Freshping, in short
Was a well-loved free uptime monitor for freelancers and agencies for years, until Freshworks shut it down entirely on March 6, 2026, with no successor product and no migration path.
What actually happened to Freshping
If you're still catching up, here's the timeline in full.
1
January 5, 2026
Freshworks emailed Freshping users announcing the product would be discontinued.
2
March 6, 2026
Free accounts were disabled and no further renewals were accepted. Paid subscriptions ran until their existing billing cycle ended.
3
June 4, 2026
90 days after shutdown, Freshworks permanently deleted all remaining Freshping account data. That window has now closed.
4
Today
Freshworks has not released a successor product. Its own FAQ simply tells former users to evaluate other monitoring tools.
Statixoup plans, in full
So you're not taking our word for it in the table below. These are the live plans.
Feature by feature comparison
Freshping no longer exists, so this isn't a live comparison. It's Freshping's last known free plan, as documented before shutdown, set next to what Statixoup actually runs right now. Being honest here matters more than winning every row.
| Feature | Statixoup | Freshping |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Active, currently onboarding new accounts | Discontinued since March 6, 2026 |
| Free plan check interval | 3 minutes | 1 minute, genuinely faster than our current free plan |
| Free plan volume | 1,000 tokens per month, usage-based | 50 monitors, a flat count, forever free |
| Free plan team seats | Not listed per plan | Up to 30 users on the free plan |
| Free plan commercial use | Allowed | Allowed, same as Statixoup |
| Check locations | Not publicly listed as a fixed count | Around 10 global locations |
| Alert channels | Slack, Discord, Teams, WhatsApp, SMS, voice, email | Slack, SMS, email. No WhatsApp |
| Tells you why it failed | Yes, plain-language cause on every alert | Up or down status. No confirmed root-cause explanation |
| Status pages | Included, branded | Included, via the paired Freshstatus product |
| SSL, DNS, port, API, cron monitoring | Yes | SSL and DNS checks only. No API or cron/heartbeat monitoring |
| Ongoing development | Actively maintained | None. No updates since shutdown, no successor product |
| Paid plans | $9 Pro, $29 Team, $79 Enterprise, all still available today | Formerly $11 to $72/month. No longer purchasable |
| Freshping figures come from its last published G2 listing and third-party documentation before shutdown, since its own pricing page is no longer live. If you remember your plan differently, trust your memory over this table. Check statixoup.com/pricing and directly before you decide. | ||
How Statixoup verifies before it alerts you
This is the mechanical reason our alerts carry a "why," not just a "what."
1
First check fails
A scheduled check comes back with an error instead of a healthy response.
2
Failure is verified
We re-check before treating it as real, cutting down the single-blip false alarms other monitors send.
3
Reason is attached
We log the network diagnostics and root cause, an expired cert, a 403, a DNS change, in plain language.
4
Team is notified
Alert goes out on the channel your team actually watches: WhatsApp, voice call, Slack, Discord, SMS, or email.
What Freshping got right, honestly
It's easy to only list what a discontinued product lacked. That's not honest. Freshping's free plan was genuinely generous, and we'd rather say so.
What Statixoup adds that Freshping never had
WhatsApp and voice call alerts, not just email and SMSe
A plain-language reason for every failure, not just an up or down result
API and cron/heartbeat monitoring, which Freshping's checks never covered
A product that's actively maintained, not one that can disappear with 60 days' notice
What Freshping genuinely got right
A flat 50 monitors on the free plan, more than most competitors ever offered for free
1-minute checks even on that free plan, faster than most free tiers in the category
Up to 30 team members on one free account, unusually generous for a $0 plan
Years of loyalty from freelancers and small agencies, reflected in 993 reviews on G2
What to actually look for in a replacement
Not every "Freshping alternative" is a fair swap. A few things are worth checking before you commit to one.
Where Statixoup stands on each
Free plan allows commercial use, no personal-use restriction
Alerts reach WhatsApp, voice call, Slack, Discord, Teams, SMS, or email
Actively developed today, with a live pricing page and support team
Branded status pages included with every plan, free or paid
Red flags to check for
A free plan restricted to personal, non-commercial use, several tools changed this after Freshping's shutdown gave them new customers to court
No alert channel beyond email, which becomes a single point of failure if that inbox goes unwatched
A young product with no funding history or clear sign it will still exist in two years
Status pages sold as a separate purchase rather than included
Try it before you switch anything
No signup, no trial, no commitment. Just point these at your site.

Common questions
Freshworks said supporting Freshping was no longer part of its go-forward plan and chose to retire it rather than risk service quality. The company hasn't released a replacement monitoring product and directs former users to explore other tools on their own.
