SendiventvsCourier

Full-featured orchestration vs lean notifications

Courier is a full notification orchestration platform: visual workflow builder, sophisticated routing, push and in-app channels, plus enterprise options for teams that need them. They serve everyone from indie devs to enterprises.

Sendivent is intentionally leaner: clean API, per-person pricing, self-serve signup, quick setup. Built for founders and small teams who want to wire up notifications and move on.

Same problem space, different focus.

The pricing question

Both have public pricing. Courier offers a free Developer tier (10k sends/mo), a Pro tier with per-send pricing, and Enterprise for custom needs. Sendivent uses per-person pricing — simpler to predict, no spreadsheets needed.

For early-stage products, Sendivent's model is easier to budget: you pay based on people notified, not individual sends across channels.

Feature depth vs simplicity

Courier offers more features: visual workflow designer, in-app notification center, push notifications, advanced routing rules, enterprise integrations. If you need notification orchestration, they deliver.

Sendivent focuses on doing the common things well: send events, route to channels, manage notification templates. Email, SMS, and Slack today, with push on the roadmap. For most products, that's enough.

When to choose each

Choose Courier if you need complex workflow orchestration, in-app notifications, or enterprise features like SLAs and data warehouse integrations.

Choose Sendivent if you're building something new, want to integrate quickly, and prefer a focused API over a full orchestration platform.
