Pulsetic pricing and cost: every plan, add-on rate and break-even
Pulsetic publishes both a plan price and a per-unit price for every meter, so the whole model can be worked out rather than guessed. Put your real numbers in and the calculator prices all four tiers at once and names the cheapest.
Pulsetic plan cost calculator
LivePlan and add-on rates read from pulsetic.com/pricing in September 2026, USD list. Add-ons are not available on the Free tier, so Free appears here only when your numbers fit inside it exactly. One assumption is flagged: the vendor prints add-on rates as per month and does not say whether the annual discount applies to them, so the annual setting discounts the plan base only. Confirm that line with them before budgeting on it.
How much does Pulsetic cost?
Pulsetic costs $0, $9, $19 or $49 a month for its Free, Solo, Team and Organization plans, and annual billing is exactly ten months for twelve on all three paid tiers, a 16.67 percent saving with no rounding. What makes Pulsetic unusual is that it publishes a per-unit price for every meter as well as the plan price: $0.20 a monitor, $8 a teammate, $2 a notify-only seat, $0.10 an SMS or call and $0.01 a status page subscriber, each month. Because both numbers are public, the plan economics are fully computable, and the arithmetic says something the price list does not: on monthly billing the Team plan is exactly $2 more expensive than Solo at every single monitor count, because its $10 base premium buys 40 monitors that cost $8 at Pulsetic own add-on rate. Team is a seat purchase, not a monitor purchase. It becomes the cheaper plan the moment you need two teammates.
Every figure on this page was read on 2 September 2026 from pulsetic.com/pricing in US dollars. The feature matrix was parsed by CSS class name rather than by column position, because each cell in the vendor grid labels its own plan, and the rows that render as blank were checked for icon nodes rather than assumed empty. The add-on rates appear three separate times in that document, in the add-on block, in the summary strip and in a tooltip attached to every allowance in the matrix, which is why they are solid enough to build arithmetic on.
One thing this vendor does not do, which several of its rivals do, is change the price by country. There is no currency switcher, no region-to-currency map and no euro or pound symbol anywhere in the document. That is worth knowing because Uptrends, UptimeRobot and Site24x7 all serve different figures to different countries, so a Pulsetic price quoted in a European review is the same price a US buyer pays.
The short version
- Plans: Free $0, Solo $9, Team $19, Organization $49 a month.
- Annual: ten months for twelve, exactly. 16.67 percent.
- Extra monitors: $0.20 each, on any paid plan.
- The catch: Team costs $2 a month more than Solo at every monitor count.
- The flip: at 2 teammates, Team becomes the cheaper plan.
- Move to Organization at: 210 monitors.
Every Pulsetic plan and what it includes
Four tiers, one of them permanently free. The allowances marked with a plus sign are starting points: on the three paid plans you can buy past them at the published per-unit rate. On the Free plan you cannot, which makes its 10 monitors a genuine ceiling.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Annual per month | Monitors | Teammates | SMS or calls | Subscribers |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | $0.00 | 10 | None | None | None |
| Solo | $9 | $90 | $7.50 | 10+ | None | 30 | 1,000 |
| Teamwas $39 | $19 | $190 | $15.83 | 50+ | 2 | 100 | 5,000 |
| Organizationwas $69 | $49 | $490 | $40.83 | 300+ | 3 | 200 | 10,000 |
Annual is exactly two months free
Every yearly price is precisely ten times the monthly one. $9 becomes $90, $19 becomes $190, $49 becomes $490. That is 16.667 percent with no rounding anywhere, and the toggle label "Save 2 months" is literally accurate. In a market where annual discounts are routinely a percent or two smaller than advertised, this one is not.
Two tiers carry a struck-through price
Team shows $19 against a struck-through $39 and Organization $49 against $69, so the standing discounts are 51.3 percent and 29.0 percent. Solo has no struck-through price at all. The middle tier is being discounted almost twice as hard as the top one, which usually means the middle tier is the one they want you on.
The free tier cannot buy its way out
Free is the only plan with add-ons switched off, confirmed both by the "Buy Additional Services" row and by the absence of any add-on tooltip on a free cell. So the ceiling is 10 monitors, 5 minute checks and 3 regions, with no SMS, no Slack and no status badges. It is a real free tier, not a trial, but it does not stretch.
