How does on-call scheduling work?

You create a schedule with named time windows assigned to team members. Entries can repeat on any interval such as weekly, biweekly, or any custom rotation. When a page is sent to a schedule, PingParrot automatically pages whoever is on call at that moment.

What are escalation policies?

Escalation policies define a chain of contacts to notify if a page goes unacknowledged. For example, you can page the on-call engineer first, then the team lead after 10 minutes, then the whole group after 20 minutes.

Is PingParrot a PagerDuty alternative?

Yes. PingParrot offers on-call scheduling, escalation policies, push notifications, and a REST API at a fraction of the cost, with a generous free tier that includes 3 pagers at no charge.

Does PingParrot have a mobile app?

Yes. PingParrot has native iOS and Android apps where you can receive pages, acknowledge alerts, view on-call schedules, and cover shifts directly from your phone.
