## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-03 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched - here's what I'd actually recommend, in order.
> 
> ## My picks
> 
> **1. Better Stack** (formerly Better Uptime) - my default recommendation for most agencies. You get uptime checks, white-label status pages on your own domain, on-call scheduling/escalation, and incident management in one product, plus log management if you want it. The combination matters for agencies because the thing clients actually judge you on isn't the check - it's how fast and how professionally you communicate during an outage. Screenshot-on-error and call/SMS escalation are the features that pay for themselves.
> 
> **2. UptimeRobot** - best value when monitor *count* is the constraint. The free tier covers 50 monitors, which is genuinely unmatched, and paid plans are cheap per monitor with 30-second intervals and branded status pages. If your need is "tell me when any of 80 client sites goes down" and nothing more, start here and don't overthink it.
> 
> **3. StatusCake** - the most agency-shaped of the established tools. Beyond uptime it monitors page speed, SSL certificate expiry, and domain expiry - and those last two prevent the two most embarrassing agency incidents, a client site throwing a cert warning
