What we do: Roost is a push notification platform for websites. Roost offers a sophisticated set of features, integrations for several digital publishing and e-commerce platforms, and an analytics dashboard.
Why it's a big deal: With the emergence of mobile apps, push notifications have become the preferred method of content consumption within apps. However, desktop push notifications are too cost and resource prohibitive for publishers to integrate with their websites. Roost solves this problem by offering an affordable platform for websites to send push notifications to their users, opening up a critical avenue for audience engagement.
- 10% weekly growth since January
- 620,000 subscribers
- Plans start at $9/mo. with custom pricing for businesses
- Capable of location- and language-targeted notifications
- Integrates directly with popular CMS software
Roost Takes On Twitter, RSS With A Platform For Web-Based Push Notifications
