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. ## Good for - Engineering teams that want alerts triaged before a person is paged - Teams that merge many pull requests and want each change checked in production - Companies that prefer usage-based credits over per-seat pricing ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: D.** Team 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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** 1,000 evaluation credits with no time limit, but only after approval, so you cannot just sign up and try it. - **Features: C.** Change checks, alert investigation, memory of past incidents and custom agents. Scheduled agents and the audit log are left off the Team plan. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and it has to be wired into your alerting and chat tools first. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with Slack, Teams, MCP and a list of eight integrations. No desktop or phone app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Cleric's own pages on 13 November 2026.

It costs $8,400 a year. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
