Asked on 2026-10-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched. 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.

Caveat: it's a team-seat model, not true client sub-accounts, so you organize by tags/labels rather than
