Frequently asked questions

Is BlackTide a direct Tenderly alternative?
BlackTide covers the Web3 monitoring side of Tenderly - contract event monitoring, gas tracking, whale wallet alerts, DeFi health - but BlackTide also covers traditional uptime monitoring (HTTP, DNS, TLS) that Tenderly doesn't offer. If you use Tenderly purely for debugging and TestNets, BlackTide is not a replacement. If you use Tenderly primarily for monitoring and alerts, BlackTide is a stronger option.
Does BlackTide support all the EVM chains Tenderly supports?
BlackTide supports 8 EVM mainnets (Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, Fantom) plus 4 testnets. Tenderly supports 30+ EVM chains. If your chain isn't in BlackTide's list, check the docs - new chain support is added regularly.
Can BlackTide replace both Tenderly and UptimeRobot?
Yes. BlackTide combines traditional uptime monitoring (HTTP, TCP, DNS, TLS, heartbeat) with Web3 monitoring in one platform. Teams currently paying for Tenderly ($49/mo) + UptimeRobot ($7/mo) can replace both with BlackTide starting at $19/mo.
Does BlackTide have a visual debugger like Tenderly?
No. BlackTide is a monitoring and alerting platform, not a development debugging tool. Tenderly's visual debugger and transaction simulator are better suited for smart contract development. BlackTide is better suited for production monitoring and incident response.
How does BlackTide pricing compare to Tenderly?
Tenderly pricing is based on Tenderly Units (TU) which can be complex to estimate. BlackTide uses simple flat-rate pricing: free tier, $19/mo Starter, $49/mo Pro (unlimited monitors). Most monitoring-focused use cases cost less on BlackTide.
