The PagerDuty alternative that doesn't charge per seat
On-call schedules, escalation policies and multi-channel alerting — billed for what you use, so you can put your whole team on-call without per-user fees.
EvoHub as a PagerDuty alternative
PagerDuty is the incumbent in incident response, and it's a capable product. But its per-user pricing means the bill grows every time you add a teammate — even people who rarely get paged. EvoHub takes the same core on-call model (rotations, escalation, multi-channel alerting) and prices it on usage instead, so cost tracks how much you actually page, not headcount.
Why teams choose EvoHub over PagerDuty
Pay per usage, not per seat
Add responders, managers and stakeholders at no per-user cost. You pay for the notifications you actually send, not for every name on the account.
The same on-call model you already know
Rotations, overrides, layered escalation policies with per-step notification methods, and alert ingestion from ~20 integrations. The concepts transfer directly.
Multi-channel alerting included
Voice, push and email out of the box (SMS coming soon), plus a mobile app to acknowledge, resolve and take over incidents from your phone.
One hub, not five subscriptions
On-call sits next to uptime monitoring, status pages, retros and kanban on one usage-based bill.

Pricing: EvoHub vs PagerDuty
| Pricing model | Details | |
|---|---|---|
| EvoHub | Usage-based (EvoHub tokens) — no per-seat fees, invite the whole team free, 200 free tokens every month. | You pay per notification — e.g. a voice call is a few cents, push and webhook alerts are free, email is a fraction of a cent. |
| PagerDuty | Per user, per month (annual) | Published plans are about $21/user/mo (Professional) and $41/user/mo (Business), billed annually (~$25 / ~$49 month-to-month), with a 5-user minimum. Status pages and AIOps are separate paid add-ons. |
A 10-person team on a per-seat plan pays for all 10 seats every month whether they're paged or not. On EvoHub those 10 people cost nothing to add — you only pay for the alerts that actually go out. For most teams that lands well under a per-seat bill.
PagerDuty figures reflect publicly listed pricing and can change — check their current plans before relying on a specific number.
Moving from PagerDuty
Rebuild your rotations and escalation policies in the schedule builder (they map 1:1), point your alert sources at EvoHub's ingestion endpoints, and invite the team. We're happy to help you move.
When PagerDuty might be the better fit
PagerDuty has a deeper integration marketplace and more enterprise-grade incident tooling (event orchestration, analytics). If you rely on those specific advanced workflows today, evaluate them against EvoHub before switching.
