Flat pricing, monitors-as-code, status pages — route on-call via PagerDuty
The Best Opsgenie Alternative for Uptime + Alerting
Looking for an Opsgenie alternative? Atlassian is sunsetting Opsgenie — end of sale June 2025, shutdown April 2027. DevHelm is not a 1:1 on-call replacement, but it gives you uptime monitoring, notification policies, status pages, and PagerDuty routing at flat pricing while you rebuild your stack.
Switch to DevHelm if you need uptime monitoring and status pages alongside alerting — and you're open to PagerDuty or JSM for on-call.
Stay with Opsgenie if you only need on-call scheduling and want to stay in the Atlassian ecosystem through Jira Service Management.

Why People Leave Opsgenie
The recurring pain points that drive teams to look for an alternative.
Opsgenie shuts down April 5, 2027
Atlassian ended new Opsgenie sales on June 4, 2025. Existing customers can continue using Opsgenie until end of support on April 5, 2027 — after that the product is inaccessible and un-migrated data is deleted. Plan upgrades and downgrades are no longer available. Atlassian's recommended migration path is Jira Service Management, not a standalone uptime tool.

Opsgenie Standard costs $19.95 per responder per month on annual billing ($24.15 monthly). A 10-engineer rotation runs roughly $200/mo for on-call alone — and you still need a separate uptime monitor for HTTP checks. DevHelm Pro is $29/mo flat for 250 monitors, 30-second checks, 2 branded status pages, and all alert channels.

Opsgenie's built-in monitoring is heartbeat-based — it checks whether integrations are alive, not whether your endpoints are up from multiple regions. Most Opsgenie customers pair it with Pingdom, Datadog, or another monitor. DevHelm bundles HTTP, DNS, TCP, ICMP, and heartbeat checks with alerting and status pages in one product.
No monitors-as-code for the next stack
Opsgenie configures alerts, schedules, and integrations through its UI and REST API. There is no official CLI, Terraform provider, or language SDK for defining your monitoring surface. DevHelm ships a 73-command CLI, Terraform provider, Python and JS/TS SDKs, and a GitHub Action on every tier including Free — so your post-Opsgenie stack is version-controlled from day one.
Migration to JSM may not match your needs
Atlassian is steering every Opsgenie customer toward Jira Service Management — a broader ITSM platform with per-agent pricing and a different workflow. Teams that only need uptime + alerting + a public status page may not want a full JSM migration. DevHelm plus PagerDuty (or another on-call tool) is a lighter rebuild path for engineering-led teams.

Not every team needs to switch. Stay with Opsgenie if:
- You only need on-call scheduling and want to stay in the Atlassian ecosystem — migrate to Jira Service Management per Atlassian's recommended path.
- You depend on native SMS, voice, and phone-call routing today — DevHelm's phone alerting is coming soon; Opsgenie has it built in with tiered allowances.
- You rely on Opsgenie's Incident Command Center, stakeholder comms, and post-incident analysis — DevHelm does not offer an equivalent war room.
- Your team is deep in Atlassian workflows (Jira, Compass, JSM) and a unified Atlassian bill matters more than flat monitoring pricing.

Switching from Opsgenie
There is no one-click Opsgenie importer in DevHelm. Migration means rebuilding monitors and alert routing in DevHelm while moving on-call schedules to PagerDuty or Jira Service Management. Run both stacks in parallel before cutting over.
Audit what Opsgenie actually does for you
Separate on-call (schedules, SMS, escalations) from monitoring (HTTP checks, heartbeats). DevHelm replaces monitoring + alert routing + status pages — not on-call rotations. Decide whether PagerDuty or Jira Service Management carries on-call after April 2027.
Define monitors in DevHelm
Recreate HTTP, DNS, TCP, and heartbeat checks as DevHelm YAML or Terraform. Map Opsgenie integration sources to DevHelm monitors — there is no automatic import.
devhelm validate -f devhelm.yml
Wire notification policies and on-call routing
Create notification policies in DevHelm for Slack, webhooks, and PagerDuty (or OpsGenie while it is still live). On-call schedules do not transfer — rebuild them in your on-call tool.
devhelm plan -f devhelm.yml && devhelm deploy -f devhelm.yml --yes
Publish a status page
If Opsgenie service status pages were your public comms surface, recreate them in DevHelm with custom domain, incident timeline, and subscriber notifications on Pro.
Run in parallel and cut over
Keep Opsgenie alert routing live while DevHelm monitors the same endpoints for 48–72 hours. Once DevHelm catches incidents reliably, disable Opsgenie integrations and complete your Atlassian migration before April 5, 2027.
