What’s new in PulseGuard.
September 2026
Smarter checks: keywords, APIs, ports, cron jobs and maintenance windows
- Keyword and status-code rules: catch the page that answers 200 but shows an error.
- API checks: choose the method, send your own headers and a body.
- Port, ping and heartbeat monitors. A heartbeat tells you when a cron job or backup did not run.
- Slow-response alerts, an alert delay for sites that blip, and repeat alerts while a site stays down.
- Maintenance windows, one-off or repeating: no alerts, no lost uptime, and the status page says so.
- Domain registration expiry alerts on every plan, 30 days ahead.
- Agency: an outage is confirmed from several locations before anyone is alerted.
September 2026
SMS alerts, 30-second checks and client packs
- SMS alerts on paid plans at 8p a text, with a monthly cap you control.
- 30-second checks on Agency.
- Client packs: more client teams, monitors and status pages for growing agencies.
September 2026
The Agency plan
- Client teams: one team per client on a single Agency subscription, sharing its monitors.
- White-label status pages: your client’s own domain, and no PulseGuard footer.
- A PDF uptime report for each team on the 1st of the month, sent to you and your client.
September 2026
Status pages, and a much faster checker
- Public status pages on Pro: pick the monitors, share one link with your clients.
- A failure is now double-checked a few seconds later before it counts, so blips no longer alert.
- Checks are spread evenly across each minute and time out after 5 seconds.
September 2026
Plans, Slack alerts and a 14-day Pro trial
- Free, Pro and (soon) Agency plans, billed per team, monthly or yearly.
- Every new account starts with 14 days of Pro. No card needed.
- Slack joins Discord, Telegram and email as an alert channel.
- Downgrades never delete anything: extra monitors are paused until you upgrade again.
September 2026
Teams
- Monitors, incidents and alert channels now belong to a team.
- Add existing accounts by email, or invite new people with a 7-day link.
- Owner and member roles.
September 2026
First release
