SendiventvsMagicBell

In-app notification center specialist vs backend-first external channels

MagicBell gives you a drop-in in-app inbox and multichannel delivery: web push, mobile push, email, SMS (via Twilio), and Slack. It's all about the notification experience inside your product — the bell icon, the inbox drawer, real-time updates, and preference management.

Sendivent is backend-first notification infrastructure focused on external channels: email, SMS, Slack (with push on the roadmap). You emit events from your backend, we handle templates, routing, and delivery.

They're solving adjacent but different problems:

• MagicBell = "How do my users see and manage notifications inside my app?"
• Sendivent = "How do I reliably notify users and teams across external channels from my backend?"

When MagicBell is the better fit

Choose MagicBell if:

• You need an in-app notification center UI fast
• In-app + web push are your primary channels
• You want a built-in preference management UI for users
• You're happy to configure providers like Twilio for SMS and email

When Sendivent is the better fit

Choose Sendivent if:

• Email and SMS are your primary user channels
• Slack is important for team notifications
• You want a simple, event-based API wired into your backend
• You don't need to embed a full notification inbox in your product

Using both

Some teams use both: MagicBell for in-app notifications, Sendivent for external channel delivery. They solve different problems.
