Freshping shut down on March 6, 2026. FourSight is a dedicated replacement: 8 check types, 4-region quorum consensus, status pages, and a free plan you can migrate to today. Freshping is gone: Freshworks shut it down on March 6, 2026, and account data was scheduled for deletion after June 4, 2026 (as announced by Freshworks). FourSight is a dedicated replacement you can stand up in about 10 minutes — free plan with 10 monitors, 4-region quorum checks, 8 check types, and hosted status pages. [Replace Freshping in 10 minutes](/auth?signup=true) [View pricing](/pricing) Why switch? ## FourSight vs Freshping: the breakdown Freshping was Freshworks' free uptime monitor — 50 HTTP checks at 1-minute intervals, genuinely free, and beloved by small teams for exactly that. That era ended definitively: Freshworks shut the product down on March 6, 2026, and announced account data would be deleted after June 4, 2026. The shutdown is also a useful lesson in vendor selection: Freshping was a free side product inside a large CRM/helpdesk suite, not a business. Products that don't pay their own way eventually lose the internal argument. When you pick a replacement, favor vendors whose entire business is monitoring — the thing keeping your alerting alive should be revenue, not goodwill. FourSight is purpose-built for the post-Freshping workload and then some: 8 check types (Freshping was HTTP-only, so [SSL expiry](/features/ssl-monitoring) and [DNS checks](/features/dns-monitoring) are new capability, not just continuity), 4-region [quorum consensus](/glossary/quorum-monitoring) (Freshping checked from multiple locations but never confirmed with consensus), structured incident management with severity levels and timelines, [maintenance windows](/glossary/maintenance-window), escalation policies, and hosted [status pages](/features/status-pages) on every plan. Most former Freshping setups are small — a dozen URLs and a Slack webhook. That migration takes about 10 minutes (there's a step-by-step [Freshping migration guide](/migrate/freshping)), and the Free plan covers it without a credit card. If you were one of the teams actually using all 50 free monitors, Starter at $16/mo covers the same count with 1-minute intervals. The timeline ## What happened to Freshping? If your Freshping dashboard stopped working, you're not imagining it. Here is the timeline of the shutdown, so you know exactly where you stand — and why waiting doesn't help. March 6, 2026 ### Freshping shut down Freshworks discontinued Freshping: new signups and renewals ended and the monitoring service was wound down (as announced by Freshworks; verify against official Freshworks communications). Monitors stopped checking — any site relying on Freshping alerts has been unmonitored since. June 4, 2026 ### Data deletion deadline passed Freshworks announced that account data would be deleted after June 4, 2026. As of July 2026, that window has closed — if you didn't export your monitor lists and uptime history before then, assume they're gone. The good news: a monitor list is just URLs, and you can rebuild it from your own infrastructure inventory in minutes. Today ### The urgency is real, not marketing Every day between Freshping's shutdown and your replacement going live is a day your sites can go down silently — no alert, no status-page update, no incident record. Whatever tool you pick (this page obviously argues for FourSight), pick one this week. Shutdown and data-deletion dates as announced by Freshworks and reported by industry coverage as of July 2026 — verify against official Freshworks communications. Advantages ## Why teams choose FourSight over Freshping ### A dedicated, actively developed monitoring product Freshping was a free side product inside a large suite — and it was ultimately shut down. FourSight's entire roadmap is uptime monitoring; there is no parent suite to absorb it. ### 8 monitor types vs HTTP-only Freshping supported HTTP checks. FourSight adds SSL expiry, DNS drift, domain expiry, keyword, ping, port, and heartbeat/cron monitoring for complete coverage. ### Multi-region quorum consensus Freshping checked from multiple locations but didn't confirm incidents with consensus. FourSight uses 4-region quorum voting to eliminate single-region false positives. ### Full incident management and maintenance windows FourSight auto-creates incidents with severity levels, status updates, and event timelines, and lets you schedule one-time or recurring maintenance windows — capabilities Freshping never had. Pricing ## Pricing: FourSight vs Freshping Freshping's headline was 'free, 50 monitors.' Here's what replacing each Freshping usage pattern actually costs in 2026. Scenario FourSight Freshping Up to 10 monitors (most former Freshping setups) Free — $0. 4-region quorum, email alerts, 1 status page, commercial use allowed, no card. Freshping Free no longer exists — the service shut down March 6, 2026. Up to 50 monitors (Freshping Free's old cap) Starter — $16/mo. 1-minute intervals, Slack + webhooks, maintenance windows, 2 status pages. No replacement from Freshworks; its monitoring is now bundled inside paid Freshservice tiers, not a standalone product. Growing past HTTP-only (SSL, DNS, cron, escalations) Growth — $40/mo. 100 monitors, all 8 check types, 30s intervals, escalation policies, 5 status pages. Freshping never offered these — this is the tier where you gain capability, not just continuity. Freshworks/Freshping details as published July 2026 — verify with the vendor against official Freshworks communications. FourSight prices are from our public pricing page (annual billing ≈ 25% discount). FourSight Free: 10 monitors, 5-minute intervals, 4-region quorum consensus, email alerts, 1 status page — commercial use allowed, no card. Freshping's free 50-monitor tier no longer exists; the service shut down March 6, 2026. FourSight Starter ($16/mo): 50 monitors — the same count Freshping Free offered — with 1-minute intervals, Slack & webhook alerts, maintenance windows, and 2 status pages. FourSight Growth ($40/mo): 100 monitors, 30-second intervals, all 8 check types, escalation policies, multi-user orgs, and 5 status pages — a tier Freshping never had an equivalent for. Full FourSight plan details are on the [pricing page](/pricing) — five flat tiers, annual billing ≈ 25% off, no per-monitor surprise fees.

