| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. |
| Consolidation | The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2026 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended January 31, 2026, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of PagerDuty, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
|
| Fiscal Period | The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2027 refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.
|
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make, on an ongoing basis, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve the period of benefit for amortizing deferred contract costs, stock-based compensation, redemption value of redeemable non-controlling interests, estimates surrounding the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets, and estimates related to the Company’s revenue recognition, such as the assessment of performance obligations in the Company’s revenue arrangements and the fair value assigned to each performance obligation, among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
|
| Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers | Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments, and accounts receivable. All of the Company’s cash equivalents and investments are invested in money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, or U.S. Government agency securities that management believes to be of high credit quality. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale investments are spread across several different financial institutions.
|
| Segment Information | Segment Information The Company manages its operations and allocates resources as one operating segment at the consolidated level. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its chief executive officer. The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) to measure segment profit or loss, allocate resources, make operating decisions, and assess performance through monitoring and evaluation of forecast versus actual results. Further, the CODM reviews and utilizes functional expenses (cost of revenue, sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative) at the consolidated level to manage the Company’s operations. Net income (loss) is the Company’s primary measure of profit or loss. Significant expenses within net income (loss) include cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative, which each are separately presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense is also a significant expense within net income (loss). Refer to Note 12. Common Stock and Stockholders’ Equity for additional information about the Company’s stock-based compensation expense. Other segment items include interest income, interest expense, other expense, net, and provision for income taxes on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
|
| Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash The Company has classified cash that is not available for use in its operations as restricted cash. Restricted cash consists primarily of collateral for letters of credit related to security deposits for the Company’s office facility lease arrangements.

| Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversion of Convertible Debt Instruments. This ASU clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The Company adopted this ASU in the current period. This ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 requires that at each interim and annual reporting period, an entity discloses the amounts of certain expenses included in each relevant expense caption. The newly required expense disclosures include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. The amendment also requires that an entity discloses a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and discloses the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU amends the requirements for commencing capitalization of software costs related to software development projects. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

| Operating Leases | Operating Leases The Company has entered into various non-cancellable operating leases for its office spaces with lease periods expiring through fiscal 2033. The operating lease agreements generally provide for rental payments on a graduated basis and for options to renew, which could increase future minimum lease payments if exercised. Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease’s commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit rate of the Company's leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The lease right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives such as tenant improvement allowances. The Company’s operating leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs. The Company has elected a practical expedient that allows it to include non-lease components with lease payments for the purpose of calculating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, to the extent that they are fixed. Non-lease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments. Leases with a term of one year or less are not recognized on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, but rather are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In June 2023, the Company entered into a sublease for a portion of its San Francisco office location. The sublease term ended during the three months ended April 30, 2025. Sublease income, which was recorded as a reduction of rent expense, was zero for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and was not material for the three months ended April 30, 2025.
