Freshping alternative
Freshworks announced the end of Freshping on 5 January 2026 and switched off the free plan on 6 March 2026; the remaining data was deleted about 90 days later. If your sites have been unmonitored since then, m0nitor gives you a free plan with uptime checks, a public status page and email alerts, run by a German company.
The free plan includes 20 monitors with HTTP, HTTPS and ping checks every two minutes from up to three regions, email alerts and one public status page. No credit card and no end date.
Freshping users often relied on its public status page. m0nitor includes a hosted status page with subscribers on the free plan and your own domain from Pro.
Monitoring is the whole product, not a side tool in a larger suite. m0nitor is operated by NETARO UG (haftungsbeschränkt) and hosted in German data centres.
Freshping data cannot be exported any more, so recreate monitors by URL: paste a target, pick an interval and the first check runs within seconds. The API and MCP server help with larger lists.

Where Freshping was more generous: its free plan offered 50 monitors and one-minute checks, more than m0nitor gives for free today. If you need more than 20 monitors, the Pro plan covers 25 per project across five projects, and Scale and Business go further.
Freshworks announced the retirement on 5 January 2026. Free plan access ended on 6 March 2026, paid plans ran until the end of their subscription, and the data was deleted about 90 days after the shutdown.
Freshping no longer offers access or exports, so there is nothing left to import. Recreate the monitors by URL; for long lists, the REST API or the MCP server can create them in bulk.
Yes. The free plan has no time limit and no credit card. It is smaller than Freshping was (20 instead of 50 monitors), but it includes a public status page.
