On-call Pricing


On-call uses a License subscription model, billed by the number of active users.

Pricing Model

Each License corresponds to one account member. Only members with a License can use all On-call features.

Resource Limits

The Free plan accepts a maximum of 100 alerts per day. Alerts exceeding this limit are silently dropped with no error returned. Upgrade to Standard or Pro for unlimited alerts.

Notification Quota

Each plan includes free notification quotas, calculated per user per month. Total quota = per-user allowance × number of Licenses.
On the Free plan, notifications stop once the quota is exhausted. On Standard and Pro plans, additional usage is billed on demand; notifications also stop if the account balance is insufficient.

License Model Explained

Unlike products such as PagerDuty that charge for every user, Flashduty uses a License (active user) billing model—only members who need to view and handle incidents require a License. Other members can receive alert notifications at no additional cost.

Who Needs a License?

Cost advantage for large teams: In practice, a 100-person engineering team typically has only 10–20 people who actively handle incidents day-to-day. The rest only need to receive notifications when relevant incidents occur. This means you may only need 10–20 Licenses instead of paying for all 100 people—reducing costs by 80%–90%.

Why the License Model?

Traditional per-user pricing (like PagerDuty) requires purchasing a seat for every user who receives notifications, which creates two problems in practice:
  1. Wasted spend: Most team members only need to receive notifications when incidents occur—they never log in to view or handle incidents—yet each still requires a full-price seat
  2. Insufficient notification coverage: To control costs, organizations often limit who receives notifications, causing critical information to miss key stakeholders
Flashduty’s License model decouples incident handling capability from notification delivery:
  • Members with a License: Full permissions to view, handle, and configure incidents
  • Members without a License: Can passively receive all alert notifications (email, SMS, voice call, IM), share the tenant’s notification quota, ensuring information reaches everyone who needs it
This approach ensures comprehensive notification coverage while significantly reducing total cost of ownership.

License Types

  • Permanently valid within the purchase period
  • Cannot be preempted
  • Administrators can grant fixed Licenses to members
  • Suitable for members who need to handle incidents and configure business settings

Permissions for Members Without License

Members without a License have limited functionality and can only passively receive alert messages.

FAQ


Members who use commercial features (viewing or handling incidents) within the month are counted as active users. Receiving alert notifications alone does not count as active usage. At the end of each monthly cycle:
  • Fixed Licenses remain valid
  • Temporary Licenses are automatically released
  • When a member is deleted, their License is automatically released
Only members who need to log in to the platform to view incident details, acknowledge, and handle incidents require a License. Members who only receive alert notifications do not need one.How to estimate: Count the core personnel in your team who participate in daily on-call and incident response, typically:
  • Frontline on-call engineers
  • Team leads involved in incident handling
  • Administrators who configure escalation rules and schedules on the platform
Real-world example: For a 100-person engineering team, typically only 10–20 people need to log in and handle incidents daily. The remaining 80–90 people only need to receive notifications when relevant incidents occur. Therefore, you only need 10–20 Licenses, saving 80%–90% compared to paying for every team member.
  • Can: Passively receive alert messages (email, SMS, voice call, IM), be referenced as notification targets in escalation rules, share tenant notification quota
  • Cannot: View/handle incidents, perform any platform configuration operations
In escalation rules, you can choose to notify members without a License about incidents, but they cannot perform any operations on the incident. This means you can include your entire team in the notification scope without purchasing a License for every person.
  • Session Analysis: Each complete session of a user visiting the application, including page views, resource loads, errors, etc.
  • Session Replay: Sessions that record user behavior for replaying user interactions
Both are billed independently based on the actual number of sessions generated.
