Migrate in under 10 minutes

No data import needed. Just recreate your monitors and you're live.

1

Sign up free

Create an account at servicealert.ai. No credit card required. Your free dashboard is ready immediately.

2

Add your monitors

Add your HTTP, ping, TCP, SSL, DNS, or heartbeat monitors. Paste the same URLs you had in Freshping.

3

Connect your alerts

Wire up Slack, Teams, Discord, email, SMS, or webhooks. Same channels, richer notifications.

4

Track your vendors too

Select which of the 2,321+ cloud services you depend on. Get alerted when AWS, Stripe, or Slack has issues, something Freshping never offered.

What you gain by switching

Freshping was a simple uptime checker. ServiceAlert is a reliability operations platform for vendor dependencies, your own services, incidents, and status pages.

Vendor dependency monitoring

Know when the services your product depends on go down, before your customers tell you. Track 2,321+ services from a single dashboard.

Early warning signals

Crowd-sourced outage reports from Reddit, Hacker News, and Bluesky detect issues before the vendor's status page updates.

Certificate lifecycle

Auto-discovery via CT logs, OCSP/CRL revocation monitoring, renewal alerts at 30/14/7/3 days, and audit-ready PCI/SOC 2/NIST compliance reports. Full CLM platform at a fraction of Qualys or Venafi pricing.

Free public tools

Status checker, DNS lookup, WHOIS lookup, SLA calculator, all free, no account required.

Frequently asked

Why did Freshping shut down?
Freshworks discontinued Freshping on March 6, 2026 as part of a portfolio simplification. No direct replacement was offered within the Freshworks ecosystem. Users had until June 4, 2026 (90 days) to export data before permanent deletion.
Is ServiceAlert.ai really free?
Yes. The free tier includes real-time monitoring of 2,321+ cloud services, email alerts, and a 24-hour dashboard. No credit card, no trial expiration. Paid plans ($10-$999/mo) add uptime monitors for your own infrastructure, extended history, and team features.
Can I import my Freshping monitors?
There's no automated import (Freshping's API is offline), but manually recreating monitors takes seconds each. Just paste the same URLs. If you exported your monitor list before the shutdown, you can use it as a checklist.
How does this compare to UptimeRobot or Better Stack?
All three offer uptime monitoring. ServiceAlert's differentiator is combining uptime monitoring with third-party status aggregation, public service-status pages, declared incidents, certificate lifecycle, and branded customer status pages in one platform. See the full comparison for a feature-by-feature matrix.
What if Freshworks offers a replacement later?
As of April 2026, Freshworks has not announced a Freshping replacement. Their focus is on Freshdesk, Freshservice, and the broader customer service suite. ServiceAlert is month-to-month with no annual lock-in, so you can switch anytime.
