The Freshworks ecosystem entry point vs the standalone tool.
Freshping starts at Free / part of Freshworks · StillUp starts free
Freshping has one of the most generous free tiers in uptime monitoring — 50 monitors, 1-minute checks. The catch: it's a gateway into the Freshworks platform. If you're not already a Freshworks customer, you're signing up to an ecosystem to monitor a URL.

Bottom line
If you're already a Freshworks customer, Freshping is a no-brainer add-on. If you're not, you're creating a Freshworks account just to monitor uptime — and you'll hit walls on custom domain, Discord, Telegram, and incident management. StillUp is a standalone tool with no ecosystem strings.
