Pulsetic vs Freshping: the breakdown

The average website goes down for three hours per month. And a lot can happen in three hours. Lost revenue. Lost brand trust. Lost customers.

That’s why Pulsetic monitors your uptime from up to 15 locations around the world, giving you and your customers beautiful, live status updates in the language your customers read.

But there’s another reason people looking for a Freshping alternative come to Pulsetic: the functionality.

Let’s compare the two.

  • Beautiful status badges

    Beautiful status badges

    Freshping offered white labeled badges showing your live service status on any page you like.
    Pulsetic has status badges too, and you can customize yours using your brand colors, fonts, symbols, text, and backgrounds. And if you need more freedom to make it yours, you can use Custom CSS instead.

  • Beautiful status badges

    30 second uptime checks 

    Freshping checks things are OK every minute. Pulsetic can check as often as every 30 seconds, twice as fast. If you want to, you can also space out the intervals between checks.

  • The Translate screen with fields filled in Japanese

    Translation on every plan

    Freshworks has retired Freshping, and its status pages go with it, so anyone who relied on them needs a Freshping alternative. Pulsetic includes translation on every plan, the free one too: pick one of 50 languages, and labels such as “All Systems Operational” and the page’s dates switch to it. Adjust any wording you like, one language per page.

  • “The monitoring tool we've been waiting for. Super easy to set up monitoring, customizable status page design, and access to notifications across Slack, email and SMS. Pulsetic is awesome.”

Pricing: Pulsetic vs Freshping

  • Free plans

    Freshping’s free plan offered up to 5 status pages with unique URLs, until free accounts went dark in early 2026. On Pulsetic’s free plan you get three, each on a domain you own rather than a shared URL.

  • Status page branding

    As an alternative to Freshping, Pulsetic lets you customize your status pages and badges to match your brand, where Freshping meant contacting customer service. And if you’re experiencing downtime, you can also notify your status page subscribers.

  • Voice call alerts

    If you need to know what’s happening by voice call, Pulsetic is the best Freshping alternative. It includes credits for SMS and voice call alerts.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is Freshping shutting down?

    Yes, it is. Freshworks retired Freshping to concentrate on Freshdesk and Freshservice. Free accounts went dark in early 2026. Paid plans keep running until the current term ends, then stop renewing. After a short grace period your exported data is deleted for good. Freshworks never named a successor, which leaves former customers to pick a new monitoring tool themselves.

  • What is the best Freshping replacement?

    Pulsetic is the closest like-for-like swap. Like Freshping, it puts uptime monitoring and built-in status pages in one tool. You get HTTP(S), SSL, keyword, ping or ICMP, port, TCP, domain, and cron or heartbeat monitors. The part people liked best about Freshping carries over too: there is a free plan to start on, with checks every 5 minutes.

  • How do I migrate from Freshping to Pulsetic?

    There is no direct import from Freshworks, so you rebuild by hand. It goes fast. Export your Freshping configuration while you can still log in. Add the same URLs as monitors in Pulsetic, point your alert contacts and integrations at them, then publish a status page to stand in for the old one. Most teams have their checks back in well under an hour. Pulsetic's free plan lets you test the monitors, email and webhook alerts and the status page before your Freshping account closes for good.

  • Is Pulsetic a good alternative to Freshping?

    Yes. It handles the same core jobs Freshping did: watching your websites and APIs, then showing status to your users, all in one modern platform that is actively maintained. Beyond plain HTTP(S) uptime checks you get SSL, keyword, port, TCP, domain expiry, and cron or heartbeat monitoring. Status pages come with subscriber notifications and status badges. For most people leaving Freshping it reads as an upgrade, not a trade-off.

  • Does Pulsetic have a free plan like Freshping?

    Yes. There is a free plan, so you can replace your Freshping monitoring without spending anything, which counts for a lot now that Freshping is gone. Set up monitors, try the core features, and see how it fits. When you need more monitors, faster checks, or richer status page options, plans start at $9 per month.

  • What features does Pulsetic offer compared to Freshping?

    Pulsetic watches HTTP(S), SSL certificates, keywords, ping or ICMP, ports, TCP, domain expiry, and cron or heartbeat jobs. Checks can run as often as every 30 seconds. Downtime alerts go out by email, webhook and a long list of integrations, and the hosted status pages add subscriber notifications and embeddable badges. So you keep Freshping's monitoring-plus-status-page combo, and pick up check types like SSL and domain expiry that Freshping never really leaned into.

  • Can Pulsetic create status pages like Freshping did?

    Yes. Status pages ship with Pulsetic, so you can show customers live and historical uptime exactly as you did on Freshping. Visitors can subscribe and get a heads-up when an incident opens or clears, and you can drop a status badge onto your own website. One tool covers what used to be two jobs: Freshping's monitoring and its public status page.

  • Can Pulsetic monitor APIs, cron jobs, and heartbeats?

    Yes. On top of website and SSL checks, Pulsetic watches API endpoints and uses heartbeat or cron job monitoring to confirm your scheduled tasks ran when they should. The job pings Pulsetic on a regular beat. If that ping shows up late or not at all, you hear about it. That catches background tasks and APIs a plain uptime check would sail right past.
