Pulsetic Pricing: cheaper entry, thinner tiers
Pulsetic's paid plans start around $9/mo — genuinely cheaper than FourSight Starter at $16/mo, and this page won't hide that. The comparison is what each tier contains: Pulsetic is HTTP-focused with beautiful status pages and some usage-based add-ons; FourSight's tiers bundle 8 check types, incident management, maintenance windows, and quorum consensus (Pulsetic figures as published July 2026 — verify with the vendor).

The pricing model
How Pulsetic prices
Pulsetic's published ladder starts with a limited free plan (1 monitor), a Solo plan around $9/mo, a Team plan around $29/mo, and an Organization tier around $49/mo for larger monitor counts (as published July 2026 — verify with the vendor). Some capacity is usage-based — extra monitors, teammates, and SMS/voice alerts can bill per unit on top of the plan, so check the current add-on schedule for your exact shape.
That structure is great for its core buyer: someone who wants HTTP uptime checks and a beautiful public status page at the lowest possible entry price. Pulsetic's status-page design and badges are its genuine edge, and at $9/mo it undercuts every plan FourSight sells.
FourSight's tiers cost more at entry and carry more: Starter $16/mo includes 50 monitors, 1-minute checks, incident management with timelines, and maintenance windows; Growth $40/mo adds all 8 check types (DNS drift, domain expiry, port, keyword, heartbeat/cron), escalation policies, and multi-user orgs. SMS alerts are included in Pro rather than billed per message.

Honest take
Which pricing wins, where
Pricing pages usually pretend the writer's tool is cheaper in every scenario. Here's the fair version — where Pulsetic's pricing is genuinely the better deal, and where FourSight's is.
Where Pulsetic wins
Where Pulsetic's pricing genuinely wins:
- The cheapest paid entry in this comparison: ~$9/mo undercuts FourSight Starter by nearly half.
- Status-page-first buyers: if a beautiful public status page with badges is 80% of the job, Pulsetic prices exactly that.
- Solo makers monitoring a handful of HTTP endpoints who don't need DNS, port, or heartbeat checks.
Where FourSight wins
Where FourSight's tiers win:
- You need more than HTTP checks: DNS drift, domain expiry, port, keyword, and heartbeat/cron monitors ship in Growth.
- Structured incident management and recurring maintenance windows are requirements — Pulsetic doesn't offer them.
- Predictable team costs: multi-user orgs are included in Growth instead of per-teammate add-ons.
- SMS alerting without per-message charges (Pro).
FAQ
Pulsetic pricing questions
How much does Pulsetic cost?
As published July 2026 (verify with the vendor): a limited free plan (1 monitor), Solo around $9/mo, Team around $29/mo, and an Organization tier around $49/mo, with some usage-based add-ons for extra monitors, teammates, and SMS/voice alerts.
Is Pulsetic cheaper than FourSight?
At the entry tier, yes — Solo at ~$9/mo beats Starter at $16/mo, and we'd rather say that plainly. The gap closes once you need team seats, incident management, maintenance windows, or non-HTTP check types, which either bill as add-ons or aren't available on Pulsetic (July 2026 — verify with the vendor).
What does FourSight include at $16 that Pulsetic's $9 plan doesn't?
50 monitors with 1-minute intervals, 4-region quorum consensus, structured incident management with timelines, recurring maintenance windows, and 2 status pages. Whether that's worth the extra $7/mo depends on whether you're monitoring a portfolio site or a revenue app.
Does either tool charge per SMS?
Pulsetic bills SMS/voice alerts per message (as published July 2026 — verify with the vendor). FourSight includes SMS in the Pro plan ($80/mo) with no per-message charges; lower tiers alert via email, Slack, and HMAC-signed webhooks.
