FAQ
How is WebPushr scored?
WebPushr scores 2.9 out of 5 in Benchmark Grid's independent Best Push Notification Services benchmark. The overall figure blends capability (45%), publisher fit (40%) and cost of ownership (15%). Capability is itself a weighted average of 10 criteria; the heaviest are delivery speed & reliability at scale (14%), targeting & segmentation (12%) and opt-in rate optimisation (12%). Vendors cannot pay for a score.
What size publisher is WebPushr built for?
WebPushr is built for small and local publishers and mid-market publishers. That is the vendor's own stated target, and it is one of the inputs to our publisher-fit score — a platform that suits a national newsroom often carries more operational load than a small one can absorb.
What does WebPushr cost?
Free up to 10,000 subscribers; Individual $29/month up to 50k. (vendor pricing page, verified 2026-08-06) Our cost-of-ownership score is 4.7/5, which weighs pricing transparency, entry cost, implementation cost, hidden-fee risk and ongoing cost. Ask the vendor for a written first-year figure that includes implementation before you commit.
Who uses WebPushr?
We have evidenced 5 publishers running WebPushr. Adoptions are detected from site code, ads.txt records and published case studies rather than taken from the vendor's own customer list, and each one is listed on this page.
Can WebPushr pay for a better score?
No. Scores come from our editorial review of the product's documentation, demos and public evidence. A vendor can claim this listing or request a re-review, but nothing they buy changes a score or a position.
