Incident Management & On-Call Software · Rank #2 of 10

incident.io

Modern AI-first incident response; fastest product velocity in category.

By incident.io Ltd. · Founded 2021 · London, UK · private

incident.io is the modern challenger that has captured the high-velocity software shop in 2024-2026. Founded 2021 by ex-Monzo engineers, raised a $62M Series C in October 2024 led by Index Ventures, and has been the fastest-growing platform in the category for two consecutive years. The product's defining characteristics: Slack-native (incidents are declared and managed in Slack with the same fluency as a normal channel), AI-driven triage and postmortem drafting (Catalog + AI-suggested actions), and product velocity that genuinely outpaces PagerDuty. On-Call (the paging product) shipped late 2023 and has matured rapidly. Trade-offs: smaller integration ecosystem (~250 vs PagerDuty 700), enterprise scale less battle-tested for >5,000-engineer organizations, and pricing not the cheapest (positioned as premium-but-fair).

Visit incident.io Vendor pricing Compare to PagerDuty
Best for

High-velocity software shops (50-5,000 engineers) who want a modern Slack-native AI-first incident workflow and are willing to pay fair-but-not-cheap pricing for product quality.

Worst for

Mega-enterprise (>10,000 engineers) needing battle-tested reliability (PagerDuty), Atlassian-anchored teams (Opsgenie/JSM bundle), or buyers who need the broadest possible integration count.

  • “We migrated 280 engineers from PagerDuty to incident.io in Q1. The Slack-native workflow alone saved us 30+ minutes per incident in coordination overhead. AI postmortem drafts are genuinely good, not the usual marketing fluff.”

    VP Engineering, Series D fintech· G2 · 2026-04-02

  • “The product ships faster than any vendor I work with. We requested three features in a customer call in November; two shipped before EOY.”
