A Freshping Alternative to Move To Now That It Is Winding Down
Freshping, from Freshworks, was a well-liked free monitoring tool with a clean status page, and it served a lot of small teams well. It was discontinued on March 6, 2026, so if you relied on it you are now looking for a new home for your monitors. Uptimehub is a natural, honest place to land: bring your monitors over, keep the branded public status page your customers already expect, and run checks from six regions with auto-retry on by default. It is affordable and self-serve, with a free demo so you can see exactly how it works before you move anything. Pricing is published on the page, 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
Freshping, the free uptime monitor from Freshworks, was discontinued on March 6, 2026. Existing monitors and status pages stopped running, so teams that relied on it have had to move. Anything you exported before shutdown, such as monitor URLs, check intervals and status page component names, transfers cleanly into another tool in a few minutes.
It depends on what you used it for. If the draw was the free tier, UptimeRobot and Uptime Kuma are the closest equivalents. If it was the clean branded status page alongside real checks, Uptimehub is the closer match, because the status page is included in every plan on your own domain rather than sold separately or locked to a higher tier.
Recreate each monitor with the same URL, check type and interval, then rebuild the status page components under the same names so customers see no change. Point your existing status subdomain at the new page with a CNAME record and keep the old link working. Most teams with fewer than fifty monitors finish the move in under an hour.
Yes, though free tiers in this category are getting thinner. UptimeRobot still offers 50 monitors at five minute checks, and Uptime Kuma is free if you host it yourself. The tradeoff is check frequency and where the checks run from: free plans usually mean a single location and slower intervals, which is exactly what delays detection of a real outage.
Yes. A branded public status page on your own custom domain is part of every plan from $9 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.
