Freshping alternative
Freshping is gone. Here is what to replace it with.
Freshworks shut Freshping down on March 6, 2026, and deleted remaining customer data in June 2026. If you were still relying on it for client sites, your monitoring stopped and your history is not coming back.
Freshping was popular with agencies because it was free, simple, and had no opinion about whose sites you pointed it at. Most of the obvious replacements fail one of those tests. This page lays out the options, including the ones that are not us.
The replacements, side by side
What each one costs once you use it for paying clients and want your own name on it.
| UptimeRobot | Better Stack | Hyperping | Site Monitor | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Client / commercial sites | Paid plans only — the free plan bans commercial and client sites since Dec 2024 | Paid plans | Paid plans | Yes, on every plan |
| Price for agency use | Team plan $35–46/mo for 100 monitors | $250/mo per white-label status page | Branding removed only at $299/mo | $49/mo for 25 sites · $99/mo for 100 |
| Alerts from your own domain | No — status pages only are white-labeled; alert emails come from UptimeRobot | — | — | Yes — custom SMTP, included |
| White-label status pages | On Team | $250/mo each | From $299/mo | Included on Agency plans |
| Branded uptime reports to clients | — | — | — | Weekly or monthly, your logo |
| Check interval | 30 seconds on Team | — | — | About every 2 minutes, confirmed before alerting |
| Global probe network | Yes | — | — | No multi-region probe network |
| Phone-call alerts | Yes | — | — | Email, Slack, webhook and SMS |
| SOC 2 report | Yes | — | — | Not audited ourselves; hosted on Vercel (SOC 2 Type 2) |
Where the others win
UptimeRobot's paid plans check every 30 seconds from a global probe network, can call your phone, and come with a SOC 2 report. Better Stack and Hyperping are polished incident-management products with far more depth than a monitor alone. If detection time, on-call scheduling or an auditor's checkbox is what your contract promises, look there first and budget for the white-label fees.
Where Site Monitor wins
If what you actually did with Freshping was "watch client sites, get an email, send a monthly report", Site Monitor is the closest thing to that, with the parts agencies always had to bolt on: alerts and reports sent from your domain, your logo on everything the client sees, status pages, Slack and webhook routing, and a calendar view for the quarterly review. All of it is included at $49/mo for 25 sites ($1.96/site) or $99/mo for 100 ($0.99/site), with no per-page branding fee.
Moving from Freshping in an afternoon
- Collect the URLs you monitored. If you kept them in Freshping only, pull them from your client list or care-plan invoices.
- Start a 14-day trial and add the sites. Bulk edit lets you set alert recipients and intervals across all of them at once.
- Connect your own SMTP in Settings so alerts arrive from your domain, and upload your logo for reports.
- Turn on public status pages for the clients who want one, and schedule the monthly report.
- Send yourself a test alert. Then tell your clients monitoring is back — under your name this time.
Verdict
Choose UptimeRobot, Better Stack or Hyperping if you need sub-minute checks, global probes, phone calls or a SOC 2 report, and the white-label fees fit your budget.
Choose Site Monitor if you want what Freshping gave you, plus your own brand on every alert and report, at a price that still makes sense inside a $100–$250/mo care plan.
