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 2,324+ 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 page aggregation, brand protection, and security tools 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.
