Common questions

What is the best alternative to Pushwoosh?

On Benchmark Grid's independent scoring, iZooto is the highest-scoring alternative in Best Push Notification Services at 4.1/5, against Pushwoosh at 3.8/5. Which is right for you depends on your publication's size, revenue model and vertical.

Why would a publisher move away from Pushwoosh?

Our editors flagged: Free tier is limited and restricted to under 1,000 subscribers; A/B testing and visual campaign builder only on Marketing tier ($49/month); Custom Plan pricing not transparent for enterprise clients. Whether those matter depends on your setup — many publishers run Pushwoosh successfully despite them.

Are these alternatives ranked by paid placement?

No. Every tool here is ranked by a composite score set by SODP's editorial team across 12 criteria. Vendors cannot pay for inclusion, for a score, or for a position on this page.
