A read-only client portal on Team (10 client contacts), Agency and Agency Plus (1,000 each): a contact sees only that client’s sites, incidents, status pages and reports, and takes no seat.MSP plan: USD 59 a month (USD 54 annually), 9 customers included, USD 9 a month for each extra customer. Its pricing page lists reports, report customization and SLA reports; it does not mention white-label (we could not confirm it). Its polling interval is stated as 1 minute in the plan table and 3 minutes in the FAQ.Site24x7 MSP pricing
Free plan and trialA 14-day trial, no card, that ends into a Free plan of one site, checked every 5 minutes.A free-forever plan for up to 50 resources with email alerts, and a 30-day trial.Site24x7 pricing
Check intervalEvery minute on the paid plans; every 30 seconds possible on Team and up (a choice per check); every 5 minutes on the Free plan; always from every enabled region.1 minute on the Web Uptime and Web Perf cards. The page also says a 30-second interval uses two licences and gives 30 and 10 seconds for Enterprise Plus Web in different places.Site24x7 pricing
How a site is called downTwo regions must agree. One region failing is a regional issue with no alert. Each alert lists what each region saw.The primary location polls at your frequency. If it reports down, there are immediate re-checks from 3 locations by default, chosen from your location profile; other locations otherwise poll every 30 minutes by default. The article’s own example is inconsistent, so check your threshold profile.Site24x7 polling logic article (no date shown)
Alert channelsEmail on every plan; Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, Google Chat, PagerDuty, Opsgenie and ntfy on every paid plan; a signed webhook from the Team plan up; push notifications to your own devices from the installable app. No SMS or phone calls. The newer channels are tested against each service’s documented formats and push against a stand-in service, not yet against the services themselves.For Web Uptime the page says only email alerts apply. Other plans were not itemised on the page we read.Site24x7 pricing
Domain and certificate expiryBoth are watched, with alerts before expiry.Domain and SSL expiry monitoring is listed on all three plans.Site24x7 pricing
What changed, and SEO signalsA what-changed timeline tied to incidents; alerts for noindex, robots.txt blocking and a canonical moved to another host.The pricing page does not list a change timeline or noindex and robots.txt alerts. We read most of the page, not all of it, so this is not proof they do not exist.Site24x7 pricing
Why it went downThe incident page shows the likely cause with its confidence and evidence, or says unknown, and drafts the note to the client in three lengths. Rules decide it, not an AI model. Every plan.Its pricing page describes RCA reports that look into the cause of a downtime incident, with DNS reports, ping, traceroute and screenshots, generated for most monitors. A drafted note for the client is not listed (read 2026-11-02).Site24x7 pricing
Risks across all clientsThe Client Risk Radar: one list across all clients of what could hurt a site next, each risk with its evidence; a check that could not be made is never an all-clear. Every plan.Not listed on the pricing page (read 2026-11-02).Site24x7 pricing
Site security and SEO integrityEach site is read from outside for new script hosts, hidden links and text, spam vocabulary, redirects away and missing security headers; after a DNS proof of control also as Googlebot, as a visitor from a search result and as four AI crawlers, and for files that should never be public. Findings are possible problems with evidence, not verdicts. Tested on test pages; not yet run on customers’ sites.Its pricing page lists website defacement monitoring. Checks for hidden links or text, or for what AI crawlers are served, are not listed there (read 2026-11-02).Site24x7 pricing
Real-user speedCore Web Vitals that real Chrome visitors measured over 28 days, from Google’s Chrome UX Report, with no script on the site; a site with too few visits says so. Every plan.Real user monitoring is listed, priced by page views (read 2026-11-02).Site24x7 pricing
Status pages1, 10, 30 or 60 per plan (Solo, Team, Agency, Agency Plus; 1 on Free). Only confirmed incidents show (two regions for page checks, the ping receiver for scheduled tasks); no data is never green. Visitors subscribe by e-mail with a double opt-in and get each confirmed incident, its resolution and the updates you post (Investigating, Identified, Monitoring, Resolved).Web Uptime 3, Web Perf 10, Enterprise Plus Web 3 (the part of the pricing page we read). Its StatusIQ help says subscribers get incidents and upcoming maintenance by email, SMS, Zoho Cliq or RSS (read 2026-10-29).Site24x7 pricing
Site24x7 help: StatusIQ subscribers
Maintenance windowsOwners, admins and members schedule a window for the organisation, a client or a site, once or every week in a time zone. Checks keep running; alerts are held back, no incident opens, and the time is left out of uptime and the monthly report. A public window shows on the status page as planned maintenance.Scheduled maintenance is listed on all three plans. Its help page: once, daily, weekly or monthly, in a time zone you choose, with daylight saving applied; monitor alerts are suppressed by default, and data collection can go on during the window (read 2026-10-29).Site24x7 pricing
Site24x7 help: scheduled maintenance
DNS recordsA and AAAA records on every check, from two public resolvers. Name servers, MX, SPF, DMARC and CAA about every 15 minutes; a change counts when two regions see it (or one region twice), and the alert lists the records added and removed.Website and DNS monitoring is listed on all three plans. Its DNS page validates answers for A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, SOA, PTR, SRV, TXT, CAA, DS and DNSKEY records against expected values, alerts when records are modified, and resolves from more than 130 locations; SPF and DMARC are not named (read 2026-10-29).Site24x7 DNS monitoring
People and historyPeople: 1, 5, 10. History: 12 or 24 months.Up to 10 role-based users on Web Uptime and 35 on Web Perf (the page also says multi-user is not available; it contradicts itself). History: 2, 3 and 5 years.Site24x7 pricing
ScopeWebsites only: page, certificate, DNS records, redirects, SEO signals, domain expiry. No servers, networks or applications; TCP port, TCP ping (not ICMP), DNS blocklist and cron heartbeat checks are built.Websites, transaction monitors, real-user monitoring (page views), servers, networks and applications.Site24x7 pricing

Where Site24x7 is better

  • Breadth: websites, servers, networks, applications and real-user monitoring in one place.
  • Multi-step transaction monitors and real-user monitoring. Beamfar has neither.
  • Longer history (2 to 5 years) and more role-based users on higher plans.
  • A free-forever plan and a 30-day trial, and an MSP edition with per-customer accounts.
  • A mature product that is on sale today. Beamfar’s paid plans open soon.

Where Beamfar is better

  • Built for the agency job: sites grouped by client, a monthly report per client, a status page per client.
  • Two-region agreement before any alert, and an evidence pack showing what each region saw.
  • A what-changed timeline and SEO-risk alerts (noindex, robots.txt, canonical) as part of the product, not a configuration project.
  • One small product with limits written down per plan, instead of licences and add-ons.
  • A drafted note for the client with each incident, next to the likely cause and its evidence. Site24x7 describes RCA reports on the cause of downtime; a note for the client is not listed on its pricing page.
  • Site security and SEO integrity checks, including what four AI crawlers are served (tried on test pages only), and real-user speed from Google’s Chrome UX Report with no script on the site.

Questions

Is Beamfar a replacement for Site24x7?

Only if your need is client websites. Site24x7 also monitors servers, networks and applications, which Beamfar does not. Beamfar is narrower and built for agencies.

How does Site24x7 decide a site is down?

Its support article says the primary location polls first, and if it reports down there are immediate re-checks from 3 locations by default. The article’s own example is inconsistent, so the exact rule depends on your threshold profile.

Can I buy Beamfar today?

No. The 14-day trial is free and needs no card; paid plans open soon, and their prices may change before then.
