Incident management is collaborative and AI-assisted. Phare creates incidents automatically the moment a monitor detects downtime, and Incident AI, powered by Mistral AI's open-source model, reads through the incident timeline to generate concise summaries and post-mortems for teams and stakeholders. Smart incident merging groups related failures into a single incident to prevent alert fatigue, and teams can collaborate on a chronological timeline or in Slack, then publish updates to status pages in one click.
Status pages are customizable and branded, run on your own domain, and support access control by IP, token, or password, plus RSS, Atom, and Slack subscriptions. Alerting is flexible and rate-limited to reduce spam, with an aggressive retry policy to ensure delivery during outages.
Phare is a bootstrapped European company that stores data in Europe, runs zero ad trackers, and is GDPR compliant with an A+ carbon rating. It offers a free-forever Hobby plan with unlimited team members and projects, transparent usage-based pricing from 5 euros per month, and a developer API.
