What PagerDuty does

Incident-response and on-call alerting software that notifies engineers automatically when IT systems or apps fail.

Sells subscriptions priced per user in tiers, with add-on modules for automation and AIOps charged separately; smaller customers buy online, while sales teams pursue larger enterprises on annual contracts. Revenue repeats and grows when customers add engineers or modules, and shrinks when they cut headcount.

Products and services

  • Incident response/on-call scheduling
  • AIOps automation
  • Process automation runbooks

Customers

  • Software/DevOps teams
  • Enterprise IT operations

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • IT operations software
  • Incident/alerting management
  • AIOps/automation

What could go right

  • Upsell automation/AIOps modules
  • Enterprise expansion beyond core alerting

What could go wrong

  • Competition bundled into larger observability suites
  • Slowing seat growth

Moat: narrow (switching costs, installed base). On-call workflows and integrations are deeply embedded in customers' engineering operations.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
