Replace Courier
One API that fans a notification out to email, SMS, push and in-app inboxes.
Why teams move off Courier
A notification API needs your users, their preferences and the records being notified about — three sync problems you avoid entirely by keeping notifications in a table.
What you give up
The pre-built provider integrations, though Noticed covers most of the same ones.
This directory says so when an engine only covers part of the job. A replacement that needs a caveat is still worth knowing about — it just should not surprise you in week three.

Questions
- Is there an open-source alternative to Courier for Rails?
- Yes — Noticed. It mounts into an application you already run, so there is no second deployment and no second database.
- What do I give up by replacing Courier?
- The pre-built provider integrations, though Noticed covers most of the same ones.
- How do I replace Courier in a Rails app?
- Add noticed to your Gemfile, mount it in config/routes.rb at /noticed, and run its migrations. The whole integration is two lines and a migration.
- How much does replacing Courier save?
- Courier is priced free tier, then usage-priced. The engines here are open source, so the cost becomes the time to mount one and the resources it uses inside your existing application.
