Independent founder, not a public company
Monit247 isn't a side product on a multi-billion-dollar roadmap. It's the main thing. We don't get reorganized into oblivion when next quarter's earnings call happens.
Freshping Alternative
Freshping Shut Down.
Freshping Shut Down.
Your Deletion Deadline Is June 2026.
Freshworks is discontinuing Freshping after seven years of "free forever." If you don't migrate before June, your data is gone. Monit247 is a managed alternative — sub-minute checks from 5 global regions, 5 monitors free, set up in 60 seconds.
5 monitors free. No credit card. Set up in 60 seconds.
What Happened to Freshping
If you used Freshping, here's where you stand right now:
Announced March 6, 2026. Freshworks said Freshping no longer fits their product strategy. Seven years of "free forever" ended in one email.
Data deletion ~June 2026. After the cutoff, your monitors, history, and status pages are gone. Export now or lose it.
No replacement from Freshworks. They're not migrating you to another product. You're on your own to find a new tool.
Your monitors will start failing silently. Once Freshping's checkers stop, you won't know your sites are down — until customers tell you.
Why Monit247
A Replacement That Won't Disappear in Two Years
If Freshping taught you anything, it's that "free forever" from a public company is a marketing phrase. Here's what's different about Monit247:
Built on Cloudflare's edge
Marginal cost per check is fractions of a cent. We don't need to gut the free tier to make the unit economics work. 5 monitors free, forever.
5 global check regions
Catch regional outages and false positives. Pro plan and above. Freshping had multi-region too — Monit247 keeps it standard.
Status pages included
Public status pages on every paid plan. Custom domain on Pro and Business. Replace your Freshping status page in minutes.
Heartbeat & cron monitoring
Beyond uptime. Watch your scheduled tasks, billing runs, email queues. Catch silent failures Freshping never could.
AI content moderation
Unique to Monit247. Detect when your site returns 200 OK while serving defaced content, hate speech, or compromised pages. Freshping had no equivalent.
