FireHydrant ranks sixth with a well structured product that gets expensive as needs grow. The free plan supports up to 10 responders with 2 runbooks, the Slack and Teams chatbot, 1 public status page and 3 integrations. Pro costs $25 per responder a month billed annually and adds 5 runbooks, a retrospective template, unlimited public status pages, a service catalog, 10 custom fields and SSO. Pro also includes Signals on-call and alerting with scheduling, unlimited escalation policies and push, Slack, Teams and email notifications, while SMS and voice are bought separately and Signals is charged by the number of alerts. A Signals Migrator imports PagerDuty or Opsgenie configuration. The limits on Pro are tight for a growing team: 5 runbooks and 5 integrations, with AI summaries, private incidents, incident analytics and audit logs held for Enterprise. A 14-day Pro trial needs no credit card.