The Pulsetic add-on rate card, verified September 2026
This is the table that makes the rest of the page possible. Most monitoring vendors publish a plan price and stop, which leaves you unable to tell whether the next tier is good value. Pulsetic publishes a per-unit price for every meter it sells, so the plans can be checked against their own components.
| Add-on | Rate | Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extra monitor | $0.20 | per monitor | Any monitor, heartbeat or domain. One pool, not five. |
| Extra teammate | $8.00 | per user | A full dashboard login. Solo includes none at all. |
| Extra notify-only seat | $2.00 | per seat | Receives alerts, cannot open the dashboard. A quarter the price of a teammate. |
| Extra SMS or phone call | $0.10 | per alert | Pooled monthly allowance, not per monitor. |
| Extra status page subscriber | $0.01 | per subscriber | The meter Atlassian Statuspage builds its entire price list on. |
| Extra RUM page views | $5.00 | per 100,000 page views | Real user monitoring, sold separately from uptime checks. |
The gap between a teammate at $8 and a notify-only seat at $2 is the most useful line here for anyone with an on-call rota. A notify-only seat receives every alert but cannot open the dashboard, and for most people on a rota that is the whole job. Four notify seats cost the same as one teammate.
Measured in monitors, Team costs $2 more than Solo at every single count
Because both the plan prices and the per-monitor rate are published, the two paid tiers can be written as straight lines. Solo costs $9 and includes 10 monitors, so at any count N its price is 9 + 0.20(N - 10), which simplifies to 7 + 0.20N. Team costs $19 and includes 50, so its price is 19 + 0.20(N - 50), which simplifies to 9 + 0.20N.
The two lines have the same slope and differ by a constant $2 on monthly billing. That is not a coincidence and it is not an edge case at some awkward monitor count: Team is $2 a month more expensive than Solo at 10 monitors, at 50, at 200 and at 5,000. The reason is arithmetic rather than strategy. Team charges $10 more at the base and hands back 40 extra monitors, and 40 monitors at Pulsetic own published rate of $0.20 are worth $8.
So the honest way to describe the Team plan is that it is not a monitor upgrade at all. The $2 buys 30 second checks instead of 60, 15 monitoring regions instead of 5, monitor screenshots, white-labeled status pages, role-based access control and API, MCP and n8n access. That is a reasonable list for $2. It is just worth knowing you are buying features rather than capacity, because the plan card presents 50 monitors as the headline.
Organization runs the other way and is the better bargain of the two upgrades. It charges $30 more than Team at the base and includes 250 extra monitors, which are worth $50 at the same rate. That is the only step on this price list where the included capacity is worth more than the money you hand over for it.
Base premium against capacity value
| Solo to Team, extra base | $10.00 |
| 40 extra monitors at $0.20 | $8.00 |
| You overpay | $2.00 |
| Team to Organization, extra base | $30.00 |
| 250 extra monitors at $0.20 | $50.00 |
| You save | $20.00 |
Both rows use Pulsetic own published add-on rate, so this is their price list checked against itself rather than against ours.
What Pulsetic costs at every monitor count, and where the plans cross
Base price plus $0.20 for every monitor past the included allowance, monthly billing. The cheapest column is marked on each row. Solo holds the lead all the way to 210 monitors, at which point Organization takes over and never gives it back.
| Monitors | Solo | Team | Organization | Cheapest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | $9.00 | $19.00 | $49.00 | Solo |
| 25 | $12.00 | $19.00 | $49.00 | Solo |
| 50 | $17.00 | $19.00 | $49.00 | Solo |
| 100 | $27.00 | $29.00 | $49.00 | Solo |
| 150 | $37.00 | $39.00 | $49.00 | Solo |
| 200 | $47.00 | $49.00 | $49.00 | Solo |
| 210 | $49.00 | $51.00 | $49.00 | Solo |
| 250 | $57.00 | $59.00 | $49.00 | Organization |
| 300 | $67.00 | $69.00 | $49.00 | Organization |
| 500 | $107.00 | $109.00 | $89.00 | Organization |
| 1,000 | $207.00 | $209.00 | $189.00 | Organization |
Team never wins a single row
On monitors alone the Team column is never the cheapest at any count in this table, or at any count outside it. Solo undercuts it by $2 below 210 monitors and Organization undercuts it above 200. If monitors are the only reason you are considering the upgrade, skip the middle tier.
210 is the number to remember
Solo plus add-ons costs 7 + 0.20N, and that reaches $49 at exactly 210 monitors, which is the flat Organization price. Below 210 stay on Solo and buy monitors. At 210 or above, move to Organization, where the first 300 are included.
Teammates flip the whole thing
Solo includes no dashboard logins, so each one is $8. At one teammate Solo is still ahead ($17 against $19). At two, Team wins outright, $19 against $25, and the gap widens from there. Team is a seat purchase wearing a monitor label.
