From a discontinued free tool to a sustainable platform
- 01
The hidden cost of free tools
Freshping's generous free tier (50 monitors) is exactly why it disappeared: it never became a sustainable product, and its users are now rebuilding their monitoring from scratch.
When your uptime monitoring itself goes down for good, the cost is a lot higher than a subscription.
- 02
Hyperping's pricing
Start free with 20 monitors and a status page. The Essentials plan at $24/mo covers 50 monitors with 30-second intervals, escalation policies, SMS alerts, a branded status page, and 3 seats.
The Pro plan at $74/mo adds 250 monitors, browser checks, on-call scheduling, voice call alerts, private status pages, and 10 seats. Additional seats are billed separately.
- 03
Bottom line
Freshping is not coming back, and every remaining plan ends at its expiry date. Rebuild on a platform whose core business is monitoring, not a side product waiting for the next portfolio cleanup.
Hyperping replaces Freshping + a status page tool + an alerting tool, in one product with a free tier.

Hyperping vs. Freshping, your questions.
Is Freshping shut down?
Yes. Freshworks disabled Freshping's free plan on March 6, 2026 and stopped renewing paid plans: a plan renewed before that date runs to its natural expiry, then stops. There is no official successor product.
Can I export my data from Freshping?
Free-plan data could be exported until June 4, 2026 and is now deleted. A paid account can export for 90 days after its subscription ends. Either way you recreate your monitors and status page in a new tool; in Hyperping, a typical Freshping setup takes under an hour.
What is the best Freshping alternative?
Hyperping is the most complete replacement: it covers everything Freshping did (HTTP/ping checks, email alerts, status pages, a free plan) and adds 30-second intervals, browser checks, cron monitoring, on-call scheduling, and advanced status pages.
Does Hyperping have a free plan like Freshping?
Yes. Hyperping's free plan includes 20 monitors and 1 status page, with no credit card required. Paid plans add 30-second intervals, more monitors, on-call, and advanced status pages.
How do I migrate from Freshping to Hyperping?
Sign up for the free plan, add your URLs as monitors (HTTP, ping, TCP, or DNS), configure your alert channels (email, Slack, Teams, SMS), and create your status page. Since Freshping data can't be exported anymore, recreating checks manually is the only path, and it typically takes minutes.
