ilert review
A broad incident response platform with a genuinely capable free plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ilert is an incident management platform for DevOps teams, SREs, IT administrators, and organizations operating always-on services. It brings alerting, on-call scheduling, escalation policies, incident coordination, status pages, ChatOps, call routing, integrations, and post-incident reviews into one service. Web, iOS, Android, and API access support response across operational contexts, while mobile features cover alerts, incidents, on-call schedules, and status pages. Teams that need structured incident response without immediately committing to a paid tier will find the Free plan particularly relevant.
Pricing is organized around four plans. Free costs 0 USD per account per month and supports up to 5 users, on-call management, one status page, 100 SMS and voice notifications, plus push and messenger notifications. Pro adds unlimited SMS and voice notifications, single sign-on, and unlimited viewer users. Scale adds team-based organization, event intelligence and workflows, major incident management, and AI credits, with a minimum of 3 users. Enterprise adds up to 99.99% uptime SLA, a dedicated customer success manager, and advanced security and compliance. A 14-day free trial is also available, and annual plans save 20%.
The platform’s breadth is its defining strength. Teams can connect Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Datadog, Prometheus, Amazon CloudWatch, New Relic, Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Kubernetes, and the Event API. Incident coordination includes responders, incident commanders, timelines, and parallel escalations, while status pages can be public, private, or audience-specific. AI-assisted postmortem creation adds support after resolution. Choose ilert when free access, on-call depth, and broad operational coverage matter; consider alternatives if your team needs more than 5 users on a free plan or requires advanced security and compliance without Enterprise.
