Migrate from Freshping to FourSight in 10 Minutes
Freshping (by Freshworks) shut down on March 6, 2026, and its checks no longer run. To replace it: create a free FourSight account, re-create each check as a monitor, rebuild your status page, and reconnect alerts. There is no automated importer — but most teams re-create 20 monitors in under 15 minutes.
Free plan: 10 monitors, commercial use allowed, no credit card.
What happened to Freshping?
Freshworks discontinued Freshping, its free uptime-monitoring product, on March 6, 2026. On that date checks stopped running, dashboards went offline, and new signups and renewals were closed. Freshworks stated that account data would be deleted after June 4, 2026 — so if you didn't export your check list before that deadline, it is likely gone.
The practical consequence: if Freshping was your only uptime monitor, your sites and APIs have been running unmonitored since the shutdown. An outage, an expired SSL certificate, or a lapsed domain today would go completely unnoticed until a customer tells you. That — not marketing urgency — is the real reason to set up a replacement this week.
The good news: Freshping setups were HTTP-only and usually small, which makes them the easiest migrations in the category. Everything Freshping did fits inside FourSight's free tier or the $16/mo Starter plan — and you gain 4-region consensus that Freshping never had.
Which FourSight plan replaces your Freshping setup?
Freshping's free tier offered 50 HTTP monitors at 1-minute intervals. Here's the honest mapping — most former Freshping users fit on Free or Starter.
| You had (Freshping) | You need (FourSight) | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Freshping Free — 50 monitors, 1-min HTTP checks (discontinued Mar 6, 2026) | FourSight Free — 10 monitors, 5-min checks, 4-region validation, 1 status page, commercial use allowed | $0 |
| Freshping Free, if you used most of the 50 monitors | FourSight Starter — 50 monitors, 1-min checks, email/Slack/webhook alerts, 2 status pages | $16/mo |
| Freshping + separate SSL/cron tooling | FourSight Growth — 100 monitors, all 8 check types incl. heartbeat, 30s checks, escalation policies, multi-user | $40/mo |
| Larger estates / agencies | FourSight Pro (250 monitors, SMS, $80/mo) or Scale (500+ monitors, 15s checks, white-label, $160/mo) | $80–160/mo |

How do you migrate from Freshping to FourSight?
Six honest steps. No importer, no magic — just fast manual re-creation, which for a typical Freshping setup takes about 10 minutes.
-
1
Inventory your Freshping checks
Freshping's dashboards went offline with the March 6, 2026 shutdown, so work from what you have: any export you saved before the deadline, old Freshping alert emails (each names the check and URL), your DNS zone file, or your deployment inventory. List every URL you were monitoring, plus its check interval and who got alerted.
-
2
Create a free FourSight account
Sign up at foursight.cloud — no credit card required. The Free plan includes 10 monitors with 4-region validation, and commercial use is explicitly allowed, so client sites and production apps are fine on $0. If your Freshping list is longer than 10 URLs, Starter ($16/mo) covers 50 monitors at 1-minute intervals.
-
3
Re-create your monitors
Freshping checks were HTTP, so most map 1:1 to FourSight HTTP monitors: paste the URL, set the interval, save. There is no automated importer — but adding a monitor takes about 30 seconds, and most teams re-create 20 monitors in under 15 minutes. On Growth and above you can also upgrade coverage while you're at it: dedicated SSL-expiry, DNS, domain-expiry, keyword, port, and heartbeat checks Freshping never offered.
-
4
Rebuild your status page
If you ran a Freshping public status page, create one in FourSight (every plan includes at least one), select which monitors appear, and point your status subdomain's CNAME at the new page. Do this early — your old Freshping status URL has been dead since the shutdown, and customers may still have it bookmarked.
-
5
Reconnect alerts and escalation
Add your notification channels: email on every plan; Slack and webhooks on Starter and above; SMS on Pro and above. On Growth+ you can go beyond Freshping's flat alerting with escalation policies — alert the on-call engineer first, then escalate if nobody acknowledges.
-
6
Verify everything is green
Watch the first check cycle complete from all four regions, then test one alert end-to-end (pause a staging monitor or point a test monitor at a 404). Once every monitor is green and one test alert has arrived, your migration is done.
What do you gain by switching?
Freshping was a solid free HTTP monitor. FourSight is a full monitoring platform — this is what changes beyond "your checks run again."
| Capability | Freshping (as it was) | FourSight |
|---|---|---|
| Check types | HTTP only | 8 types: HTTP, SSL, DNS, domain expiry, keyword, ping, port, heartbeat (all 8 on Growth+) |
| False-positive protection | Multi-location checks, no consensus | 4-region quorum — regions vote before an incident opens |
| Cron & background jobs | Not supported | Heartbeat monitors for cron jobs, queues, and scheduled tasks |
| Alert routing | Flat notifications | Escalation policies — page the right person, escalate on no-ack (Growth+) |
| Incident handling | Basic alerts | Auto-created incidents with severity, timeline, and status updates |
| Maintenance windows | Not supported | One-time and recurring windows that suppress alerts |
| Commercial use on free tier | Allowed (while it existed) | Explicitly allowed — no card required |
4-region quorum — no more single-vantage false alarms
8 check types, incl. SSL, domain expiry & heartbeats
Free plan allows commercial use — client sites included
Freshping migration FAQ
What happened to Freshping?
Freshworks shut down Freshping, its free uptime-monitoring product, on March 6, 2026. Checks stopped running, dashboards went offline, and no new signups or renewals have been accepted since. Freshworks stated that account data would be deleted after June 4, 2026, so unexported check lists are likely gone.
Can I import my Freshping monitors into FourSight automatically?
No — FourSight does not have a CSV or API import tool for other providers' monitors, and we won't pretend otherwise. Migration is manual re-creation: paste each URL, pick an interval, save. Most teams re-create 20 monitors in under 15 minutes.
Freshping gave me 50 free monitors. Can FourSight's free plan replace that?
FourSight Free includes 10 monitors with 4-region quorum validation, email alerts, and a status page. If you genuinely need more than 10, Starter is $16/mo for 50 monitors at 1-minute intervals — comparable capacity to Freshping's old free tier, with multi-region consensus Freshping never had.
Can I use FourSight's free plan for client or business sites?
Yes. FourSight's free plan explicitly allows commercial use — production apps, client sites, and revenue-generating SaaS are all permitted on the $0 tier. No credit card is required to sign up.
I never exported my Freshping data. How do I rebuild my monitor list?
Reconstruct it from other sources: old Freshping alert emails (each includes the check name and URL), your DNS zone records, your reverse proxy or load-balancer config, and your deployment inventory. Most teams recover a complete list this way in a few minutes.
What does FourSight cost after the free plan?
Paid plans are flat and public: Starter $16/mo (50 monitors, 1-min checks), Growth $40/mo (100 monitors, all 8 check types, 30-second checks, escalation policies), Pro $80/mo (250 monitors, SMS alerts), and Scale $160/mo (500+ monitors, 15-second checks, white-label status pages).
