Overview
Novu is an open-source notification infrastructure platform that lets developers build and manage multi-channel notification workflows covering email, in-app, SMS, chat, and push. It offers a workflow editor, activity feed, and multi-environment setup, and can be self-hosted or used as a managed cloud service. Pricing is based on workflow runs per month, with a free tier and paid Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans.
The honest half
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Novu.
Cross-shopped
Each pairing was judged by two reviewers asking whether a buyer would genuinely weigh the two against each other. The ones that failed were deleted rather than published.

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Novu, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it.
