## Buying-time FAQ
- Q: Is Site24x7 cheaper than SiteGuardian?
  A: For one storefront with one location, Site24x7 Lite is around $9/mo billed annually — under SiteGuardian Starter at $19/mo. The per-agent annual climb starts as soon as you stack multi-location probes: that is what tends to push real bills past $50/mo.
- Q: Does Site24x7 have a free tier?
  A: No permanent free tier. Site24x7 runs a 30-day trial across all paid tiers, then switches to per-agent annual billing. SiteGuardian is paid from day one — Starter is $19/mo, Pro is $39/mo, Lifetime is $299 once.
- Q: Is Site24x7 just an uptime monitor?
  A: No. Site24x7 is a sprawling multi-cloud observability platform: websites, servers, applications, networks, APM, plus a status-page add-on (StatusIQ) on paid tiers. URL monitoring is the smallest unit in a much broader product.
- Q: Does SiteGuardian monitor servers or networks?
  A: No. SiteGuardian intentionally ships the four URL-side checks only: uptime, SSL expiry, broken-link crawler, form/checkout watch. Servers, networks, and APM are Site24x7 territory — pick Site24x7 if that is what you actually need.
- Q: Why does the price-per-check model add up fast on Site24x7?
  A: Site24x7 bills per agent per year. Each extra location is another agent. A 1-shop storefront with primary + checkout + admin + CDN edge probes is easily 4 agents on Site24x7 — Lite at ~$9/mo per agent lands at ~$36/mo before discounts.
- Q: Which is the right fit for a 1-shop store?
  A: SiteGuardian. Pick Site24x7 when the shop is an IT/DevOps estate with servers and APM needs in addition to URLs; the per-agent annual licensing fits IT buying patterns more than 1-founder storefronts.
