PagerDuty reaches people. Squasher finds what broke.

They do different jobs. Many teams will run both, with Squasher sending incidents to PagerDuty.

PagerDuty

Pick PagerDuty when

  • You need text, phone, and mobile app paging that teams already trust.
  • You connect many tools: PagerDuty lists more than 750 integrations.
  • You need FedRAMP Low, SOC 2 Type II, or ISO 27001 from your paging vendor.
  • You want an AI agent that runs your approved automations during an incident.

Squasher

Pick Squasher when

  • You want the error, the logs, and the failing check on the incident, not only the alert.
  • You want monitors and query thresholds that open and resolve incidents themselves.
  • You want a status page on every plan, linked to the monitors.
  • You do not want to buy a seat for each person who looks at an incident.

Send incidents to PagerDuty.

Squasher opens the incident with its evidence. PagerDuty pages the person on call.

  • Trigger, acknowledge, and resolve, with the incident ID as the deduplication key.
  • Route only SEV-1 incidents to PagerDuty, and the rest to Slack.
  • PagerDuty events can open Squasher incidents too.

Example alert.

The incident knows what broke.

A monitor failure or an error burst opens the incident with the check, the logs, and the likely cause.

  • A failed check keeps its DNS, TLS, and HTTP evidence.
  • A deploy that landed shortly before is named on the incident.
  • The monitor resolves the incident when it recovers.

Questions, answered.

Is Squasher a PagerDuty alternative?

Not for paging yet. Squasher on-call is in beta and does not send text messages or phone calls, and it has no mobile app. Most teams keep PagerDuty for paging and use Squasher for the errors, logs, monitors, and incidents behind each page.

How do Squasher and PagerDuty work together?

A PagerDuty destination on a Squasher route sends trigger, acknowledge, and resolve events with the incident ID as the deduplication key. PagerDuty can also send its events into Squasher, which opens an incident for each.

How does the AI compare?

PagerDuty's SRE Agent analyzes past failures and runs your approved automations. On Professional it is an add-on; the Reliability Platform plans include it. Squasher's AI triage is on every plan, and fix pull requests are on Team and up. Checked 2026-10-20.

Does PagerDuty store my logs and errors?

Its pricing page lists events, not error, log, or trace storage. Squasher stores errors, logs, traces, and session replays, and opens incidents from them.

Is there a per-seat price in Squasher?

No. Squasher plans have no seat fees. PagerDuty Professional is priced per user, and the Reliability Platform plans include a set number of seats.
