Opsgenie alternative: Uptimely vs Opsgenie
Atlassian stopped selling Opsgenie on Jun 4, 2025, and it shuts down on April 5th, 2027, when any data not moved is deleted. Atlassian's own answer is Jira Service Management, which it says will sync most of your Opsgenie data automatically, so the first honest thing to say to anyone looking for an Opsgenie alternative is that one was built for you. Uptimely is a different shape. It runs the checks itself, declares the incidents, pages whoever is on call and publishes the status page, all on one plan. It is not a hub that routes alerts from your other tools, and this page says where that matters.
Where Opsgenie and its successor are strong
Opsgenie's job is alerting and on-call for the alerts your other tools raise, and that routing layer is the part Uptimely does not have. If your pages start in Datadog, Prometheus, CloudWatch or a dozen other systems, you need something that sits between all of them and your on-call rota, and that is what Opsgenie is. Atlassian is carrying it forward rather than dropping it: Opsgenie's alerting and on-call features are now available in Jira Service Management, most data and configuration syncs across automatically on the date you pick, and Atlassian says a limited-time promotional discount may apply to soften the price difference. For a team already on Jira, that is the path with the least rework.
Where Uptimely differs
Uptimely puts the monitoring and the pager in one product. Its checks run every minute on every plan, a failing check declares an incident, and an on-call duty policy escalates through schedules, rotations, overrides and escalation rules until someone acknowledges. Status pages ride on the same plan. Free includes on-call escalation with 10 monitors and 3 members, and Pro is a flat $29/month for 25 members with unlimited monitors and status pages. The trade-off is scope. Uptimely pages only for what its own monitors detect, and there is no Opsgenie importer, so schedules and escalation policies are recreated by hand. If most of your pages come from other tools, Uptimely is not the replacement.

Opsgenie's end-of-sale date, shutdown date, data deletion, automatic sync, manual steps, data download and promotional discount are quoted from Atlassian's own migration page, read 2026-09-27: https://www.atlassian.com/software/opsgenie/migration. Jira Service Management pricing is not quoted: its pricing page renders the figures in the browser and our fetch of it returned none, so we would rather send you there than print a number we could not read. Opsgenie's notification channels are not compared because that page does not list them. Uptimely figures reflect its current plans.
Uptimely's Free plan has 10 monitors, 1 status page and 1-minute checks, with no credit card. Pro comes with a 14-day free trial.
Start free →What is the best Opsgenie alternative for a small team?
It depends on where your pages start. If they come from Datadog, Prometheus, CloudWatch or several monitoring tools at once, you need an alert-routing product: Atlassian's own Jira Service Management, Grafana Cloud IRM or PagerDuty. Uptimely is not an alert-routing hub. If what you page on is the websites and APIs you would monitor anyway, Uptimely covers the checks, the incidents, the on-call escalation and the status page on one plan, with on-call included on Free and Pro at a flat $29/month for 25 members.
When does Opsgenie shut down?
Atlassian ended sales of Opsgenie on Jun 4, 2025. Existing customers can keep using it until April 5th, 2027. After that Atlassian says Opsgenie will be shut down, the product will no longer be accessible, and any data that has not been moved will be deleted. You can still download your Opsgenie data if you choose not to move to Jira Service Management by then.
Can Uptimely import my Opsgenie schedules and escalation policies?
No. There is no Opsgenie importer, so on-call schedules, rotations, overrides and escalation policies are recreated by hand in Uptimely. Uptimely's importer converts monitors exported from Pingdom and Freshping; it does not read Opsgenie's configuration. For a large rota that is real work, and Atlassian's automatic sync into Jira Service Management is the honest shortcut.
Does Uptimely receive alerts from Datadog, Prometheus or CloudWatch like Opsgenie?
No, and this is the main thing to check before switching. Uptimely pages on-call for incidents its own monitors declare. It does not ingest alerts from other monitoring tools, and incidents created through its public API do not page on-call. It does send signed outbound webhooks and has a public REST API, so you can push its incidents elsewhere, but it cannot stand in the middle of your other tools the way Opsgenie does.
How does Uptimely page the person on call?
An on-call duty policy runs escalation rules in order and can repeat them if nobody acknowledges. Each rule notifies users, teams or on-call schedules, and schedules support layers, rotations, handoffs, restriction times and overrides. People are notified by email and web push, and by SMS and voice call where the project turns those on. Acknowledging from the dashboard, from the Slack incident card or by pressing 1 on the voice call stops the escalation. There is no app-store mobile app; phone alerts arrive as web push.
