Uptime monitors for agencies that send client reports
Last reviewed 9 November 2026
If you look after client websites, the monitor is only half the job: the other half is showing each client what happened each month. Here is how six tools compare on that, with every competitor figure taken from their own pricing pages on 9 November 2026. We make SteadySite, so read our row with that in mind, and check the linked pages before you buy.
The short answer
- Cheapest way to branded PDF reports: UptimePoint (client PDF reports with your logo from $4.99/month) or up4 (reports with your logo on every plan, usage-based from €3/month).
- Flat price, unlimited clients, SSL and domain expiry in the report: SteadySite Agency at $19/month, but it is new, alerts are email-only and paid plans are not open yet.
- Best alerting and multi-region confirmation: Repose (three-region consensus, on-call), with client workspaces and branded reports on its $99 Agency plan.
- Clients need proof the page looked right, not just that it was up: Visual Sentinel (screenshot comparison), the most expensive here.
- Lots of simple monitors and status pages for little money: UptimeRobot, but its pricing page lists monthly email reports to you, not branded reports per client.

Where each one is stronger than SteadySite
- Repose: a larger free plan (25 monitors, 3-minute checks); a page only goes out when probes in three regions agree; on-call rotations; Slack, Teams and webhook alerts; unlimited team members on paid plans; and a 13- to 24-month data history.

- UptimePoint: branded PDF reports for less ($4.99); many more check types (ping, ports, keywords, Core Web Vitals, security headers, broken links, cron jobs); report schedules from daily to quarterly; and more alert channels.
- UptimeRobot: the biggest free plan (50 monitors); many monitor types; SMS and voice alerts; a mobile app; checks from several locations; SOC 2; and a long track record.
What SteadySite does differently
- One flat price, unlimited clients. Agency is $19/month for 200 monitors, with a branded report and status page for every client.
- Expiry sits next to uptime in the client report. SSL certificate and domain registration dates are part of every monthly report, so renewals come up before they become outages. See the sample report.
- Confirmed downtime only. A failed check is re-checked before it counts, so the report doesn’t show blips as outages.
What SteadySite doesn’t do (yet)
- Alerts are email only: no SMS, Slack or webhooks.
- Checks run from one region (re-checked before alerting), not from several.
- HTTP(S) and keyword checks only: no ping, port, DNS, heartbeat or screenshot checks.
- One login per account, and no public API for managing monitors.
- New: launched October 2026. Paid plans are listed but not open yet, so every account starts on the free plan.
How to choose
Count the clients who expect a report, decide whether they need a PDF, a link or both, and whether your brand must replace the vendor’s. Then check how each plan’s price grows with that client count. If your alerting needs SMS, on-call or multi-region checks, that decides it before reporting does.
