PushAlert
PushAlert is a web push notification platform for audiences on desktop, mobile, and tablet devices. It offers audience segmentation, automation workflows, API access, analytics, and A/B testing that compares notification variations and sends the better-performing version. Analytics cover impressions, clicks, delivery rate, CTR, and device, browser, and operating-system details. Mobile visitor notifications do not require a mobile app; web push on iPhone and iPad requires iOS 16.4 or above. The platform supports HTTP and HTTPS, including branded or custom HTTPS domains and subdomains, and lists integrations for WordPress, Joomla, WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop, and AMP. The free plan costs nothing and supports up to 3,000 subscribers. After that limit, notifications cannot be sent until upgrading. Basic costs $12 a month, or $10 a month billed annually. Premium costs $39 a month, or $33 a month billed annually; Platinum costs $69 a month, or $58 a month billed annually. PushAlert was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in India.
