"We were on PagerDuty and Better Stack simultaneously — $1,400/month combined. Switched to Pulse three months ago. $29/month, zero incidents we didn't catch first."

4 min early warning
"The 2-second interval is not a marketing number. At 1:47am last Tuesday, Pulse caught a memory leak on our auth service 4 minutes before it would have taken down checkout. That's real money."

12-min migration
"UptimeRobot changed their ToS in December to ban commercial use on free plans. We were running 47 production monitors on it. Pulse had us migrated in 12 minutes via the import API."
