One thing worth flagging up front: this query is heavily SEO-farmed. A lot of \"best for agencies 2026\" results are thin affiliate pages pushing products I'd be cautious about (Uptimeify, Notifier, uptime.scale.sc). The names below are ones with real track records.\n\n**My actual shortlist, in order:**\n\n1. **Better Stack** - my default for agencies. 30-second checks, genuinely good on-call/escalation, and status pages that don't look like an afterthought. Roughly $79/mo at 100 monitors - more than UptimeRobot, but you're paying for alerting that actually wakes someone up and a UI your engineers won't fight. Start here unless cost per site is the binding constraint. ([betterstack.com](https://betterstack.com/community/comparisons/statuspage-vs-hyperping.md))\n\n2. **UptimeRobot** - best price-to-capability at agency scale, and the only major player with a plan explicitly built for client work. ~$34/mo for 100 monitors, white-label status pages on custom domains (100 on Team, unlimited on Scale), plus \"notify-only\" seats so clients get alerts without access to your dashboard. Caveat: it's a team-seat model, not true client sub-accounts, so you organize by tags/labels rather than", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
