reports for a care plan or retainer. A third-party review lists the prices as about $17/mo for 10 sites, $34 for 25 and $59 for 100. Check the official pricing page before you rely on those.

The catch: the free plan is for personal, non-commercial use only, so an agency needs a paid plan. ([UptimeRobot comparison](https://uptimerobot.com/knowledge-hub/monitoring/11-best-uptime-monitoring-tools-compared/), [Notifier agency guide](https://notifier.so/guides/best-uptime-monitoring-for-agencies/)) 3. **Better Stack.** Choose this if you need a proper incident setup: on-call rotas, unlimited phone and SMS alerts, logs, and branded status pages on your own domain. It costs more as you grow because users are about $29 each per month, extra status pages about $12/mo, and each block of 50 monitors about $21/mo. ([betterstack.com/pricing](https://betterstack.com/pricing), [betterstack.com/uptime](https://betterstack.com/uptime)) 4. **Hyperping.** Worth a look if clients want to see white-label status pages on their own domains. It has a dedicated agency offering. ([hyperping.com/use-cases/agencies](https://hyperping.com/use-cases/agencies)) 5. **StatusCake.** Solid, long-running monitoring that covers uptime, page speed, SSL and domain expiry. The sources disagree on white-labelling, though. One says it comes with paid plans. A competitor's page says fully white-label status pages only come with the separately sold Gold status-page tier, about $208/mo. Check this before you commit. ([statuscake.com/pricing](https://www.statuscake.com/pricing/), [RunCloud](https://runcloud.io/blog/top-website-uptime-monitoring-tools), [PerkyDash comparison](https://perkydash.com/comparison/statuscake-alternative)) 6. **Pulsetic or Notifier.** Cheaper options focused on white-labelling. Notifier's $19/mo Team plan includes 100 monitors, 50 status pages on custom domains and 3 team members. ([pulsetic.com/white-label-website-monitoring](https://pulsetic.com/white-label-website-monitoring/), [Notifier guide](https://notifier.so/guides/best-uptime-monitoring-for-agencies/)) **Choosing between them:** Plan on 3-5 monitors per client, which means 100+ monitors once you have 20-30 clients. If your team is 3 or more people, avoid pricing per seat. Most of the rankings I found were written by monitoring vendors, so use a free trial to confirm prices and white-label features.
