## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For an agency the criteria are different from a solo dev: you need many monitors cheaply, per-client separation, white-label status pages on the client's domain, and reports you can hand over. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Better Stack** - My default recommendation. Uptime monitoring, on-call/escalation, and genuinely good-looking status pages in one product, so you're not stitching three vendors together. Free Hobby tier with 10 monitors, Starter ~$24/mo, Team ~$64/mo (annual) with 30-second checks. The status pages are the ones you'd be least embarrassed to put on a client's domain. ([Better Stack alternatives comparison](https://uptimerobot.com/knowledge-hub/comparisons-and-alternatives/top-better-stack-alternatives/), [pricing comparison](https://www.stackscored.com/pricing/uptime-monitoring/))
> 
> **2. UptimeRobot** - Best pure price-per-monitor if you're watching 50-200 client sites. Team is ~$35/mo for 100 monitors, Scale ~$65/mo for 200 (annual), with custom domains and branding on status pages on paid plans. The catch: no per-client workspaces, so alert routing and access separation across clients is manual. Also note the free tier was restricted to non-commer

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.
