Where Webpushr's free tier stops
Webpushr Webpushr's free tier stops at 10,000 subscribers. Within that ceiling, the plan keeps the full feature set, unlimited websites, unlimited push notifications, unlimited in-browser messaging, unlimited team members, unlimited segments, unlimited API access, unlimited integrations, unlimited custom user attributes, real-time analytics, and website uptime monitoring. The limit is not about features missing, but about scale. Once subscriber count grows beyond 10,000, the free plan no longer fits, and the paid tiers begin at 50K subscribers for the Individual plan.

The alternatives
SuprSend
FTV 75 / 100SuprSend's free plan includes 10,000 notifications per month, unlimited channels, branching and conditions, lists and broadcasts, an in-app notification feed with branding, and unlimited team members. That makes it a broader notification orchestration tool than a pure web push product, and it stays usable for teams that want to send across multiple channels from one place. The main free-tier ceiling is volume, not features, since notifications are capped monthly. If your current problem is coordinating email, SMS, Slack, push, and web push together, this is the better fit. Switch if you want multi-channel workflows more than a subscriber-based web push tool.
- Beats Webpushr: Multi-channel notification workflows
- Falls short: It is capped at 10,000 notifications per month instead of 10,000 subscribers
- Who should switch: Switch here if you need one free system for web push plus other notification channels.
Pocket Alert
FTV 45 / 100Pocket Alert's free plan gives 50 daily messages, 1 device, 1 application, 1 webhook, and alert delivery support up to 96 hours. It is a compact alerting tool for phone-first notifications, with a web dashboard, browser extension, and CLI-oriented workflow around alerts. Compared with Webpushr, it is much narrower, but the free tier is focused on daily operational alerts rather than audience growth or marketing segmentation. The practical free value is in short, time-sensitive notifications that reset every day. If you are sending monitoring, deploy, cron, or incident alerts, it fits better than a web push marketing platform.
- Beats Webpushr: Daily operational alerting
- Falls short: It has only 50 messages per day and just 1 device, 1 application, and 1 webhook
- Who should switch: Switch here if you need small-scale alert delivery instead of subscriber-based web push marketing.
Engagespot
FTV 66 / 100Engagespot's free plan includes 10,000 event triggers per month, unlimited channels, unlimited workflows, 2-way notifications, US/EU regions, multi-tenancy, 2 environments, 2 team members, email support, 7 days of feed retention, and EU/US data centers. It is built for notification infrastructure rather than just browser push, so the free tier is useful when you need routing logic and multi-environment development. Its main advantage over Webpushr is workflow depth across channels, while its limitation is event-trigger volume rather than subscriber count. Choose it when your app needs notification orchestration and environment separation more than a web push list.
- Beats Webpushr: Workflow depth and environment support
- Falls short: It is capped at 10,000 event triggers per month and 2 team members
- Who should switch: Switch here if you need notification routing logic across channels and environments.
Resend
FTV 44 / 100Resend's free plan includes sending and receiving email, 3,000 emails per month, the RESTful API, SMTP relay, official SDKs, scheduled emails, batch sending, open tracking, link tracking, React Email, 1 custom domain, 30 days of data retention, 1 webhook endpoint, all webhook events, ticket support, 10,000 automation runs, and 5 AI credits per month. It is a strong option when email delivery is the real need, not web push. The free tier is broader on email tooling than Webpushr is on push delivery, but it has a smaller day-to-day quota and requires a different channel strategy. Switch if your messaging stack is email-first.
- Beats Webpushr: Email delivery and developer email tooling
- Falls short: It is limited to 3,000 emails per month and 100 emails per day
- Who should switch: Switch here if your use case is transactional or marketing email rather than browser push.
Novu
FTV 60 / 100Novu's free plan includes 10,000 workflow runs per month, all channels across email, in-app, SMS, chat, and push, US and EU data residency, up to 20 workflows, 2 environments, 24-hour activity feed retention, and up to 3 team members. It is built around notification workflows and gives you a structured way to manage cross-channel delivery, rather than only browser push. The free tier is especially useful when you need a development workflow with separate environments and multiple notification types. Its ceiling is workflow runs and retention, not subscribers. Pick it when you want a notification backend that spans more than one channel.
- Beats Webpushr: Cross-channel notification workflows with environments
- Falls short: It is capped at 10,000 workflow runs per month and 24-hour activity retention
- Who should switch: Switch here if you need a notification backend rather than a web push-only product.
Engage
FTV 60 / 100Engage's free plan includes 1,000 active users, 2 team members, 3 lists, 3 segments, 2 automations, push notifications, in-browser messaging, custom event tracking, automation templates, messaging API access, analytics and reporting, live chat, SDKs, and branded email and SMS campaigns. It combines customer data, segmentation, campaigns, and support in one place, so it is broader than Webpushr on customer engagement features. The free tier is held back by low active-user and automation limits, but it can be a better fit for small SaaS teams that want messaging plus CRM-style tooling. Switch if you want a customer engagement suite, not just web push.
- Beats Webpushr: Customer engagement and CRM-style tooling
- Falls short: It is capped at 1,000 active users, 3 lists, 3 segments, and 2 automations
- Who should switch: Switch here if you want messaging, segmentation, and support tools in one free product.
