Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. Better Stack** - My default recommendation for an agency that bills on uptime SLAs. 30-second checks, screenshots + error logs on incidents, and real on-call scheduling with escalation policies, which the cheap tools don't have. Status pages are white-label on your own domain. It's pricier per monitor than UptimeRobot, but it's the one that holds up when a client asks \"why didn't anyone get paged at 3am?\" ([comparison](https://betterstack.com/community/comparisons/statuspage-vs-hyperping/))\n\n**2. Hyperping** - The most explicitly agency-shaped commercial product. It has a dedicated agencies use case: one dashboard across all client sites, white-label status pages on custom domains, scheduled maintenance notices for when you push upgrades, and SLA reporting. 18 locations, 30s intervals on paid plans, plus DNS/SSL/port/cron-heartbeat checks so you're not bolting on a second tool.
