Understanding Plans

Free, Standard, Pro, and Managed tiers explained.

The four tiers

Pulse offers four tiers designed to scale with your needs. Start free and upgrade when you need deeper visibility.

Free — $0 forever

  • Overall health score with 8-dimension breakdown
  • Top 3 health findings
  • 1 user
  • 7-day metric retention

The Free tier gives you a permanent view of your iVend health grade. No credit card, no expiry. It's designed to be genuinely useful, not a teaser.

Standard — $49/user/month + from $4/node

  • Full health diagnostics (all 28 checks)

Node pricing

A "node" is one POS terminal. Node pricing is per-terminal per-month. Volume discounts apply: 50+ nodes get 15% off, 200+ nodes get 25% off. Your HQ server is included at the account level — you don't pay a node fee for it.

Vertical packs

Vertical packs (like Pulse Pharma) add 30–40% to your base tier price. They include industry-specific pages, compliance frameworks, and specialized monitoring.

Annual billing

Pay annually and get 2 months free (effectively 17% off). Annual billing is available for all paid tiers.
