Where Rootly wins
Strong on-call depth at the entry tier — shadow rotations, holiday and PTO handling, coverage requests, gap detection and an on-call pay calculator are all included, and SSO and SAML are not held back for Enterprise the way most of this category does it. They also run generous startup pricing: up to 50% off under 100 employees, and "pay what you can" under 25.
