Opsgenie support ends on April 5, 2027
Atlassian stopped new Opsgenie sales on June 4, 2025, and is moving customers to Jira Service Management or Compass. Monitero’s Opsgenie integration keeps working while you rebuild schedules and escalation in Monitero, so you can switch over without a gap in coverage. Read Atlassian’s announcement
The short version
Opsgenie is a dedicated alerting and on-call layer that routes alerts from hundreds of other tools. Atlassian has stopped selling it and is retiring it in favor of Jira Service Management and Compass. If most of your pages start with a website, API, server, or job failure, Monitero can replace both layers: the checks that detect the problem and the on-call workflow that gets it to the right person. And because Monitero is priced flat rather than per user, a 10-person rotation that costs $199.50 a month on Opsgenie Standard runs on Monitero Professional for $15.
A practical comparison
Match the tool to the problem.
| Capability | Monitero | Opsgenie |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Flat $15/month on Professional, including on-call, escalation, and 200 monitors. Not priced per responder. | Per user: $9.45 (Essentials), $19.95 (Standard), or $31.90 (Enterprise) per user per month, billed annually. Atlassian’s Jira Service Management replacement is priced per agent. |
| Where alerts come from | Monitero’s own checks: uptime, browser journeys, APIs, Shopify, servers, SSL, DNS, domains, and cron heartbeats. | Alerts ingested from hundreds of third-party monitoring, logging, and CI tools through integrations and its API. |
| On-call & escalation | On-call schedules and multi-step escalation policies; acknowledging at any step cancels the rest. Per-user quiet hours for SMS and voice. | On-call schedules, rotations, escalation policies, and routing rules. |
| Notification channels | Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks, plus SMS and voice on Professional. | Mobile app push, SMS, voice, email, and chat integrations. |
| Noise reduction | Cross-region confirmation before anyone is paged, grouped outages, dependency suppression, and maintenance windows — every suppressed alert records why. | Deduplication, filtering, and policies applied to incoming alerts. |
| Incident workflow | Incidents carry diagnosis evidence, HAR traces, timelines, notes, and responders, with status pages and post-incident RCA in the same workspace. | Incident management with stakeholder notifications and post-incident reviews. |
| Product future | Actively developed. On-call and escalation are included in the $15/month Professional plan. | End of sale June 4, 2025; end of support April 5, 2027. Capabilities are moving into Jira Service Management and Compass. |
| Best fit | Teams whose pages start with website, API, and infrastructure checks. | Teams aggregating alerts from many unrelated tools into one on-call layer. |
Choose Monitero when
Your on-call alerts mostly come from website, API, server, and job monitoring — and you would rather run one tool than two.
- Most of your Opsgenie alerts come from uptime, API, browser, server, or cron monitoring you could run in one place.
- You want on-call schedules and escalation without committing to a full Jira Service Management rollout.
- You need a replacement live well before Opsgenie support ends on April 5, 2027.
