- Watch out: scheduled agents, the Connector, Okta/SAML sign-in and the audit log are not in Team

- Not for you if you want to try it right away, because the evaluation credits need approval

Key features
Cleric
- Change verification
- Each production change, usually one per pull request, is watched for up to 14 days. If a regression appears, Cleric reports the cause and proposes a fix.
- Alert investigation
- An Issue can start from an alert, monitor or failed deploy. Cleric looks for the root cause, verifies it and proposes a fix; repeat alerts join the open Issue.
- Operational memory
- Cleric stores service relationships, infrastructure patterns, team guidance and earlier results for use in later investigations.
- Custom agents and routing
- Teams can define agents with their own instructions and send matching alerts from Slack or Microsoft Teams to them. Scheduled agents need the Pro plan.
- Slack, Teams, web and MCP
- Cleric can be used in Slack, Microsoft Teams or the web app, and from MCP clients such as Claude Code and Cursor. It can also call your own MCP servers.
Resolve AI

- Incident resolution
- Looks for the root cause of an incident, proposes mitigation and handles coordination and communications during it.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
