on-call paging

Get woken up by the right thing.

3am turns your alerts into a phone call to whoever's on call. Press 1 to acknowledge. If they don't, it texts them, then calls the next person. No incident rooms, postmortems or AI fluff.

  1. 01

    Point your alerts at 3am.

    Send a webhook or an email from the tools you already use.

  2. 02

    Set who's on call.

    A simple rotation. No calendar to wrestle with.

  3. 03

    Go to bed.

    When something breaks, the right person's phone rings. Press 1 and it's theirs. No answer and it moves down the line.

features

Paging. Just paging.

Alerts in, from anything.

Webhooks and email in from Grafana, Datadog, Sentry, UptimeRobot and anything else that can send one.

Pages out, the loud way.

A phone call first, then SMS. Email, push, Slack, Telegram and Pushover are free.

Press 1 to acknowledge.

One key and everyone knows you've got it. No app to unlock half asleep.

Rotations without a calendar.

Pick the people and the order. 3am works out whose turn it is.

Escalation that actually escalates.

Nobody answers? It calls the next person, up to three people, so someone always picks it up.

Pay per wake-up.

One credit per alert that starts paging, however many calls and texts it takes. Add teammates for nothing, if you have any.

pricing

You pay for the wake-up, not the people.

Prepaid credits. No monthly fee, no per-seat pricing. A quiet month costs you nothing.

1 credit = 1 alert that starts paging. Every call, text and escalation for that alert is included.

Email, push, Slack, Telegram and Pushover are always free.

Credits last 12 months from your last top-up. Auto top-up is on by default, so you won't run dry at a bad moment. If you do hit zero, free channels keep going and you get a 5-alert buffer for calls and texts. Paging never silently stops.

moving from opsgenie

Opsgenie switches off on 5 April 2027. Your pager shouldn't.

Atlassian is shutting Opsgenie down. If all you used it for was getting woken up, you don't need a whole incident suite to replace it. Set up your rotation, point your alerts at your 3am webhook, and you're done before the next on-call handover.

faq

Questions.

Is this an incident management tool?

No. 3am does one job: it makes sure the right person knows something's broken. Use whatever you like for the rest.

What can send alerts to 3am?

Anything that can send a webhook or an email, including Grafana, Datadog, Sentry and UptimeRobot.

What counts as a credit?

One alert that starts paging uses one credit. The calls, texts and escalations that follow are included, and free channels never use credits.

Why no per-user pricing?

Because on-call works better when everyone's on the rota. Per-seat pricing makes you choose who gets left off. Add everyone.

What happens if I run out?

Auto top-up is on by default. If it's off and you hit zero, free channels keep working and you get a 5-alert buffer, so paging never silently stops.

Is there a free plan?

No. There's no monthly fee either. $10 gets you 40 alerts, and credits last 12 months from your last top-up.

We're on Opsgenie. How hard is it to switch?

Set up your people and rotation, then point your alerts at your 3am webhook.
