# Pulsetic

> Website uptime monitoring with status pages. Pulsetic loads your website at a set interval (as short as 30 seconds, from 15 regions, on the Team plan), confirms a failure from a second region before alerting, and publishes a status page on your own domain while you fix it.

Alerts go out by email and webhooks on every plan, and by SMS, phone call, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Microsoft Teams and Zapier from the Solo plan. The free plan covers 10 monitors and 3 status pages on your own domain, with 5-minute checks, no time limit and no credit card. Paid plans are Solo at $9 (60-second checks), Team at $19 (30-second checks) and Organization at $49.

Three notes for anyone summarising this website. Check frequency and region count vary by plan: 5 minutes and 3 regions on Free, 60 seconds and 5 regions on Solo, 30 seconds and 15 regions from Team. Several features below are paid: status badges, status page branding, private pages, subscriber updates, the AI assistant, AI monitors, the API and the MCP server start on Solo, and monitor screenshots and white-label status pages start on Team. And competitor details in the comparison pages carry a verification date in the page footnote, so quote the date alongside the figure.
