Freshping shut down on 6 March 2026 and its data was deleted that June — Freshworks ended it with no replacement and no automatic migration. If you're looking for where your monitors should live now, here's the honest answer.
Freshping was Freshworks' free uptime monitor — 50 checks at one-minute intervals and five status pages, at no cost. Then, on 5 January 2026, Freshworks announced it was winding the product down: service ended on 6 March 2026 and account data was permanently deleted around 4 June 2026, with no successor product and no built-in migration path.
So this isn't really a feature face-off — it's a relocation guide. 247Monitor is built for exactly the teams Freshping left behind: a free plan that stays free, the same one-minute checks (and 30-second checks from £9), status pages on every plan, and a company whose entire reason to exist is keeping your monitoring running.
Side by side
Freshping was discontinued by Freshworks in March 2026. Here's what it offered at the end versus what 247Monitor offers today — so you can see exactly what carries across.

The case for switching
Freshping's lesson is that a free tool inside a big suite can be cancelled when priorities change. 247Monitor's only product is monitoring — keeping it running is the entire business, not a line item under review.
One-minute checks, status pages and a free tier carry straight over. Then you get what Freshping never had: 30-second intervals, real-browser journeys with full forensics, domain-expiry and heartbeat checks, and years of result history.
Freshping gave no automatic export path to anywhere. Recreating monitors in 247Monitor takes minutes in the UI or a short script against our REST API — and most former Freshping setups map across one-to-one.
We don't have a sunset plan for our free tier — it's how people meet the product. Twenty-five monitors, one-minute checks, a status page and all six alert channels, indefinitely.
FAQ
Freshworks announced on 5 January 2026 that it was discontinuing Freshping. The service shut down on 6 March 2026 and account data was permanently deleted around 4 June 2026. There's no replacement product from Freshworks, and there was no automatic migration — users had to export their configuration and history manually before the deadline.
There's no one-click importer (Freshping offered no migration API to anywhere), but the move is quick: most Freshping monitors — HTTP, ping, port, DNS — map directly to ours, and you can recreate them in the UI in under an hour or script them against our REST API.
It's in the same spirit: 25 monitors at one-minute checks, a status page and all six alert channels, free forever. Freshping allowed more raw checks, but ours adds Slack, Discord, Teams, Telegram and webhook alerts on free and a clear upgrade path to 30-second checks and browser journeys — from a product that isn't being wound down.
