Is Acciti's API compatible with Pushover's?

Close, not identical. The fields and the -2 to 2 priorities match, but Acciti takes JSON with a bearer token where Pushover takes a token form field, so each call needs a small rewrite rather than a new hostname.

How many messages does Pushover allow?

Pushover allows 10,000 messages a month per account for free, shared across its applications, and answers HTTP 429 over the limit. Pushover for Teams raises that to 25,000.

Does Acciti have an Android app?

No. Acciti runs on iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac, and as web push in a browser.

Pushover alternative: Acciti vs Pushover

Both turn one HTTP request into a notification, with the same -2 to 2 priorities and emergencies that repeat until acknowledged. Pushover is the pick if you need Android. Acciti has a free plan, and its paid plans add heartbeats for cron jobs, verified webhooks from Stripe, GitHub and Sentry, and escalation to the next person on call.

Moving from Pushover

1Sign in to Acciti, install the app on your iPhone or Mac and copy your user key.
2Create a sender token for each script or service, in place of a Pushover application token.
3Send JSON to https://acciti.com/v1/messages with the token in an Authorization: Bearer header. user, message, title, priority, sound, url, retry and expire mean what they mean in Pushover, and url_title is urlTitle.
4Keep priority 2 for the alerts that should wake you, and attach an escalation policy if someone else should hear it next.

The API documentation has every request in curl, Python, JavaScript, Swift and Go.
