Does Airship have a free tier?

Airship does not publish a free production tier. It offers a self-service product called Airship Essentials aimed at growth-focused teams, alongside the enterprise Airship Experience Platform (AXP), which is quote-based. There is no published free monthly active user (MAU) allowance or free trial, so teams should contact Airship for specifics.

Can I use Airship and PagerDuty together?

Yes. Many teams route different message types through different providers or fail over between them. Courier lets you send through both behind a single API and switch providers without changing your code.
