Freshping vs exit1.dev
Freshping is being wound down. Here's the free-forever monitor to move to.
Freshping was Freshworks' free uptime monitor — generous, with 50 monitors and 1-minute checks. But Freshworks has been winding it down, which leaves teams needing somewhere to land. exit1.dev is a free-forever monitor built by people who actually run infrastructure: all protocols, SSL, JSON validation, and a clean migration path. Here's the comparison and how to move.
Best known for: a generous free plan inside Freshworks — now being discontinued.
Freshworks has been discontinuing Freshping. If you're still relying on it, now is the time to migrate before checks stop running.
The short version
If you're still on Freshping, the decision is really 'where do I go?' exit1.dev matches the free-forever promise with 10 monitors free (or 50 on Nano at $9/mo), adds every protocol and SSL monitoring, and gives you a migration checklist so the move is painless.
