Better Stack** - My default recommendation for an agency. Status pages are the best-looking in the category (your logo, `status.clientsite.com` custom domains), the alerting/on-call rotation is built in rather than bolted on, and 3-minute incident screenshots save you the \"it works for me\" argument with clients. ~$21/mo per 50 monitors, so ~$60-80/mo covers 25-30 clients at 3-5 monitors each. Downside: monitors and status pages are billed as separate add-ons, so read the final cart total carefully. [betterstack.com](https://betterstack.com/community/comparisons/better-stack-vs-hyperping/)\n\n**2. Oh Dear** - The best value if you want one bill and no feature paywalls. €10/mo for 5 sites, and every plan includes *everything*: uptime, SSL expiry, DNS, broken-link crawling, cron/scheduled-task monitoring, Lighthouse scores, and unlimited status pages. It's priced per site rather than per monitor, which matches how agencies actually bill. Especially good for Laravel and WordPress shops.
