StatusCake alternative
The StatusCake alternative
that costs nothing.
StatusCake Pro is $24.95 a month for 1-minute checks, SSL monitoring and status pages. PULSX gives you all three, free.
Why teams switch
from StatusCake.
1-minute checks for everyone
StatusCake gates 1-minute intervals behind Pro. PULSX checks every minute on every monitor, with retries before it alerts.
Built recently, feels like it
A fast, clean dashboard with dark mode, monitor groups and a mobile app, rather than an interface carried over from 2010.
Small team, real support
PULSX is built and run by a small team. Questions go to people who work on the product.
