General

What is PULSX?+
PULSX is a free uptime monitoring service that checks your websites and APIs at regular intervals. We alert you when your services go down and track response times with detailed analytics.
Is PULSX really free?+
Yes. There are no paid plans, no trial and no credit card. Every feature is included: 60-second checks, status pages, incident management, on-call, audit log and the API. Hosting costs very little, so it is free for everyone.
What are the limits?+
Fair-use caps only: 50 monitors, 25 members and 50 notification channels per team. Contact us if you need more and we will raise your cap.
How do I sign up?+
Sign in with Google or create an account with email/password on our homepage. Your account is created instantly.

Monitoring & Features

What types of checks do you perform?+
We perform HTTP/HTTPS checks on your URLs, measuring response time and status codes. You can customize expected status codes and set up alerts for any issues.
How often are my sites checked?+
As often as every 60 seconds. You can customize the check interval per monitor.
How do I get notified of downtime?+
We support Email, Slack, Discord, webhook, and mobile push notifications. You can configure multiple channels per monitor.
Can I monitor APIs and not just websites?+
Yes - any URL that responds to HTTP/HTTPS requests can be monitored, including REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and more.

Account

Will it stay free?+
That is the plan. If anything ever changes you will hear about it well in advance, and nothing you have set up will be taken away without notice.
Can I delete my account?+
Yes. Delete your account from Settings at any time and all of your monitors and data are removed.

Technical

How do you avoid false positives?+
Every failed check is automatically retried before an alert fires, so transient network blips never trigger false alarms.
Is my data secure?+
Yes - we use industry-standard encryption for data in transit and at rest. We store minimal information and never share your data with third parties.
Do you have an API?+
Yes - we offer a REST API for programmatic access to your monitors, incidents, and heartbeat data.
