Freshping shut down. Teams still need shared alerts. Here’s the free path.

Free Uptime Monitor

Unlimited monitors, 1-minute checks, and the blunt breakdown of why the legacy tools feel slow. See the feature deep dive and migration checklist.

Analytics & Reports

Turn uptime data into SLAs, client reports, and long-term performance trends without bolting on another BI tool.

Smart Alerting

Ship webhook and email alerts that your team actually respects. Integrate PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Slack, or Discord without paying a premium.

Freshping Alternative for Teams (Free)

Teams used Freshping because it was simple. It’s gone. You still need shared alerts.

exit1.dev is the straight shot: unlimited monitors, 1‑minute checks, and webhooks. Free.

What Teams Actually Need

  • Shared alert channels (email, Slack, Discord)
  • Clear ownership
  • Simple setup
  • Fast checks

Fancy dashboards are optional. Alerts are not.

Team Setup in 4 Steps

  1. Create a shared account.
  2. Add your critical URLs first.
  3. Configure alerts by team.
  4. Document the playbook.

Alerting Map Example

  • Product: product@company.com
  • Platform: Slack webhook
  • Ops: Discord webhook

One incident. Everyone sees it.

SEO and Marketing Angle

You can say this on your site:

  • “1‑minute uptime monitoring.”
  • “Instant alerting to Slack.”
  • “Unlimited endpoints tracked.”

It’s simple. It’s true. It sells.
