Opsgenie Alternative
The simple Opsgenie alternative for small teams
With Atlassian winding Opsgenie down, small teams are looking for somewhere simpler to land. FlowAlert gives you on-call schedules, escalation, and acknowledged mobile alerts — without the enterprise complexity or per-seat pricing.

Why small teams are leaving Opsgenie.
Opsgenie is being discontinued — Atlassian stopped new sales on June 4, 2025 and shuts it down entirely on April 5, 2027, so teams need a new home for on-call.
It was built for large orgs: heavy setup, dense configuration, and features most small teams never touch.
Per-seat pricing adds up fast, and the enterprise incident-management bundle is overkill for a 2–10 person team.
All most teams actually need is: page the right person, escalate if they don't answer, and prove it was handled.
FlowAlert does exactly that — on-call schedules, escalation chains, and acknowledged push notifications — in minutes, free to start, with flat pricing that doesn't punish you for adding people.

Free events every month to start. No card required.
How it works
From event to acknowledged alert — the whole path, in order.
Point your monitoring, cron jobs, or any system at the FlowAlert REST API (or use the WordPress plugin)
Set who's on call and the order alerts escalate through
When an alert fires, the on-call person is paged on their phone via push notification
They acknowledge in the app — the timer stops and it's logged
If they don't respond in time, FlowAlert escalates to the next person automatically

Use cases
Solo & small dev teams
You don't need an enterprise incident platform — you need to be paged when prod breaks at 3am and to escalate if you sleep through it. FlowAlert does that for a flat fee.
Migrating off Opsgenie
Moving your on-call before Opsgenie shuts down? Point your monitors at the FlowAlert REST API, set your schedule and escalation, and you're live — no lengthy rollout.
Cron & job monitoring
Use heartbeat monitors so a silent nightly backup or sync job pages you. Opsgenie charges for this in higher tiers; FlowAlert includes it.
SMB ops, not just dev
FlowAlert routes business events too — orders, bookings, form submissions — so the same tool covers ops and on-call for a small company.
Affordable escalation
Primary doesn't answer? It rolls to the next person automatically. The accountability of an enterprise tool, at small-team pricing.
Mobile-first teams
No dedicated hardware or desktop console required — alerts land on the lock screen with sound, and acknowledgement happens right in the app.
FlowAlert vs Opsgenie
Common questions
The things people ask before connecting this — the docs cover the rest.
Atlassian stopped selling Opsgenie to new customers on June 4, 2025, and it reaches full end-of-life on April 5, 2027 — after which the Opsgenie apps and APIs stop working. It's in maintenance mode until then, with capabilities folding into other Atlassian products. For a small team, that's a good moment to move somewhere simpler and cheaper rather than migrate into a larger enterprise suite.
For small teams, yes — it covers the parts you actually use: on-call schedules, escalation, acknowledged mobile alerts, and heartbeat monitoring. It is not an enterprise incident-command platform with hundreds of native integrations and postmortem tooling. If you need that, you need an enterprise tool. If you need reliable paging without the overhead, FlowAlert is a great fit.
Anything that can send an HTTP request can trigger FlowAlert via the REST API — Prometheus Alertmanager, Grafana, UptimeRobot, CloudWatch, your own scripts, or a cron job. You POST an event; FlowAlert routes and escalates it.
Yes. You define an escalation chain; if the primary doesn't acknowledge within your time window, the alert automatically escalates to the next person.
FlowAlert includes heartbeat monitoring — point a cron or job at a check-in URL, and if the expected ping doesn't arrive in time, it fires an alert. It's a dead-man's-switch, included on every plan.
FlowAlert starts free with 1,000 events/month, and Pro is a flat $29/month — no per-seat pricing. Opsgenie was priced per user per month, which scales with headcount.
Yes — push notifications via APNs on iOS and FCM on Android, on the lock screen with sound and vibration, even when the app is closed.
Stop missing what matters.
Set up FlowAlert in under two minutes: connect a source, define your first routing rule, and the right person’s phone knows from then on.
