Novu Has a Free Notification Infrastructure — Send Emails, SMS, Push, and Chat from One API

Novu is an open-source notification infrastructure — send notifications across email, SMS, push, and chat from a single API.

What You Get for Free (Free Tier / Self-hosted)

• Multi-channel — email, SMS, push, in-app, chat (Slack, Discord)
• Template engine — drag-and-drop notification designer
• Digest — group notifications (5 likes → "You have 5 likes")
• Preferences — user notification preferences per channel
• Delay — schedule notifications for later
• Priority — critical notifications skip quiet hours
• Webhooks — delivery tracking, opens, clicks
• SDKs — Node, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, .NET
• In-app center — drop-in notification bell component

Quick Start

npm install @novu/node

import { Novu } from '@novu/node'

const novu = new Novu('YOUR_API_KEY')

await novu.trigger('welcome-email', {
  to: { subscriberId: 'user-123', email: '[e-mail]' },
  payload: { firstName: 'Alice', plan: 'Pro' },
})
// This sends to ALL channels configured in the template:
// email + push + in-app notification — one API call

Why Developers Switch from SendGrid + Twilio + Firebase

Using separate services for each channel is a nightmare:

• One API — one trigger sends to email + SMS + push + in-app
• User preferences — users choose their channels, you don't manage it
• Digest — no more notification spam
• Open source — self-host for full control

A SaaS managed 4 separate notification services (SendGrid, Twilio, FCM, custom in-app). After Novu: one API, one dashboard, one template per notification type. Integration time dropped from weeks to hours.
