Pusher Beams

Hosted push notification service

Free tier + paidEmail, forms & notificationspusher.com

What it is

Managed push notification API that fans a single publish call out to both APNs and FCM. Devices subscribe to named interests, or you authenticate per-user for targeted delivery. Part of the Pusher family alongside Channels for realtime websockets, with SDKs for iOS, Android, web and Node.

Why it earns a slot

Dead simple interest model: subscribe a device to orders-42 and publish to that interest. Natural pairing if you already run Pusher Channels for realtime updates.

Know before you commit

Billing counts monthly active subscribers, so idle installed devices still consume quota. Product development is quieter than OneSignal or Novu — check recent SDK commit activity before committing.
