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. Checks run as often as every 30 seconds, and 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.

• 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 it all 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, move up to a paid plan. Those 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 every 30 seconds. Downtime alerts go out through a long list of integrations, and the hosted status pages come with 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 real-time and historical uptime exactly as you did on Freshping. Visitors subscribe and get a heads-up when an incident opens or clears, and you can drop a status badge onto your own site. 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.