Here's the fair version — when FourSight is the right call, and when Freshping still is. ### Choose FourSight if… FourSight is the natural landing spot for most former Freshping users. - You need a replacement running this week — signup to first alert channel takes about 10 minutes. - You want a vendor whose only business is monitoring, so a suite reshuffle can't kill your alerting again. - You'd like to upgrade coverage while you're at it: SSL expiry, DNS drift, domain expiry, and cron/heartbeat checks Freshping never had. - You want multi-region quorum so the new tool pages you less often than the old one did, not more. ### Choose Freshping if… There's no 'stay on Freshping' option anymore, but FourSight isn't the answer for everyone. - You need 50+ monitors and genuinely cannot pay anything: UptimeRobot's free tier (50 monitors, non-commercial use only) or a self-hosted Uptime Kuma instance are the honest free-at-scale answers. - You were using Freshping's Freshworks-suite integrations heavily and are staying in that ecosystem — Freshservice's built-in monitoring may fit despite the cost. - You want deep observability (logs, traces) bundled with uptime — look at Better Stack's suite instead of a focused monitor. Migration ## How to migrate from Freshping to FourSight Since Freshping's data was deleted after June 4, 2026, this is a rebuild, not an export — and that's fine, because a monitor list is just URLs. There's no importer to wait for: most teams re-create 20 monitors in under 15 minutes. Estimated time: About 10 minutes for a typical former Freshping setup 1. 1 ### Rebuild your URL list from your own inventory Your Freshping data is gone, but your infrastructure isn't: pull URLs from your DNS zone, load balancer config, or bookmarks. Most teams can list every endpoint that matters in five minutes. 2. 2 ### Sign up to FourSight Free Create a free account at foursight.cloud — 10 monitors with 4-region quorum consensus, no credit card, commercial use allowed. 3. 3 ### Add monitors and pick the right type Most Freshping checks were HTTP — re-create those first. Then add what Freshping couldn't do: an SSL monitor per certificate, DNS monitors for critical records, and heartbeat monitors for cron jobs (Growth plan). 4. 4 ### Configure notifications Email is included on Free. Slack and webhooks unlock on Starter; SMS on Pro. Point them at the same channels your Freshping alerts used. 5. 5 ### Recreate your status page Add a public status page, attach your monitors, and share the new URL wherever the old Freshping page was linked. Custom CSS is available on Pro. [Replace Freshping in 10 minutes](/auth?signup=true) No credit card. No import tool needed — monitors are just URLs plus a check type. FAQ ## Common questions #### What happened to Freshping? Freshworks shut down Freshping on March 6, 2026 — new signups and renewals were discontinued, and account data was scheduled for deletion after June 4, 2026 (as announced by Freshworks; verify against official communications). The monitors stopped running; users need a replacement service. #### Can I still export my Freshping data? Probably not. Freshworks announced that account data would be deleted after June 4, 2026. If you didn't export monitor lists or uptime history before then, plan to rebuild your monitor list from your own inventory of URLs — for most former Freshping users that's 10–50 URLs and takes minutes. #### Freshping Free had 50 monitors. What's the FourSight equivalent? FourSight Free covers 10 monitors with 4-region quorum consensus and a status page. If you genuinely need 50, Starter is $16/mo with 1-minute intervals — and unlike a free product inside a large suite, it's the paid core of a dedicated business, which is exactly what keeps a monitoring vendor alive. #### Is Freshping coming back? There's been no indication of that. Freshworks discontinued the product on March 6, 2026 and scheduled account data for deletion after June 4, 2026 (as announced by Freshworks — verify against official communications). Its monitoring capabilities were folded into the broader paid Freshworks suite rather than continued as a standalone free product. #### I lost my Freshping uptime history. Can FourSight import it? No — historical uptime data can't be imported from any vendor, and Freshping's was deleted after June 4, 2026 regardless. FourSight starts building your uptime history from the moment monitors go live, which is one more argument for migrating this week rather than next month. #### Will my Freshworks integrations break? FourSight doesn't ship native Freshdesk/Freshservice connectors, but webhooks handle most workflows — point a FourSight webhook at your Freshdesk inbound URL or automation rule.
