Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 64 of the 178 other AI agents we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Cleric, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and it has to be wired into your alerting and chat tools first.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $700 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $700 per month for 1,400 credits.
- 3
You can try it first
1,000 evaluation credits after approval, with no time limit.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
Operational memory
Cleric stores service relationships, infrastructure patterns, team guidance and earlier results for use in later investigations.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 64 of 178
That is against the other AI agents we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
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.
