Comparison reflects publicly documented plans as of June 2026. UptimeRobot restricted its free plan to non-commercial use in October 2024, which is why many former Freshping users on business sites need a paid plan there.

Why UpAlert

UpAlert runs on Cloudflare's global edge network — no servers to manage, no agents to install. You paste a URL, pick how often to check it (down to every minute on Pro), and we ping it continuously. The moment a site goes down we open an incident and send you an email or Slack alert; when it recovers, we tell you that too.

Unlike UptimeRobot's free tier, UpAlert's free plan allows commercial use, so you can monitor a revenue-generating site without paying on day one.

Freshping migration FAQ

Why did Freshping shut down?

Freshworks discontinued Freshping on March 6, 2026. Existing monitors were disabled and the service is no longer available, so former users need to migrate to another uptime monitoring tool.

What is the best free Freshping alternative?

UpAlert is a simple, edge-native alternative with a free plan (email alerts) and Pro plans that add 1-minute checks, Slack alerts and public status pages. Its free plan allows commercial use, unlike UptimeRobot's.

How do I migrate from Freshping to UpAlert?

Create a free account, paste your URLs as new monitors, choose a check interval, and enable email or Slack alerts. There's no import step — setup takes a couple of minutes per site.
