# Resgrid vs PagerDuty

PagerDuty is built for servers. Resgrid is built for people. When lives are on the line, not just uptime, choose the platform designed for physical response.

## The Fundamental Difference

### DevOps vs Ops

PagerDuty excels at waking up an SRE when a server crashes. But dispatching fire trucks, ambulances, and search teams requires a completely different set of tools.

### Map-Centric Dispatch

Resgrid is built around the map. See where your personnel are, where the incident is, and the best route to get there. PagerDuty is built around a timeline of log alerts.

### Personnel Logistics

Manage certifications, gear assignment, and physical shift schedules. PagerDuty only cares if you are "On Call" or not.

### Unit Management

Resgrid tracks apparatus (Trucks, Ambulances, Boats) and their specific capabilities. Essential for physical dispatch, irrelevant for IT incidents.

### Cost Savings

PagerDuty pricing starts around $21/user/month. For a 50 person department, that's over $12,000/year. Resgrid covers that same department for $499/year.
