Freshping shut down: where to go
Freshworks shut down Freshping for good: free accounts were disabled March 6, 2026, paid renewals stopped the same day, and any data still on the service was permanently deleted after a 90-day retention window, around June 4, 2026. There is no dashboard left to log into, and Freshworks named no replacement product in its own deprecation FAQ, only telling departing customers to export their own data and explore other monitoring services on their own. This page is not a head-to-head: there is nothing left to compare against. It covers what a former Freshping user actually needs next, and what RealUptime Status ships for it today.

Is there a free tier?
RealUptime is free to start and never asks for a card. One signup turns on the free rung of every product: 10 monitors with a public status page, 5 server-agent slots, and 10,000 error events a month kept for 14 days. RealUptime Outages is free to read with no account at all.
Freshping: none any more. The free plan was disabled on March 6, 2026 and cannot be reactivated.
Is it open source or self-hosted?
RealUptime's core is a hosted service and its source is not published, so there is no self-hosted edition of the platform itself. The parts that run on your side are open source at github.com/RealUptimeHQ: the CLI and the RealUptime Errors SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Go, PHP and Ruby are MIT-licensed, and the Grafana data source is Apache 2.0.
Freshping: a hosted product that published no source and is no longer offered.
If self-hosting is a hard requirement, these are the open-source options in this category: Uptime Kuma (MIT), OpenStatus (AGPL-3.0), Healthchecks.io (BSD 3-Clause) and OneUptime (Apache 2.0).
Looking for a Freshping alternative?
For the reasoning behind checking from more than one region at all, see why a status page can show all green during a real outage. Comparing more than just this one alternative? The status page tool checklist covers what to test before committing to any of them.
