NotiFixed vs Novu

A Novu alternative that puts 19 languages on the free plan and holds no personal data

NotiFixed is a notification API for B2B SaaS: one call sends to an in-app feed, mobile push and web push, in 19 languages.

Novu is open-core notification infrastructure with email, SMS, chat, push and an in-app inbox: Pro from $30 a month, Team from $250, translations on Team. NotiFixed does push and the in-app feed only, hosted, with nothing to run or upgrade.

The cheapest plan that includes each feature
Cheapest plan with	Novu	NotiFixed
Translations	Team	Free
More than a day of activity logs	Pro	Free

Nothing to host, no names or emails to protect, every language on Free

On Novu, translations start on the Team plan at $250 a month, subscribers can carry email, phone and names, and self-hosting means running and upgrading it yourself, with the community edition limited to one team member. On NotiFixed, all 19 languages come with the free plan, we hold only your user id, a language and your labels, and there is nothing for you to host.

If each of your customers has their own app, NotiFixed for multi-tenant SaaS shows how their push ends up under their own name.

That is the whole difference. The rest of this page is detail.

Who should pick which

Pick NotiFixed if

B2B SaaS that wants push and a feed in many languages, with nothing to host.

Your users read the product in more than one language, and $250 a month for translations is too much.
You would rather not host, upgrade or migrate a notification service.
Your privacy review would rather you sent no names or emails.
Your customers expect push under their own app's icon, set up with you rather than routed by hand.

Stay with Novu if

Teams that want open source they can run themselves, with email, SMS and chat in the same workflow.

You want to read and run the code yourself.
You need email, SMS or chat alongside push and the inbox.
You want a drop-in <Inbox /> component instead of building your own.
You send under 30,000 a month and want the cheapest paid plan: Novu Pro is $30.

Switching: the words map

Novu's Node SDK reached end of support on 20 March 2025 and its notification-center package on 3 April 2025, and self-hosted v0 workflows have to be recreated by hand for v2. Its homepage now reads "Connect your AI agents and products to customers". If push and the inbox are the parts you use, moving is mostly renaming.

Novu	NotiFixed
workflow	type. One type per kind of notification. Its key is what you send.
step content	template. One row per language, instead of one template per step.
delay step	workflow. Order and timing per type, set in the console rather than on a canvas.
channel	channel. in_app for the feed, push for every device somebody is signed in on.
Inbox	feed. An inbox. Most teams keep the one you start with.
tenant context	customer. Their own Apple and Google credentials, set up with you.
subscriber	user id. Just the id you already use. No name, email or phone number.
Not in NotiFixed	Digest and throttle steps, topics, email, SMS and chat channels, a drag-and-drop builder, and self-hosting. Left out on purpose.

The order to move things in is in the switching guide.

One call

The same request as the quickstart. Your user ids, the type and its data; we write the words.

POST https://app.notifixed.com/v1/notifications

curl https://app.notifixed.com/v1/notifications \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTIFIXED_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "invoice.paid",
    "recipients": ["user_8812"],
    "payload": {
      "invoice_number": "INV-2026-0041",
      "amount": "€2,400",
      "customer_name": "Globex"
    }
  }'

In the feed: the finished sentence in each person's language, plus the raw data.
On phones: a push through your customer's own Apple or Google account, under their icon.
In browsers: a web push on every browser they have allowed.

Read the quickstart, about ten minutes from sign-up to the first notification.

Questions about
NotiFixed and Novu

Does NotiFixed store my users' emails?+

No. NotiFixed holds an id you already use, a language, and the labels you choose. No names, no email addresses, no phone numbers.

Does NotiFixed send email or SMS?+

No. Push and in-app only. If you need email, forward a NotiFixed event to Resend or Postmark.

Is NotiFixed a good Novu alternative?+

If you need push and an in-app feed in several languages, hosted, without storing names or emails, yes, and the languages come on the free plan. If you want open source you can run yourself, or email, SMS and chat in the same workflow, Novu fits better.

How do I move from Novu to NotiFixed?+

Each Novu workflow becomes a NotiFixed type, its step content becomes one row per language, and your trigger becomes one POST to /v1/notifications with the same user ids. We can move the feed and push with you in a 45-minute pairing session. Switching guide →

Can each of my customers send push under their own app icon?+

Yes, on every plan, Free included. Each customer's push goes out through their own Apple and Google credentials, so it arrives with their name and icon. We set that up with you.

What does NotiFixed cost after the free plan?+

Free covers 10,000 notifications a month. Pro is $50 a month for 250,000, or $25 a month kept forever if you join by the end of November 2026. See pricing →
