Best for checking changes and chasing alerts for engineering teams
Cleric is an AI that verifies production changes and investigates alerts, charging in credits at $0.50 each. The cheapest plan is $700 a month, and scheduled agents, SAML sign-in and the audit log are not on it, so this is priced for companies, not individuals.
Who Cleric is for
- Fits if a team spends hours a week checking deploys and triaging alerts
- Works for companies that already chat in Slack or Teams and want answers there
Who Cleric is not for
- Pricey if you are small: nothing is listed below $700 a month
- Tight if you want one price, as credits are used per change, per issue and per chat minute
- Watch out: scheduled agents, the Connector, Okta/SAML sign-in and the audit log are not in Team
- Watch out: unused credits roll over only one month, up to twice the monthly allowance
- Not for you if you want to try it right away, because the evaluation credits need approval
Why Cleric gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyTeam is $700 a month for 1,400 credits, far above the category's $150 dearest-tenth line. Each change checked costs 2 credits and each Issue investigated costs 10.
- CFree plan and trial1,000 evaluation credits with no time limit, but only after approval, so you cannot just sign up and try it.
- CFeaturesChange checks, alert investigation, memory of past incidents and custom agents. Scheduled agents and the audit log are left off the Team plan.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and it has to be wired into your alerting and chat tools first.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with Slack, Teams, MCP and a list of eight integrations. No desktop or phone app.

Keep Cleric, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Cleric you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $8,400 a year.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. Cleric’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Cleric?
Cleric is an AI SRE service that checks each production change for regressions and investigates alerts. It reads from observability, cloud and code tools, proposes fixes for approval, and is used from Slack, Microsoft Teams, a web app or MCP clients. Billing is by credits rather than by seat.
Worth knowing
- Credits are $0.50 each: 2 per change verified, 10 per Issue investigated, and 1 per started minute of chat after the first 30 seconds.
- Monthly credits roll over for one month, up to twice the monthly allocation; annual plans use one pool for the year.
- Scheduled agents, the Cleric Connector, Okta/SAML sign-in and the audit log are not in the Team plan.
- The pricing page lists no self-serve plan below $700 per month; evaluation credits require approval.
Key features
- 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.
