## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> A note on the research: searches for this phrase are heavily polluted with affiliate/SEO pages and a few tools that exist mainly as listing-site entries. I've leaned on products with verifiable pricing pages and real track records, and flagged the thin ones separately.
> 
> ## What I'd actually recommend
> 
> **1. UptimeRobot** - the default for most agencies. 50 free monitors, paid from ~$29/mo for 100 monitors, with status pages on custom domains and team seats. Nothing is cheaper per client site at the 50-200 site range, and the alerting is boring in the good way. Weakness: the UI gets unwieldy past ~100 monitors and the reporting is plain. ([pricing/comparisons](https://uptimerobot.com/knowledge-hub/comparisons-and-alternatives/15-better-stack-alternatives/))
> 
> **2. Oh Dear** - the best fit if your clients are WordPress/Laravel/custom builds and you want one tool instead of four. Flat per-site pricing ($27/mo for 10 sites, $77/mo for 50, $146/mo for 100) and *every* plan includes all check types: uptime, SSL expiry, broken links, mixed content, DNS, domain expiry, scheduled-task/cron monitoring, unlimited users. Broken-link and cert-expiry checks are what actually generate client-facing
