Warrn vs incident.io
Slack-native incident response done well — then on-call roughly doubles the seat, and your second escalation policy costs an Enterprise contract. Warrn includes both in the plan.

What teams tell us about incident.io
Every claim below links to a primary source — a vendor pricing page, documentation, a published status history or an SEC filing.
- The on-call add-on roughly doubles the bill: $15 → $25/user/mo on Team, $25 → $45 on Pro.
- Source
- Escalation policies are capped at exactly one on Pro, and unavailable below it. Unlimited requires Enterprise.
- Source
- One public status page until Enterprise. A recurring G2 complaint: "The expensive Enterprise plan is needed for unlimited status pages."
- No uptime or synthetic monitoring at any tier — heartbeats only.
Where incident.io wins
The best Slack experience in the category, and the strongest migration programme — including contract buyouts. If you want the most established of the modern PagerDuty alternatives and the add-on maths does not bother you, they are the one to beat.
