Rootly ranks second for teams that want a full incident platform with simple pricing. Incident Response and On-Call are separate products at $20 per user a month each, and Rootly states that the prices are additive, so a team running both pays $40 per user. Incident Response includes status pages, the Rootly agent, AI Scribe, AI retrospectives, workflows, a service catalog and insights, and it runs in Slack, Microsoft Teams or Google Chat. On-Call covers paging in Slack and Teams, SMS, voice and push alerts that can bypass Do Not Disturb, shadow rotations, holiday calendars, PTO and mobile shift swaps. AI SRE, priced on request, looks for the probable root cause and can draft pull requests. Every plan gets migration help from a team that imports schedules and runs both tools side by side. There is no free plan, and SCIM and audit logs need Enterprise, which keeps value below incident.io for small teams.
