Looking for a Gravitec alternative?

Gravitec is a long-running web push service popular with publishers, with RSS-to-push, digests and tag segmentation. Its free plan has clear limits. We read Gravitec’s pricing page on Nov 12, 2026 and compared it fairly.

Where Gravitec shines

  • Publishing automations out of the box: RSS-to-push, daily and weekly digests of popular articles, Tweet-to-push.
  • Rich tag segmentation: tags by page viewed, by a bell widget’s interests, by campaign category, plus aliases for personal messages.
  • A separate-subdomain integration for site builders that can’t host a root file (with the trade-off that the subscription belongs to that subdomain).
  • An optional AI text generator add-on.

A note on iPhone

Gravitec’s FAQ (read Nov 12, 2026) says iOS devices don’t support web push. That was true before 2023; since iOS and iPadOS 16.4, Apple supports standard Web Push for sites added to the Home Screen. It’s a real constraint — visitors must add your site first — but it’s worth having if a large share of your readers are on iPhone. Pusharoo’s snippet shows iPhone visitors an Add-to-Home-Screen card and then the normal prompt (how iPhone web push works).

For publishers: RSS and digests

Pusharoo also turns an RSS or Atom feed into notifications (Dashboard → Integrations → Add a feed) — automatically, or as drafts you review. Only posts published after you add the feed are sent, at most one per check, so a backlog never floods readers. What Pusharoo doesn’t have is Gravitec’s auto-generated digest page or Tweet-to-push. Many publishers instead schedule a repeating “best of the week” campaign to a “seen in the last 14 days” segment (publisher playbook).

Switching from Gravitec

Push subscriptions are tied to the VAPID key of the service that created them, so no provider can silently copy another’s list. When you switch, visitors re-subscribe to the new service: run both for a few weeks, point your prompt at the new one, and keep sending from the old one until its list shrinks (step-by-step switching guide).

Gravitec’s FAQ describes exporting subscribers when you provide your own keys; ask Gravitec what applies to your account. If your site used Gravitec’s subdomain integration, those subscriptions belong to that subdomain and can’t move to your own domain at all — another reason to host sw.js on your own domain.

Is Pusharoo right for you?

Where Pusharoo is not the right pick: it does web push only — no native app push, email, SMS or WhatsApp — and there are no ready-made store plugins or geo-location targeting. Ecommerce triggers such as cart reminders work through events you send (Pusharoo.track() or the REST API) plus an automation, which takes a little setup. iPhone and iPad subscribers need iOS/iPadOS 16.4+ and your site added to the Home Screen — that’s Apple’s rule for every provider.
