How we compiled this
Official pricing pages were re-verified via WebFetch on 2026-06-19 for knock.app/pricing, novu.co/pricing, magicbell.com/pricing, suprsend.com/pricing, and engagespot.co/pricing; all returned 200 and corroborated the prices below. Compliance pages fetched: docs.knock.app/developer-tools/security (SOC 2 Type 2 + GDPR + HIPAA stated), novu.co/security (SOC 2 Type II + ISO 27001 + GDPR + HIPAA stated), magicbell.com/security (GDPR explicitly stated; SOC 2 confirmed via secondary sources, NOT on /security; HIPAA absent). courier.com/pricing and the Courier blog returned HTTP 403 on every attempt; Courier plan data is secondary/indicative only and monthlyUsd is null for non-free tiers to avoid fabrication; Courier SOC 2 Type 2 is verifiable via its own live blog post (2022). 'starting from' prices (Novu Pro/Team) are noted as floors. Engagespot Enterprise 'starts from $2500 / custom volume' is treated as a contact-sales tier (monthlyUsd null, custom). All notification volumes are monthly; units differ by vendor (Novu = workflow runs, Engagespot = event triggers, MagicBell = per-channel deliveries). accessedAt 2026-06-19.
