Billing and Subscription


Flashduty On-call’s billing model is based on the number of Licenses purchased, each License corresponds to one account member.For example, if you only purchased one License, only one member can use all Flashduty On-call features. You can still invite more members to join, but only members with Licenses can configure the platform, other members cannot use any platform features (limited to receiving incident notifications).

License Allocation Methods

Administrators can actively allocate Licenses to different members. When allocating, you can set the License type:
TypeDescription
FixedValid for the purchase period, won’t be preempted, suitable for members who need to handle incidents and configure business
TemporaryAuto-released at the end of each cycle, can be occupied through allocation or preemption when sufficient Licenses are available

Members Without Licenses

  • Cannot use any features, including viewing incident list/details, can only passively receive alert messages
  • When configuring escalation rules, you can choose to notify members without Licenses
  • Members without Licenses cannot view, close, or perform other operations on incidents even if they receive messages
  • Members without Licenses share the tenant’s email, SMS, phone package quota
  • Members without Licenses will see permission denied when logging into the console to view/handle incidents
We charge by active users and offer three different editions: Free, Standard, and Business.For detailed comparison, visit: Pricing Page
  • We define active users as users who use commercial features that month; they must obtain a License to use
  • At the end of each monthly cycle, fixed Licenses held by active users remain valid, temporary Licenses are released
  • When a member is deleted, their License is automatically released
  • Viewing alerts requires a License; passively receiving notifications doesn’t require a License

Flashduty On-call strives to ensure availability of every channel:
  • Voice, SMS, Email: We use high-availability services from multiple cloud vendors, can quickly switch when one fails
  • IM App Messages: When direct message delivery fails, system uses SMS and email as fallback reminders
  • Escalation Rule Settings: We recommend setting loop notifications—if incidents aren’t acknowledged, system notifies multiple times in a loop; or set escalation levels—if current level personnel don’t handle in time, incident escalates to next level
Yes, we use fixed numbers for voice notifications. You can download the Flashduty On-call App and authorize automatic contact sync to your address book to avoid missing calls.

SMS notifications support almost all regions globally. Currently available regions include:

🇨🇳 Mainland China

🇲🇴 Macao Special Administrative Region of China

🇹🇼 Taiwan region of China

🇭🇰 Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China

If you cannot receive SMS notifications in your region, please contact us: support@flashcat.cloud
Voice calls are highly dependent on terminal signal and settings. If you persistently cannot receive voice notifications, try the following:
  1. If you’re using a phone number registered outside Mainland China, check our supported region list
  2. Check your phone’s blacklist or call records for blocking, usually landline numbers like 010xxx or 021xx; if found, remove from blacklist and whitelist
  3. If no blacklist is visible on the phone, there may be carrier-level blocking services enabled:
    • China Mobile: Check via WeChat official account “中国移动高频骚扰电话防护”
    • China Telecom: Follow official account “天翼防骚扰” to check
    • China Unicom: Follow official account “沃助理” to check, or call customer service
  4. If your number has been ported, check blocking status across multiple carriers
  5. Try restarting your phone, reinserting the SIM card, inserting the SIM into another phone to rule out terminal or SIM issues
If you still can’t find the cause, please contact us.
Try the following:
  1. Check spam folder in your email client; if found, move out manually to receive normally
  2. Check if your email client has auto-delete rules; if so, modify the rules
  3. Contact your company email administrator to check if blocked in backend (Enterprise email like Gmail has strict limits; too many emails may cause blocking). If found, whitelist the email source
If you still can’t find the cause, please contact us.
If you don’t use any of the above IM platforms, you can still leverage bot notifications. Flashduty does not validate the domain of bot webhook URLs. You can:
  1. Select any bot type (e.g., Dingtalk Bot) in the escalation rules
  2. Set the webhook URL to your own server endpoint
  3. Implement the corresponding IM platform’s message push protocol on your server (i.e., parse the request body according to that platform’s message format)
Flashduty will send alert notifications to your server using that IM platform’s message format. You can then process and forward them to any notification channel of your choice.
