Pagerly bundles paging with incident response, status pages, and an AI agent — powerful if you want all of it, a lot to configure if you don't. PingParrot does one job: get the right person paged, repeating until they respond.

All prices in CAD. Pagerly pricing sourced from their public pricing page (originally in USD, converted at ~1.37) and may have changed — verify at pagerly.io. "Not confirmed" rows reflect features not clearly documented on Pagerly's public site as of this writing.
Convinced? Your first 3 pagers are free forever — no credit card, no team minimum.
Start Free →Pagerly is a genuinely capable incident-management platform. PingParrot is a genuinely simple paging tool. They're not really solving the same problem.
Pagerly's pricing starts at a per-team base fee before you add a single user. PingParrot's first 3 pagers — full features, no time limit — cost nothing, ever.
No incident roles, status pages, or AI workflows to set up first. Add your team, build a schedule, and you're paging in minutes.
PingParrot's core mechanic is simple and non-negotiable: an unacknowledged page keeps repeating. No alert quietly expires because no one saw it once.
