Atlassian stopped selling OpsGenie in June 2025 and is shutting it down entirely by April 2027, folding alerting into Jira Service Management. If you'd rather not migrate twice, PingParrot is a focused, standalone on-call platform with push, email, SMS, and escalation chains built in — no Atlassian account needed, ever.
