Squadcast

India-built mid-market alternative at fairer pricing.

By Squadcast Inc. · Founded 2017 · San Francisco, CA / Bengaluru, India · private

Squadcast is the India-built incident management alternative, founded 2017 in Bengaluru with US headquarters in SF. The product covers the full incident lifecycle, alerting, on-call, incident response, postmortems, status pages, at meaningfully lower per-user pricing than PagerDuty (typically 40-60% cheaper at equivalent feature depth). Raised a Series B in 2023 from Battery Ventures and others. Best fit for cost-conscious mid-market (100-2,000 employees) wanting a full-stack incident platform without enterprise pricing. Trade-offs: brand awareness lower outside India and APAC, integration ecosystem smaller (~200), and AI features have shipped but trail incident.io in maturity.
