Hyperping** - My default pick for agencies. Flat-rate pricing from ~$24/mo with **no per-user fees**, and fully-branded status pages on your own custom domain are included on *every* plan rather than sold as an add-on. For an agency, where you're adding seats as the team grows and spinning up a status page per client, that pricing shape matters more than any feature checkbox. Also includes Playwright browser checks and on-call rotations. ([hyperping.com](https://hyperping.com/blog/best-website-monitoring-tools))\n\n**2. Uptime Kuma** (self-hosted, open source) - The honest answer if you manage 50+ client sites. Unlimited monitors, zero recurring cost, runs in a Docker container for a few dollars a month of VPS. The tradeoff is real: you're monitoring from one location, and you own the uptime of your uptime monitor. Many agencies run it *alongside* a paid service rather than instead of one. ([notifier.so](https://notifier.so/guides/uptime-kuma-vs-uptimerobot/))\n\n**3. Better Stack** - The most polished product of the group, and the best status pages in the category. Worth it if you want monitoring, logs, incident management and on-call in ", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
