Freshping alternative · migration friendly

Freshping retired. Your uptime didn’t.

Freshworks sunset Freshping in March 2026 and tens of thousands of monitors went quiet. If yours were among them: up4 checks every 10 seconds instead of every minute, hosts in the EU, includes status pages — and a small fleet costs €3 a month.

Migration

Move in an afternoon. A short one.

Paste your URLs

Export or copy your monitor list, paste it into the batch import. Every line becomes a monitor.

Wire the alerts

Connect Slack, email, PagerDuty or nine other channels; group them into alert plans per project.

Publish the status page

Pick the monitors, choose a slug, done. Subscribers and custom domains when you want them.

Tighten the screws

Drop your critical monitors from 60 to 10 seconds. The cost preview shows the difference before you commit.

FAQ

Migration questions, answered plainly

Can I bring my Freshping monitors over?

Yes. Paste your list of URLs into the batch import and up4 creates the monitors in one step — intervals, alert channels and a status page follow in minutes. Most migrations fit inside one coffee.

Is there a free plan like Freshping had?

No — deliberately. Free monitoring is how monitoring dies; Freshping is the case study. Instead you get 15 trial days with everything unlocked and €3 of real credit, no card. After that, small fleets cost €3 a month. The pricing page shows the whole formula.

Do you have status pages?

Included on every plan, with subscriber notifications. Custom domains and SSL are included from the Team plan up — not sold as an add-on.

Where do your checks run?

On German infrastructure in the EU, from published egress IPs with an honest user agent — see where checks come from. We only offer regions we actually operate, and the region picker in the product tells you which those are.

Retire your backup plan, not your monitoring.
