## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-09 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched. One thing worth saying up front: this query is heavily SEO-farmed. A lot of what surfaced ("Uptimeify," "SiteLetter," `uptime.scale.sc`, a `*.duckdns.org` host, and a pile of "best X 2026" listicles on vendor blogs) is content marketing for products with little or no independent track record. I'd ignore those. Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:
> 
> **1. UptimeRobot** - my default suggestion for most agencies. Cheapest way to get real scale: 50 monitors even on free, and the Team plan (~$46/mo, ~$39 annual) gets you up to 100 status pages with custom domains, white-labeling, and password protection - which is the actual agency requirement. Pricing is per-monitor-ish, not per-seat, so account managers don't cost you money. ([pricing breakdown](https://notifier.so/guides/uptimerobot-pricing-2026/), [vendor](https://uptimerobot.com))
> 
> **2. Better Stack (Better Uptime)** - pick this if alerting quality matters more than price. Best-in-class on-call: phone calls, escalation policies, rotations, plus very good status pages. Priced on data volume rather than monitor count or seats, and it extends into logs/metrics if you also manage hosting. Generous free tier to trial. (
