Notification delivery
A generous pooled allowance—not a usage pricing model.
Each paid responder adds 100 SMS or voice notification attempts per month to one organization-wide pool.

=1,000pooled / month
Push, email, Slack, and webhook notifications are unlimited. Reasonable abuse-prevention safeguards may apply without changing the core per-responder pricing model.
Model production honestly
We do not charge for the shape of your infrastructure.
Service and schedule limits encourage teams to compress the systems Firewatch is supposed to model. Alert-based billing makes costs least predictable when reliability is already having a bad month.

Pricing questions
Straight answers.
Does Firewatch Cloud have a free plan?
No. Firewatch Cloud is the paid, managed service. Firewatch Community is the free, open-source version you operate on your own infrastructure.
Who counts as an on-call responder?
A person who can be placed on a schedule or escalation step. Collaborators and stakeholders who view, coordinate, or follow work do not consume a paid seat.
How does annual billing work?
Annual billing is $120 per responder per year, paid annually. That is equivalent to $10 per responder per month and saves about 17% compared with monthly billing.
What happens if we exceed the notification allowance?
The allowance is pooled across your organization to absorb normal month-to-month variation. We will publish fair, generous overage and abuse-prevention terms before paid billing begins; alert and incident counts will not become the primary pricing model.
Do you help with migrations?
Migration assistance is included with Enterprise. We may also help early Cloud customers map schedules and escalation policies from Opsgenie, Grafana OnCall, and improvised rotation systems.
