Frequently Asked Questions
Is PulsX free tier as generous as UptimeRobot?
PulsX offers 5 monitors on the free tier (vs UptimeRobot's 50), but includes SSL monitoring which UptimeRobot doesn't offer at all. For most users monitoring a handful of critical services, PulsX free tier with SSL monitoring is more valuable.
Can I import my UptimeRobot monitors automatically?
Currently, you need to add monitors manually. However, the process is quick - just copy your URLs and paste them into PulsX. We're working on an import feature.
Does PulsX support all the same check types as UptimeRobot?
Yes! PulsX supports HTTP(S), ping, port monitoring, and heartbeat monitoring. We also add SSL certificate monitoring which UptimeRobot lacks.
