Frequently asked questions

• What is StatusGator best at?

  Breadth. StatusGator follows more than 10,000 services, lets you narrow each one to the components and regions you use, and sends alerts to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Discord, Webex and webhooks on every plan. Its Early Warning Signals can flag an outage from user reports before the provider posts about it. Pulsetic covers fewer services and alerts by email, but costs far less and includes uptime monitoring and status pages.

• How much does StatusGator cost?

  StatusGator has a free plan with 3 monitors and 10 notifications a month. Paid plans are Starter at $79 a month for 25 monitors, Team at $149 for 75 and Corporate at $299 for 150, a little less billed annually, with a 14-day trial. Pulsetic includes 1 dependency monitor on Free, 3 on Solo ($9), 10 on Team ($19) and 30 on Organization ($49), and extra ones cost $0.20 each on any paid plan.

• How many services can each tool monitor?

  StatusGator lists 10,640+ services, including some without a status page of their own. Pulsetic covers 4,400+ services, and the full list is public in the Pulsetic status directory at pulsetic.com/status, so you can check that every provider you rely on is there before you switch.

• Can Pulsetic send dependency alerts to Slack or Microsoft Teams?

  Not today. Pulsetic sends dependency alerts by email when a provider opens, updates or resolves an incident. For each dependency you can choose all incidents, including maintenance, or only major and critical ones, and send the alerts to any email address, such as a shared team inbox. The uptime monitors for your own website alert through Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, SMS and phone calls on paid plans.

• Does Pulsetic warn about an outage before the provider reports it?

  No. Pulsetic alerts you when the provider opens, updates or resolves an incident on its status page. StatusGator's Early Warning Signals look at user reports and traffic patterns to flag problems before the official post, so if early detection matters most to you, StatusGator is stronger here.

• Can I show third-party services on my own status page?

  Yes, with either tool. On Pulsetic every plan, Free included, can add dependencies to a status page on your own domain, where each one shows a 90-day incident timeline, and removing Pulsetic branding starts on Team at $19. StatusGator includes a public status page on every plan, adds a custom domain from Starter and removes its branding from Corporate at $299 a month.

• Is Pulsetic a drop-in replacement for StatusGator?

  Not for every team. Stay with StatusGator if you need component or region filters, alerts routed to Slack, SMS or PagerDuty, early warnings from user reports, or services outside Pulsetic's 4,400+. Pulsetic suits teams that want an email when the providers they rely on have incidents, next to uptime monitoring and status pages, for much less.

• When should I switch from StatusGator to Pulsetic?

  When the price no longer matches how you use it: you follow a few dozen providers, email alerts are enough, and $79 a month or more feels like a lot for that. On Pulsetic, 25 dependency monitors cost $13.40 a month on the Solo plan, and you also get uptime monitoring for your own website and status pages. You can start on the free plan with one dependency monitor.
