PagerDuty
Industry-standard on-call + incident response — pairs with any monitor as alert receiver.
Free tier: 5 users, basic incident response
What it does well
- Industry standard with mature integrations to virtually every monitoring tool.
- Escalation policies and on-call rotations work reliably at scale.
- Free tier covers tiny teams (up to 5 users) with the core alerting features.
Where it falls short
- Pricing climbs steeply once you go past the free tier — $21/user/month base.
- Overkill for solo founders or 1-2 person teams who don't need rotation logic.
- Setup complexity: services, escalation policies, integrations require time to configure.
