Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PagerDuty at 4.8 against Silverfort's 3.4. PagerDuty also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 14) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Silverfort's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PagerDuty holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PagerDuty has 5.2K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of PagerDuty's written reviews are positive against 30% of Silverfort's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PagerDuty ships an update weekly, Silverfort monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
