Pulsetic · Coding · Business
Pulsetic is a website uptime monitoring service that checks your site around the clock and alerts you when it breaks. It works as a website monitoring tool for anyone who needs to know the moment a page stops responding. Checks can run as often as every 30 seconds, and a single failed check gets confirmed from other regions before any alert fires, so one bad route doesn't wake you at 3am. Beyond plain uptime, it adds Real User Monitoring that measures Core Web Vitals on your actual visitors, plus shareable status pages you can put on your own domain.
About Pulsetic
What Is Pulsetic
Pulsetic watches whether your website, API, or server is reachable, and tells you the moment it isn't. You point it at a URL, and it pings that address on a schedule from data centers in different regions. If a check fails, Pulsetic re-checks from other locations before it considers the site down.
Why bother? Because a single failed check isn't an outage. That extra step is the whole point. A broken route between one data center and your server never reaches your phone.
The tool is built for teams that get paged when something goes offline, from solo developers to DevOps groups and agencies managing client sites. It reaches you through email, SMS, phone calls, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, MS Teams, and webhooks. Paid plans include the alert channels that actually cut through a muted phone. That matters more than any feature list. The wrong channel is the same as no alert at all. Slack gets muted. Email sleeps.
The limits are worth knowing up front. The free plan caps you at 10 monitors, 3 status pages, and a 5-minute check interval. Faster checks, more regions, and longer log retention sit behind paid tiers, so heavy users will end up paying. And since it measures real visitors, the RUM script adds a small amount of code to your pages. Not ideal, but it's a one-line install.
Getting Started
- Sign up at pulsetic.com with an email address. No credit card is needed for the free plan.
- Add a monitor: paste the URL or host you want to watch, then pick what to check, such as HTTP status, keyword presence, or a TCP port.
- Set the check interval and regions, and choose where alerts should go, like email, SMS, or Slack.
- Build a status page if you want a public face for incidents, and add your logo and colors.
- Add the RUM script to your site to start collecting real page load times and Core Web Vitals.

Key features
Multi-Region Checks That Filter False Alarms
Pulsetic monitors from data centers in different regions, and when one check fails it confirms the failure from other locations before alerting. This means a single broken network route between one data center and your server won't page you. No 3am surprises. You also see uptime and response time per region rather than one blended global average. That makes it easier to spot whether a problem is local or real.
Alerts That Actually Wake You
Uptime monitoring is only as good as the alert that gets through. Pulsetic sends email, SMS, and voice calls, plus WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, MS Teams, and webhooks. It handles downtime alerts across all of them. So how do you make sure an alert reaches you at 3am? Calls come from a single fixed number, so you can save it as a contact and let it ring past Do-Not-Disturb. SMS, WhatsApp, and voice are included on every paid plan, not bolted on as an extra.
Status Pages on Your Own Domain
When something breaks, questions arrive faster than the fix. Pulsetic gives you status pages with your logo and colors on your own domain, so you can point people at one page instead of answering everyone one by one. Customers can subscribe once and get email updates as an incident opens, changes, and resolves. Nobody has to ask. Paid plans add password protection, SSO, and a whitelabeled page.
Real User Monitoring for Core Web Vitals
Add one async script and Pulsetic measures how your site actually performs for visitors. It records LCP, CLS, INP, and FCP on real devices, along with DNS, connection, and total load time on every pageview. You can slice the numbers by page, country, browser, and device, which is how you find out a site is only slow on mobile in one region. Lab tests won't tell you that. The free plan includes 1,000 page views a month.
Error and Dependency Tracking
RUM records the uncaught JavaScript exceptions and failed fetch or XHR requests your visitors hit, including the stack trace and the pages affected. Fix what's actually breaking, not only what you can reproduce. Separately, dependency monitoring watches more than 4,300 services such as Stripe and GitHub and emails you when one opens or updates an incident. Together they answer two questions. What's breaking on your site, and what's breaking upstream of it.
API and AI Assistant Access
Pulsetic offers an API and an MCP server for connecting its monitoring data to other tools, along with an AI assistant that can answer what's down in plain language. On higher plans the assistant can even create monitors or open an incident once you confirm. Automation through Zapier, Twilio, and webhooks is supported too.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Multi-region confirmation cuts the false alerts that make people mute their monitoring.
- SMS, WhatsApp, and voice alerts are included on paid plans, and calls bypass Do-Not-Disturb.
- Real User Monitoring covers Core Web Vitals and JS errors on actual visitors, not lab tests.
- Status pages work on your own domain, and paid plans allow unlimited pages.
- The free tier is genuinely usable with 10 monitors and 3 status pages.
Cons
- The free plan's 5-minute check interval is slower than the 30-second checks on paid tiers, so fast blips can go unseen.
- Real User Monitoring needs a script added to your site and caps free usage at 1,000 page views a month.
- API access sits on the top Organization plan, so developers on cheaper tiers have to upgrade to automate.
