Atlassian is retiring Opsgenie on April 5, 2027 — after that, the data is deleted. The official successors split the product in two (alerting into Jira Service Management, on-call into Compass), which is exactly the moment to ask what you actually used Opsgenie for.

There are two honest answers, and they lead to different tools.

#If you used the whole thing: schedules, escalations, incident timelines

You need a real incident-management platform.

• PagerDuty — the default, and priced like it. Fine for funded teams; hard to justify per-seat for small ones.
• Grafana OnCall / Grafana IRM — the open-source-rooted option; natural if you’re already in the Grafana stack.
• incident.io, FireHydrant, Rootly — the modern incident-response generation, Slack-native.

Migration pressure is real (exports, schedule rebuilds, integration rewiring), so the earlier the move, the calmer it is.

#If you mostly used it to get a loud ping when something broke

A lot of small teams and solo operators ran Opsgenie as an expensive way to make a phone buzz. If your “escalation policy” was notify me, then notify me again louder — you don’t need incident management at all. You need reliable delivery:

• Pushover — $4.99 one-time per platform, emergency priority with repeat-until-acknowledged, 14 years of just working.
• ntfy — free and open source, strongest on Android, documented weak spot on iOS.
• trigger.fyi — one curl from any script or CI, and a feed of everything sent so you can confirm what went out:

curl -d "API down: health check failed" https://trigger.fyi/$TRIGGER_FYI_SECRET_KEY

Wire it to whatever already detects problems — Uptime Kuma, cron checks, GitHub Actions, a webhook from your monitoring. The detection layer you probably have; Opsgenie was just the last mile.

#The one thing not to do

Don’t re-buy the full platform out of habit. Opsgenie’s retirement is a rare forced audit: teams that adopted it during an on-call era they’ve since outgrown can downgrade to simple, reliable alerting and pocket the difference. The refugees’ most common complaint about this category was never “too few features.”
