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.

Looking for a Freshping alternative?
Freshping is gone, not paused: there is no way to log into an old Freshping account, and Freshworks's own deprecation FAQ names no replacement product, pointing departing customers to the Freshping Public API to export their own configuration and history before deletion and to explore other monitoring services on their own. Because there is no live Freshping account left, there is nothing for us to import automatically: setting up here means re-adding each URL by hand, the same first step any move to any provider requires once a vendor shuts down. What it gets you: a Free plan with no credit card, checks run from four named regions and shown together instead of collapsed into one badge, and a public status page bundled into the same plan rather than sold separately.
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.
