Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order - plus one caveat up front: a lot of what ranks for \"agency uptime monitoring\" is thin SEO sites with no track record (WakeStat, Uptimeify, Pulsx, Tracefox, Nova Uptime, Notifier). Don't put 50 client sites behind a vendor that might vanish. Stick to the established ones.\n\n**1. Better Stack** - My default pick. External uptime, Playwright-based transaction monitoring, heartbeats/cron checks, hosted status pages, on-call scheduling, and incident management in one product. For an agency that means you aren't stitching together a monitor tool + PagerDuty + a status page tool. Generous free tier to pilot on.

UptimeRobot** - Best cost-per-monitor if your main need is just \"tell me when a client's site is down.\" The free tier covers a surprising number of monitors, and paid plans add 30-60s intervals and white-label status pages. This is what most small agencies should start with. ([efficient.app](https://efficient.app/best/uptime-monitoring))\n\n**3. StatusCake** - The best breadth-per-dollar for an agency portfolio", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
