Everguardly vs StatusCake
The StatusCake alternative built for web agencies

- A broad free tier and long-standing reliability
- Domain and server monitoring breadth
Why agencies still pick Everguardly
StatusCake covers a lot of ground, including page speed. But its renewal tracking is shallow and it isn't organised around the agency multi-client workflow — where one calendar across every client's SSL and domain expiry saves you from the 2 a.m. outage call.
Why agencies switch
- A UI that doesn't look like 2014
- Renewal calendar across every client site
- Per-client alert routing native to the data model
- Tag + client + type filters out of the box

Frequently asked questions
- Is Everguardly a good StatusCake alternative?
- Yes. Everguardly is built specifically for web agencies that manage many client sites, with a renewal calendar for SSL and domain expiry, multi-client status pages, and per-client alert routing — areas where StatusCake is more generic. You can migrate in minutes and keep monitoring uptime, SSL, and domains in one place.
- Can I import my monitors from StatusCake?
- You can bulk-import monitors via CSV, and for some providers via API. Add your client sites in a single step, assign them to clients, and Everguardly starts checking uptime, SSL, and domain expiry automatically.
- Does Everguardly cost less than StatusCake?
- Everguardly uses simple plan-based pricing with no per-monitor charges, so monitoring many client sites stays predictable. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, and annual billing saves 20%.
- What does Everguardly monitor that StatusCake might not?
- Beyond uptime, Everguardly tracks SSL certificate expiry and domain registration expiry with a unified renewal calendar and configurable reminder schedules — so you prevent outages before they happen instead of only being alerted once a site is already down.
