Atlassian is migrating OpsGenie to Jira Service Management — a 2.4x price jump with a widely-hated UX. OnCallReady is the more ambitious alternative: stop routing 3am pages and start auto-resolving the incidents that cause them.
OpsGenie routes alerts to humans. OnCallReady resolves incidents before humans get involved. Here's how they compare across the dimensions that matter for on-call health.
| Capability | OnCallReady | OpsGenie Standard / Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| Alert management | ||
| Alert routing & escalation policies | ✓ | ✓ |
| On-call schedule management | — | ✓ |
| Multi-channel notification (SMS, call, Slack) | ✓ | ✓ |
| Heartbeat monitoring | — | ✓ |
| Autonomous remediation | ||
| Autonomous runbook execution | ✓ | ✗ |
| Auto-resolve without human | ✓ | ✗ |
| Incident MTTR — disk full | 28 seconds | Routes to human |
| Incident MTTR — DB connection pool | 22 seconds | Routes to human |
| Incident MTTR — SSL expiry | 19 seconds | Routes to human |
| Incident MTTR — CPU spike | 41 seconds | Routes to human |
| % incidents resolved before page | Up to 94% | 0% |
| Product status | ||
| Actively shipping features | ✓ | Maintenance mode |
| End-of-life date | None | April 5, 2027 |
| Migration support | Dedicated | Shutting down |
| Pricing (30-person team) | ||
| Standard tier | $299/mo flat | $599/mo ($19.95/user) |
| Enterprise tier | $299/mo flat | $1,155/mo ($38.50/user) |

OnCallReady runbooks auto-resolve the most common on-call triggers in under a minute. OpsGenie routes every one of these to a human — regardless of how routine the fix is.
| Incident Type | OnCallReady MTTR | Success Rate | OpsGenie outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical Disk Full | 28s avg | 98% success | Page sent — 45–90 min avg MTTR |
| Critical DB Connection Pool | 22s avg | 97% success | Page sent — 45–90 min avg MTTR |
| Medium SSL Expiry | 19s avg | 99% success | Page sent — cert gaps cause outages |
| Critical Memory Exhaustion | 34s avg | 96% success | Page sent — OOM kills services |
| Critical Service Restart | 17s avg | 99% success | Page sent — service stays down |
| High Queue Backlog | 31s avg | 95% success | Page sent — queues grow during alert |
| High Network Degradation | 38s avg | 91% success | Page sent — service degrading silently |
Atlassian's official path is Jira Service Management (JSM) Premium. But teams already in migration are reporting a rough road — and the price math is brutal.
"We moved from OpsGenie to JSM... not been fun. The entire company revolted and hated using JSM. So bad I can't even explain."

OpsGenie built a strong product. Understanding its strengths helps you evaluate what you actually need from a replacement.
OnCallReady doesn't just replace OpsGenie's routing — it makes most of that routing unnecessary. If you're resolving incidents before they reach the rotation, you don't need complex schedule management.
You have until April 5, 2027, but waiting until the last minute means a rushed migration under Atlassian's timeline. Starting now gives you a measured transition — and the upside of eliminating on-call pages while you still have both systems running.
Point one monitoring tool (Datadog, Prometheus, CloudWatch, or forward OpsGenie webhooks) at OnCallReady. Takes under 3 minutes. Leave OpsGenie running as fallback.
Identify your highest-frequency incident types. Add matching runbooks to OnCallReady. These are the incidents that will stop waking your engineers — disk full, memory exhaustion, DB pool, SSL expiry.
OnCallReady auto-resolves what it can. OpsGenie escalates the rest. Measure auto-resolution rate, build confidence, expand runbook coverage. No big-bang cutover.
Once OnCallReady is handling your primary incident classes, wind down OpsGenie. No forced migration deadline. No Atlassian timeline pressure. Migration support available on request.
From routing-to-humans to resolved-before-anyone-wakes.
