Better Stack (Uptime)** - My default pick for an agency that wants one tool to grow into. 30-second checks, good incident management, on-call scheduling, and genuinely nice white-label status pages on custom domains. The multi-project structure maps well to \"one workspace per client,\" and the alerting (phone call escalation, Slack/Teams, PagerDuty-style rotations) is better than anything else at its price. Downside: pricing climbs once you're past the starter tiers.

UptimeRobot** - Best cost-per-monitor at volume, which is the whole game if you're watching 50-200 client sites. Paid plans give you huge monitor counts, 1-minute checks, SSL and domain-expiry monitoring, and branded status pages. It's the boring, reliable choice - I'd start here if budget is the binding constraint. Roughly $34/mo for 100 sites.
