For reference, incident.io shipped 2 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 7.5 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About incident.io
incident.io's agent now runs your team's own tools, with a human approval before any change.
Investigations, the agent that posts a root-cause hypothesis when an incident opens, is the center of incident.io; it went GA and then doubled its speed in September. In October the company pushed its agent skills out into coding harnesses, then opened Nexus to customers' own tools and know-how. The 10-28 release restates that extension model and adds an explicit step: any change the agent proposes waits for a human approval before it runs.
