Freshping Alternative for Your Monitors After the Shutdown
Freshping, from Freshworks, was a well-liked monitoring tool with a clean status page, and it served a lot of small teams well. Freshworks disabled free accounts on March 6, 2026 and stopped processing renewals from the same date, and it recommends no replacement of its own. Paid plans renewed before that date keep running until the subscription ends, so an annual plan renewed in early March 2026 is still live into early 2027, and that end date is your real migration deadline. UptimeHub is a natural place to land: recreate your monitors, keep the branded public status page your customers already expect on your own domain, and run checks from six regions with auto-retry on by default. Plans start at $24 a month on annual billing, the status page is included on every plan, and there is no per-seat math.
Checked from regions with auto-retry. No single-location false alarms.
All systems operational. Steady pulse across every region.
api.example.com returned no response from all 6 regions. Auto-retry confirmed the outage, then we alerted your team.
api.example.com is back up. The incident is logged to your status page history automatically.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask about switching from Freshping
Freshworks shut Freshping down. Free accounts were disabled on March 6, 2026, and no paid renewals are processed from that date. Account data is kept for 90 days after an account is disabled and then permanently deleted, so free accounts had until June 4, 2026 to export. Freshworks does not recommend a specific replacement.
Only until your current subscription ends. Freshworks honors paid renewals processed before March 6, 2026, so those plans run to their normal end date, and you can export your data for 90 days after it. Nothing renews after that, so treat the end date on your last invoice as the deadline to move your monitors.
It depends on what you used it for. If the draw was the clean branded status page alongside real checks, UptimeHub is the closest match, because the status page is included in every plan on your own domain rather than sold separately or locked to a higher tier. If you monitor a business site, note that UptimeRobot limits its free plan to non-commercial use.
Download the Freshping export, which contains XML files for monitor, status page and integration settings and CSV files for incidents and uptime history. Recreate each monitor with the same URL, check type and interval, rebuild the status page components under the same names, and point your status subdomain at the new page with a CNAME record. Most teams with fewer than fifty monitors finish in under an hour.
Yes. A branded public status page on your own custom domain is part of every plan from $24 a month, not an upgrade or a separate product. Components update automatically from confirmed checks, so a real outage flips the page without anyone logging in, and you keep the subscriber notifications and incident history.
