Before you choose
Compare plans and pricing
Check whether a tool offers a free plan or a free trial before reviewing paid pricing. The list records paid-from prices when makers publish them and notes pricing on request where that is the stated model.
Courier lists a free plan with paid pricing from $0.01. Novu Notify lists a free plan with paid pricing from $30 per month.
Match the delivery platform
Check support for the platform that fits your product. Listed options include web, API, iOS, Android, extensions and self-hosted setups.
Mobile app support can matter when messages must appear inside an iOS or Android product rather than a browser experience.
Review message formats
Compare the message formats supported by a tool and check whether they fit the content you plan to send. Localization matters when messages need regional or language variations.
Check targeting and events
Behavioral targeting can shape which messages appear for a user. Event tracking can provide the activity signals used to trigger or measure in-app messages.
Compare these capabilities with the events and audience rules your product needs.
Check audience limits
Review the audience limit listed for a tool before choosing a plan. Compare that limit with the size and growth pattern of the audience you intend to reach.
