## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-01 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched. 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.
> 
> **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. ([comparison roundup](https://uptimerobot.com/knowledge-hub/monitoring/11-best-uptime-monitoring-tools-compared/))
> 
> **2. 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.

> 
> **3. StatusCake** - The best breadth-per-dollar for an agency portfolio