What each plan allowance would cost bought a la carte
Every included allowance priced at Pulsetic own add-on rates. Read this as an upper bound on value rather than money you save: it is what assembling the same allowance would cost if you actually wanted all of it, and most buyers want two or three of these meters, not six.
| Plan | Price | Monitors | Teammates | Notify seats | SMS | Subscribers | RUM | Total a la carte |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solo | $9.00 | $2.00 | $0.00 | $2.00 | $3.00 | $10.00 | $0.50 | $17.50 |
| Team | $19.00 | $10.00 | $16.00 | $6.00 | $10.00 | $50.00 | $5.00 | $97.00 |
| Organization | $49.00 | $60.00 | $24.00 | $10.00 | $20.00 | $100.00 | $10.00 | $224.00 |
The column doing the heavy lifting is status page subscribers, at $0.01 each. Solo includes 1,000 of them, worth $10 against a $9 plan price, so the subscriber allowance alone is worth more than the entire Solo subscription. That is worth holding next to Atlassian Statuspage, where subscribers are not a line item on the bill, they are the whole meter, and the entry paid tier is $29 a month. If a public status page with a real subscriber list is the reason you are shopping, this is the cheapest published way to get one.
What each Pulsetic plan gates
Parsed from the vendor comparison grid by the plan class on each cell. Note the first block: every check type Pulsetic sells is available on every plan including the free one, which is not how most of this market works.
| Feature | Free | Solo | Team | Organization |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monitors, heartbeats and domains | 10 | 10+ | 50+ | 300+ |
| Check interval | 5 min | 60 sec | 30 sec | 30 sec |
| Region checks | 3 | 5 | 15 | 15 |
| SSL, port, TCP and ICMP checks | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Keyword monitoring | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Cron job monitoring | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| History and log retention | 3 months | 1 year | 1 year | 5 years |
| Monitor screenshots | No | No | Yes | Yes |

If you are working from a comparison written before 2026, check the check types. Pulsetic now ships dedicated cron job monitoring, API monitoring, keyword monitoring, domain expiry, TCP port and ICMP ping as separate products, and older write-ups (including an earlier version of our own Pulsetic comparison) describe it as an HTTP and SSL tool. That is no longer accurate.
Pulsetic against the tools it is usually compared with
All four figures below were read from vendor pricing pages within the last two weeks, in USD. We sell one of these, so read the Uptimehub row knowing that, and read the rest knowing we have published the arithmetic for each of them separately.
| Tool | Entry paid price | Billing model | Cost of extra people | Branded status page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pulsetic | $9/mo | Tiers plus per-unit add-ons | $8 per teammate, $2 per notify seat | White label from $19 Team |
| Cronitor | $2/mo per monitor | Pure usage, no base fee | $5 per dashboard user | $25/mo per page |
| Atlassian Statuspage | $29/mo | Tiers metered on subscribers | Not the meter | Included, no monitoring at all |
| Uptimehub | $9/mo annual, $12 monthly | Flat tiers, per monitor | Nothing, logins are unlimited | Included on every plan |
Where Pulsetic genuinely wins
On raw monitor capacity for one person, it is hard to beat and it beats us. One hundred monitors on Solo plus add-ons is $27 a month against our $39 monthly Pro plan. Four hundred monitors is $67 on Organization plus add-ons against our $99. If a single operator is watching a large estate and nobody else needs a login, Pulsetic is the cheaper tool and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. It also checks from 15 regions on Team and above, against our six.
Where the model turns against you
People. Pulsetic meters dashboard logins at $8 each and Solo includes none, so the bill moves every time someone joins. At 100 monitors the cheapest Pulsetic configuration is $27 with nobody else, $29 with one or two teammates, $37 with three and $45 with four. Our Pro plan is $29 a month billed annually with unlimited logins, so it lands level at two teammates and pulls ahead from three. If your monitoring is a team activity, compare the seat line rather than the sticker.
The gap widens sharply against a usage-priced rival. Fifty monitors with a branded status page and three people costs $19 a month on Pulsetic Team, which covers all of it. The same shopping list on Cronitor is 50 monitors at $2 plus 3 users at $5 plus $25 for branding the status page, which is $140. Both were read from vendor pages within a day of each other. The lesson is not that one company is greedy, it is that a per-unit model and a bundled model diverge fast, and which one suits you depends entirely on your shape.
Pulsetic pricing questions people actually ask
How much does Pulsetic cost?
