Courier review

One notification API routes push, email, SMS, and chat with preference control.

Verdict

Our wildcard, Courier, ranks eleventh because it reframes mobile messaging as a developer notification API: one integration routes push, email, SMS, and chat with built-in user preference management and provider failover.

What customers praise

Its preference center and automatic provider failover solve the plumbing that marketing platforms treat as an afterthought.

What customers criticise

It is infrastructure, not a marketer's campaign tool, so it lacks the segmentation, journeys, and analytics a growth team expects.

Best for

Product and engineering teams that want a single API to route notifications across push, email, SMS, and Slack with per-user preferences.
