Simple & Affordable Pricing

The Pulse pricing scheme is simple and straightforward, just as it should be. A flat 2.75% of your product price (or sale price)

  • – Only charged once a key is redeemed
  • – No minimum for your first two full months*
  • – No setup fees or hidden costs
  • – PulseCDN storage: 100 GB included, then $0.02 per GB per month. Bandwidth is $0.07 per GB.

*Every developer account has a $50 monthly minimum. It isn’t added on top of your usage: your redemption key fees and PulseCDN bandwidth and storage all count toward it. For developers already on the platform it starts January 1, 2027. For new developers it starts on the first day of the third calendar month after you join, so you get the rest of the month you sign up plus two full billing cycles without it.

Built to Reduce your Customer Support

Pulse was built to reduce your customer support issues and make the entire process of downloading, installing and updating products completely frictionless. You can finally focus on the tasks that matter – like new product development and marketing.

Simplified Product Updates (Free)

Releasing product updates can be a complicated process, but with Pulse it’s simple. No need to email customers with manual download links and ask them to extract / install to the correct location.
 
 
With Pulse, you simply upload your new files to your product in the dashboard and Pulse does the rest. New customers get the full product, but customers who have previously installed just install the updated files.

Easily Notify Your Customers of Product Updates

Without a platform like Pulse, users will only get notified of product updates if you notify them via email. You then have to rely on them receiving and opening your email, as well as understanding how to overwrite folders and files correctly.
 
With Pulse however, when a product is updated the customer will get a notification on their OS letting them know that an update is available (this can be turned on or off within the Pulse preferences).

Automate File Copy/Move/Delete Instructions After Install

Need to install snapshots to the Kontakt User Content folder? Or maybe you want to delete older patches and replace them with new ones with new names?

With Pulse, you can set up instructions for copying, moving or deleting files on a per OS basis (Windows, Mac & Linux) so they are automatically processed after files are extracted.

Increased speeds and reduced bandwidth costs (by 22%)

You can integrate your products to be delivered via our CDN, literally with the click of a button. In doing so, you’ll increase potential download speeds for customers by up to 10x and reduce your costs by up to 22%

Amazon charges $0.09/GB and we’re able to offer you bandwidth at $0.07/GB instead (while increasing speeds). No setup required.

 

Antipiracy solutions as standard

Pulse has numerous levels of antipiracy solutions provided as standard at no additional cost.

Pulse watermarking is a proprietary system custom developed for use with audio software products.

Import Previous Products From Other Platforms at No Cost

We offer the option to import your pre-existing products into Pulse at no cost. You can import your entire database from Continuata or your webstore, then customers can continue to download your products, using the same keys via Pulse instead.

Developer FAQ

No. We built Pulse to provide customers with a single unified platform that provides the exact same experience across multiple companies and products. If we had different versions of the app, it would defeat the purpose of why we created Pulse, as well as confuse customers and be difficult for us to maintain.

No. Upload straight to PulseCDN from your dashboard. Existing storage can be linked by arrangement.

No setup costs and no hidden charges. You pay 2.75% per redeemed key, plus PulseCDN bandwidth ($0.07/GB) and storage (first 100 GB free, then $0.02/GB per month) if you use PulseCDN. A $50 monthly minimum applies (see Pricing above), and your fees count toward it.

 We can provide you with a batch import spreadsheet for your product catalog. It’s quick and easy to fill in and once you send it back we can set up everything for you.

Our CDN has 45 edge locations around the world so when a customer downloads, they’re getting their files from one of their nearest locations in the CDN network. Using the CDN will provide noticeably faster download speeds, with an increase of between 30% to 500% compared to Amazon S3, depending on the customer’s broadband connection, location etc. Speeds are generally only limited by what the customer’s line can handle and can be up to 250 Mbps.

About 10 minutes. We set up your account, then you upload your products. After that, adding a new product takes a couple of minutes.