Pulsetic costs $9 a month for Solo, $19 for Team and $49 for Organization, with a permanently free tier at $0. Billed annually those become $90, $190 and $490 a year, which is ten months for twelve. On top of the plan you can buy capacity a la carte at $0.20 a monitor, $8 a teammate, $2 a notify-only seat, $0.10 an SMS or call and $0.01 a status page subscriber.
Does Pulsetic have a free plan?
Yes, and it is a permanent free tier rather than a trial. It covers 10 monitors at 5 minute checks from 3 regions, with 3 status pages, a custom domain and 3 months of history. The limits are hard: the free plan is the one tier that cannot buy add-ons, so 10 monitors is genuinely the ceiling. It also has no SMS or call alerts, no Slack or Discord integrations and no status badges.
How many monitors do you get with Pulsetic?
Ten on Free and Solo, 50 on Team and 300 on Organization, and on all three paid plans that number is a starting point rather than a cap. Extra monitors are $0.20 each a month and can be added or removed at any time. Pulsetic counts uptime monitors, cron heartbeats and domain monitors in the same pool, so a domain expiry check costs the same as a website check.
Is the Pulsetic Team plan worth it?
It depends entirely on people, not monitors. Measured in monitors alone the Team plan is $2 a month more expensive than Solo at every count on monthly billing, because its $10 base premium buys 40 monitors that are worth $8 at the published $0.20 add-on rate. What flips it is seats: Team includes 2 teammates worth $16, so at two or more teammates Team is cheaper than Solo plus paid seats.
Does Pulsetic charge per user?
Yes, once you pass the included allowance. A full dashboard teammate is $8 a month and the Solo plan includes none, so a second person on Solo takes the bill from $9 to $17. Notify-only seats, which receive alerts but cannot open the dashboard, are $2 a month, and Solo includes one. That distinction is worth using, because most people who want alerts do not need a dashboard.
Is Pulsetic annual billing worth it?
It saves 16.67 percent, and unusually the label is exactly right. Every annual price is precisely ten times the monthly price, so twelve months cost ten: $90 rather than $108 on Solo, $190 rather than $228 on Team, $490 rather than $588 on Organization. The toggle says "Save 2 months" and that is literally what happens, with no rounding in any direction.
What is the difference between Pulsetic Solo and Team?
Four things worth paying for and one that is not. Team adds 30 second checks (Solo is 60 second), 15 monitoring regions rather than 5, monitor screenshots, white-labeled status pages, role-based access and API access. It also includes 2 teammates and 3 notify seats. The part that is not a real gain is monitors: 40 extra monitors for a $10 base increase is worse than buying them at $0.20.
At how many monitors should I move up a Pulsetic plan?
Two hundred and ten, and you should skip Team entirely if monitors are the only reason you are upgrading. Solo plus add-on monitors costs $7 plus $0.20 per monitor, so it reaches $49 at exactly 210 monitors, which is where Organization becomes cheaper. Team costs $2 more than Solo at every point below that, so it is never the cheapest plan for monitor capacity at any count.
Is Pulsetic cheaper than UptimeRobot?
At the entry level yes, and by a meaningful margin. Pulsetic Solo is $9 a month against UptimeRobot at $12 for its lowest paid US tier, and Pulsetic sells extra monitors individually at $0.20 while UptimeRobot moves you between fixed bundles. UptimeRobot free tier is the more generous of the two, though, at 50 monitors against Pulsetic 10.
Does Pulsetic do cron job and API monitoring?
Yes to both, and this is a change worth noting if you are working from an older comparison. Pulsetic ships dedicated cron job monitoring, API monitoring, keyword monitoring, domain expiry, TCP port, ICMP ping and SSL checks, all of them available from the free tier upward, and all drawing on the same monitor pool. Real user monitoring was added as a separate metered product.
The bill should not move when someone joins the team
Uptimehub is priced per monitor and never per seat, so dashboard logins, client viewers and the whole on-call rota cost nothing. Every check type and a branded status page sit in every plan. If one person is watching a large estate and nobody else needs access, this page has already told you Pulsetic is cheaper.
More monitoring price lists, taken apart the same way
Uptrends pricing
The credit model decoded: a credit costs exactly $7 a year on Core and $10 on Pro, and upgrading re-prices every credit you already own.
StatusCake pricing
Five separate monitor pools, and a ladder where the cost per uptime monitor goes up 8.9 percent when you move to the bigger plan.
Cronitor pricing
$2 a monitor plus $5 a user, and a status page trap: the paid plan includes exactly one, the same as free.
UptimeRobot pricing
$12, $39 and $79 in the US, and a European list in euros that is not a conversion of it.
