Who is the Agency tier for?
Starter is for the curious, and Standard is for teams with a process. Agency is for the people looking after everyone else's websites. That means web agencies, and in-house teams that manage a whole portfolio rather than a single site.
If your day involves a dozen or more sites (client production sites, staging environments, campaign microsites) and you're the one expected to keep them all in good shape, this tier is built for you.
What the Agency tier actually is
Agency is built on the two ordinary tiers rather than being a separate, bigger plan invented from scratch:
- One website on the Standard tier. Your flagship, or your most important client site, with the full Standard treatment. That means the larger monthly audit, competitor benchmarking, the one-time baseline report, static-IP testing, and everything else Standard includes.
- Up to 20 more websites on Starter. Yours to assign however you like. Client sites, staging, UAT, campaign pages, whatever needs an eye kept on it.
That's up to 21 sites in total, all managed from one place, under one account.
Starter, but with benefits
The 20 Starter-level sites in an Agency package aren't quite the same as 20 standalone Starter subscriptions, and it's easy to miss why. They don't get bigger numbers. Each one sits behind an agency that's actively looking after it.
- Your clients have you in their corner. Because you support all of your clients, each client website benefits from your expertise and your watchful eye, something a lone Starter subscriber simply doesn't have. The account may be Starter-sized, but there's an agency standing behind it.
- Webhooks and IndexNow, if you want them. These are normally exclusive to Standard, but on Agency you can switch them on for any client website. Just ask support. Handy when a particular client needs automated search-engine pinging (IndexNow) or a notification the moment a test finishes (a webhook).
- Same quotas as an ordinary Starter. This isn't about extra capacity. The test quotas, audit size and limits on each client site stay exactly the same as a normal Starter website. The difference is the support around it, and those two optional features.
So each client site keeps the familiar, focused simplicity of Starter, and gains an agency looking after it.
Who should reach for it
You're probably an Agency fit if:
- You manage a portfolio of sites, not just your own.
- You want one place to see how all of them are doing, rather than logging into 20 separate accounts.
- You'd use portfolio-wide API access to fold Webperf data into your own reporting or into what you show clients.
- You have one site that genuinely needs Standard, and many more that just need a reliable, automated eye kept on them.
If instead you're looking after a single site, even a serious one with a UAT gate and a performance budget, Standard is the better home. Agency only starts to pay off once you're managing many.
One more note, on the 20 slots. Because Agency is a portfolio, they're reconciled manually at regular intervals. As you add, retire and swap client sites over time, we keep the count squared up with you rather than making you micromanage it. It's meant to flex with how agency work actually goes.
Agency is tailored to your portfolio, so getting started isn't a one-click checkout. We set it up with you. Have a look at the plans side by side to see how the three tiers compare, then get in touch and we'll get your account and your 20 slots sorted.
