# What is EvoHub

EvoHub brings the tools an engineering team uses around operations and communication into one place: paging and on-call, uptime monitoring, public status pages, retrospectives, task boards, documentation sites and changelogs. This page explains what each product does, how the console is organized, and how you pay for it.

## The products

| Product | What it is for |
| --- | --- |
| **On-Call** | Receive alerts from your monitoring tools, route them through escalation policies, and page the person on call by voice call, mobile push or email. Includes schedules, rotations, overrides, incidents and maintenance windows. |
| **Uptime** | Monitor websites, APIs and hosts with HTTP, keyword, TCP and ping checks, and watch scheduled jobs with heartbeat monitors. A failing monitor can page On-Call. |
| **Status Page** | Publish a public status page with components, incidents and scheduled maintenance, on your own domain, with email and feed subscriptions. |
| **Retro** | Run team retrospectives on a live board with cards, votes, comments and action items. |
| **Board** | Track work on Kanban-style boards with lists and cards, and an optional review gate. |
| **Docs** | Write and publish documentation sites like this one, with review, GitHub sync and a custom domain. |
| **Changelog** | Publish product updates as a changelog with an embeddable widget, feeds and email subscribers. |

All products share one account, one organization, one set of members and teams, and one bill.

## The EvoHub console

You use EvoHub through the console at [https://evohub.io](https://evohub.io). Sign in at [https://evohub.io/login](https://evohub.io/login).

- The top bar holds the **service switcher** (On-Call, Uptime, Retro, Status Page, Board, Docs, Changelog) and the **organization switcher**, which lists every organization you belong to.
- Each product has its own left-hand navigation.
- Your avatar menu in the top bar has three entries:
  - **My Account**: your profile (**Settings**), **Notifications**, **Authentication** (two-factor authentication and connected Google or GitHub accounts), **Active Sessions** and **API Keys**.
  - **Organization**: **Members**, **Teams** and **Invitations**. Administrators also see **Org Settings**, **Roles**, **Organization Keys**, **Login Policies** and **Audit Logs**.
  - **Usage & Billing**: what your organization has used this month and what it will cost.

What you see depends on your role. A link to a page you have no permission for is hidden, and the API refuses the request. See [Roles and permissions](https://docs-dev.evohub.io/roles-and-permissions.md).

## Organizations and teams

Everything you create in EvoHub belongs to an **organization**. When you sign up, EvoHub creates a personal organization for you, and you can create more or be invited into others. Inside an organization, **teams** group people so that schedules, monitors, boards and retros can be scoped to them and roles can be granted to them. See [Organizations and teams](https://docs-dev.evohub.io/organizations-and-teams.md).

## Mobile apps

The EvoHub mobile app is an on-call companion for iOS and Android. Use it to receive push notifications for alerts, acknowledge and resolve them, take over a shift, and see who is on call. Configuration, such as schedules, escalation policies and integrations, is done in the web console.

- App Store: [EvoHub](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/evohub/id6799893875)
- Google Play: [EvoHub](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.evohub)

## Usage-based billing

EvoHub does not charge per seat. Inviting your whole company costs nothing. You pay for what actually happens, such as voice calls placed, alerts received, uptime checks run and custom domains served. Usage is measured in **EvoHub tokens (EHU)**.

Every organization gets a free monthly allowance of EHU, and most small teams stay within or close to it. You only pay for usage above the allowance, and only after you add a card or buy credit. See [How billing works](https://docs-dev.evohub.io/how-billing-works.md) and the [pricing page](https://evohub.io/pricing).

## The API

Most things you can do in the console you can also do through the REST API at `https://evohub.io/api/v1`, authenticated with an API key. See the [API overview](https://docs-dev.evohub.io/api-overview.md).
