In-app vs external channels
MagicBell is built around the in-app notification experience — the bell icon, the notification drawer, real-time updates.
Sendivent is built around delivering notifications to users wherever they are — email inbox, SMS, Slack.
When in-app matters
If your users live in your app and need a notification center, MagicBell provides that UI out of the box.
When external channels matter
If you need to reach users outside your app — email for receipts, SMS for alerts, Slack for team notifications — Sendivent is the better fit.
Using both
Some teams use both: MagicBell for in-app notifications, Sendivent for external channel delivery. They solve different problems.
