Short answer: Opsgenie is being retired by Atlassian, with no new purchases since June 2025 and end of support on April 5, 2027. Pagerly is the easiest place to land, because it imports your Opsgenie schedules and runs on-call and incidents natively in Slack at flat, per-team pricing. If you want to move off Opsgenie without taking on the overhead of Jira Service Management, Pagerly is the strongest choice.
| Tool | Best for | Key strength | Status |
| Pagerly | Teams migrating off Opsgenie that live in Slack | Schedule import and automatic @oncall usergroup sync | Actively developed |
| Opsgenie | Existing Atlassian customers, short term only | Mature alerting, tight Atlassian ties | End of support April 2027 |
Opsgenie is in wind-down. Atlassian stopped selling it to new customers on June 4, 2025, and will end support on April 5, 2027, after which Opsgenie data is deleted. Atlassian directs teams to migrate to Jira Service Management or Compass. That migration can take four to sixteen weeks depending on how many integrations and rotations you run. The deadline is real, so picking a destination early reduces risk and avoids a rushed cutover later.
When you choose where to move off Opsgenie, weigh these five factors. Each is worth scoring on its own.
The destination should import your Opsgenie rotations and escalation policies so you do not rebuild them by hand. Import is the single biggest time saver in a migration.
Prefer a tool you can stand up in minutes over a multi-week ITSM project. Jira Service Management is powerful, but it brings configuration and process that simple on-call teams do not need.
If your team runs in Slack, on-call and incidents should happen there rather than in a separate console. This keeps responders focused during an outage.
The tool should sync the current on-call engineer into a Slack usergroup automatically, so a mention like @oncall always reaches the right person.
Flat, per-team pricing avoids the per-seat growth that made many teams reconsider their tooling in the first place.
Opsgenie is Atlassian's alerting and on-call tool. It remains functional until April 2027 but is no longer the right long-term platform.
Opsgenie was priced per user, per month, but is now discontinued for new customers. Existing customers should plan migration before April 2027.

Pagerly is a Slack-native on-call and incident management platform used by more than 1,000 organizations, including teams at 1Password, Disney+, Spotify, and Loom. It is built to be a direct, low-effort destination for teams leaving Opsgenie.
Pagerly uses flat, per-team pricing. The incident plan is 500 US dollars per month with unlimited incidents and users, and on-call paging is 4 US dollars per user per month. Verify current pricing on pagerly.io.
Teams leaving Opsgenie that want a Slack-native tool and predictable pricing.
The migration is designed to be quick. The typical path is a handful of steps.
Because the workflow then lives in Slack, there is no separate dashboard for engineers to learn.
Opsgenie and most alternatives charge per user, so cost grows with headcount. Pagerly is flat. Using an approximate 23 US dollars per user per month rate for a comparable per-seat tool against Pagerly at a flat 500 US dollars per month, the savings grow with team size.
| Team size | Per-seat tool (approx) | Pagerly (flat) | Annual saving |
| 20 engineers | 5,520 US dollars per year | 6,000 US dollars per year | Roughly break-even |
| 30 engineers | 8,280 US dollars per year | 6,000 US dollars per year | About 2,280 US dollars (28%) |
| 50 engineers | 13,800 US dollars per year | 6,000 US dollars per year | About 7,800 US dollars (57%) |
When does Opsgenie shut down? Atlassian ends support on April 5, 2027, and deletes data after that date.
Is Pagerly a good Opsgenie replacement? Yes. It imports Opsgenie schedules and runs on-call and incidents in Slack.
Do I have to rebuild my schedules? No. Pagerly imports your existing Opsgenie rotations.
How long does migration take? Most teams move in minutes to a few days, far less than a Jira Service Management project.
Can I run both tools during the switch? Yes. You can run Pagerly alongside Opsgenie during a short overlap before the deadline.
Does Pagerly charge per user? No. The incident plan is flat with unlimited users, with optional paging at 4 US dollars per user per month.
Is Pagerly cheaper than the Jira Service Management path? For most engineering teams, yes, because it avoids ITSM seat costs and configuration time.
Opsgenie is ending, and the clock runs out in April 2027. Pagerly is the lowest-risk place to land. It imports your existing schedules, runs on-call and incidents inside Slack, keeps your @oncall usergroup in sync automatically, and uses flat per-team pricing that does not grow with headcount. Teams at 1Password, Disney+, Spotify, and Loom already trust it. Instead of taking on the overhead of a Jira Service Management migration, you can be live in Slack in minutes. Add Pagerly to Slack for free and migrate off Opsgenie before the deadline.
