Freshping Alternative

Freshping shut down. Your monitoring doesn't have to.

Freshping was discontinued on March 6, 2026. InternetSecure is a free uptime monitoring platform with 1-minute checks, multi-node verification that eliminates false positives, integrated security scanning, and Cloudflare-powered offline pages — things Freshping never offered.

What happened

Freshworks permanently shut down Freshping on March 6, 2026 as part of a company-wide portfolio simplification to focus on Freshdesk and Freshservice. The service that once monitored over 55,000 URLs for 20,000+ businesses is gone, with no replacement product from Freshworks.

All Freshping data will be permanently deleted on June 4, 2026. If you haven't migrated yet, now is the time.

What you get that Freshping never had

Multi-Node Consensus

Multiple global nodes must independently confirm downtime before an alert fires. No more 3 AM pages because a single check location had a network blip.

Security Scanning Built In

SSL/TLS validation, security headers (HSTS, CSP), DNSSEC, DMARC, DKIM, and compliance framework mapping — all on the same platform as your uptime monitoring.

Cloudflare Offline Pages

When your site goes down, a branded offline page is automatically deployed on your domain via Cloudflare Workers. When you recover, it's removed. No separate status page to maintain.

5-Second Alert Delivery

Alerts are dispatched in parallel across all channels — Email, Slack, JIRA, Linear, and Microsoft Teams. No queuing, no batching.

Maintenance Windows

Schedule maintenance windows per monitor with day-of-week and time range support. No false alerts during planned downtime.

Incident Timelines

Every outage gets a detailed incident record with start/end times, duration, cause, affected nodes, and recovery confirmation.

From a Freshping user

"I've just started using InternetSecure and I like the product. The interface is clean and the system seems to work very well. I switched from FreshPing."

Frequently asked questions

Why does the free plan only include 1 monitor?

Each monitor runs from 6 global nodes every 60 seconds with full multi-node consensus — that's 6 checks per minute, not one. We'd rather give you one monitor that actually works than 50 that cry wolf. The Plus plan starts at $5/month for 10 monitors if you need more.

Can I import my Freshping monitors?

Freshping lets you export your monitor configs via dashboard export or REST API — grab that before your data is deleted on June 4. There's no automated Freshping-to-InternetSecure import, but setup takes about 30 seconds per monitor. See our migration guide for step-by-step instructions.

What is multi-node consensus?

Instead of alerting when a single check fails, InternetSecure requires multiple independent nodes across different geographic locations to confirm your site is down before sending an alert. This eliminates false positives caused by network issues at a single check location.

How is the Cloudflare offline page different from a status page?

Traditional status pages live on a separate domain (like status.example.com). Our Cloudflare integration serves a branded offline page directly on your main domain via Cloudflare Workers. Visitors never leave your URL, and the page is automatically removed when your site recovers. Works on Cloudflare's free plan.

When will Freshping data be deleted?

Freshworks has stated all Freshping data will be permanently deleted approximately 90 days after the March 6, 2026 shutdown — around June 4, 2026. If you need historical data, export it from Freshping before that date.
