Freshping is shutting down. Here’s a free replacement that keeps your uptime story intact.

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 Replacement: Free Uptime Monitoring

Freshping was a solid free monitor. It’s shutting down. Your uptime still matters.

This is the replacement playbook. Keep it free. Keep it fast.

The Replacement Stack

You need three things:

  1. Uptime checks
  2. SSL expiration alerts
  3. Real‑time alerting

exit1.dev handles all three. Free.

What to Tell Your Customers

This is an opportunity. Turn it into a reliability message.

  • “We monitor every endpoint every minute.”
  • “We catch outages fast.”
  • “We prove uptime with alerts and logs.”

It’s not hype. It’s a system.

Migration Steps

  1. Export your Freshping list (URLs and alert channels).
  2. Add them to exit1.dev.
  3. Verify alerts with a test outage.
  4. Update your docs and onboarding.

Example: Alert Webhook

curl -X POST https://api.exit1.dev/webhooks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Slack","url":"https://hooks.slack.com/services/..."}'

Pricing Reality

Freshping was free. exit1.dev stays free.

If you need paid tools later, add them. Don’t pay for basic uptime.

Keyword Targets That Actually Work

Use these phrases in your own content:

  • Free Freshping alternative
  • Freshping replacement
  • Free uptime monitoring
  • 1‑minute uptime checks

You’re helping users and ranking for the same problem.

Conclusion

Freshping shutdown doesn’t have to be your outage.
