# Clanker Cloud vs PagerDuty

PagerDuty is built for on-call routing, escalation, and incident coordination. Clanker Cloud is built for local-first infrastructure investigation, reviewed next actions, and cross-provider context once the incident already exists.

## Main tradeoff

PagerDuty gets the incident to the right human. Clanker Cloud helps that human understand the environment and approve the next step.

## Clanker Cloud strengths

- Live cross-provider evidence gathering after the page fires.
- Reviewed remediation plans before execution.
- Local-first trust boundary around infrastructure credentials.
- Shared human-plus-agent workspace via local MCP.

## PagerDuty strengths

- On-call schedules and escalation paths.
- Incident communication and stakeholder coordination.
- Hosted incident-management workflow and response process.
