Question 1

How much does it cost to replace PagerDuty?

Accepted Answer

A custom devops & engineering tool to replace PagerDuty costs $15,000–$35,000 as a one-time build fee. That compares to $14,040/year for PagerDuty at 30 seats. Over 3 years, you save approximately $10,082 (22%).

Question 2

How long does it take to build a PagerDuty replacement?

Accepted Answer

A custom PagerDuty replacement typically takes 4-8 weeks to build and deploy. This is a Core Replacement project. We handle architecture, development, testing, deployment, and data migration from PagerDuty.

Question 3

Is a custom-built devops & engineering tool as good as PagerDuty?

Accepted Answer

Better for your needs — because it's built specifically for your workflow. Most teams use under 20% of PagerDuty's features but pay for 100%. We build the features you actually use, optimized for how your team works, without the bloat or per-seat pricing.

Question 4

What happens to my data when I leave PagerDuty?

Accepted Answer

We handle the complete data migration from PagerDuty to your new custom tool. Your data moves to your own database on your infrastructure. You maintain full ownership and control — no vendor lock-in, no data hostage situations.

Question 5

Who maintains the custom devops & engineering tool after it's built?

Accepted Answer

You have two options: our maintenance retainer ($500–$3,000/month depending on complexity) covers ongoing support, updates, and monitoring. Or your team maintains it — you own the full source code and documentation. Most clients start with our retainer.
