Slack rotation app pricing: per workspace vs per user
Rotation apps for Slack price in three ways: per user, per team (each rotation group), or per workspace. Which is cheapest depends on how many people you have. Below are public list prices as we found them on 31 October 2026; check each vendor's page before you buy, because prices change. Dutyroll is our product, so read this as a vendor's comparison.

Our arithmetic from the list prices above, monthly billing, before tax. "Team" in Pagerly's sense may hold more than one rotation; we show the range.
What the higher prices buy
The comparison is not like for like, and that matters more than the price:
- Pagerly syncs schedules from PagerDuty and Opsgenie, updates Slack user groups, and offers real paging (phone/SMS) as an add-on.
- RosterBird manages absences and holidays, multiple assignees per shift and Slack user groups.
- Rotation App is established in the Slack Marketplace with more scheduling options.
- Dutyroll does one thing: post who is on duty, weekly, every weekday, every 2 weeks or monthly, with Skip and Swap, and away dates per person (the hand-over skips whoever is away and says so). No paging, no PagerDuty sync, no user-group sync yet, no calendar sync for absences.
If you need paging or schedule sync, the per-team and per-user tools are worth their price. If you need a visible hand-over post for several duties and don't want the bill to grow with every new hire, a flat per-workspace price is the cheaper fit.
Add to Slack Free for one rotation. Pro is $9/month per workspace.
