Gravitec and PushPilot are both web push notification tools. Both work with WordPress and focus on web push only. But the free plans work differently, the pricing is in different currencies, and there are some real differences in how they fit into a WordPress workflow.
Here is a straight comparison so you can decide which one makes more sense for your site.
Quick overview
Gravitec
Gravitec is a web push notification platform used by over 40,000 websites. It works with WordPress, Shopify, Wix, and other platforms. It has a WordPress plugin, RSS to push, drip campaigns, segmentation, AI-generated notification text, and a REST API. Everything is managed from the Gravitec website, not from inside WordPress.
PushPilot
PushPilot is a push notification plugin built only for WordPress. Everything is managed from your WordPress dashboard. No outside login needed for day-to-day work. It uses Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for delivery and is built for WordPress site owners who want to bring readers back when new content goes live.
Free plan: what you actually get
This is where the two tools differ in an important way.
Gravitec’s free plan lets you collect unlimited subscribers but only lets you send notifications to 10,000 of them. PushPilot’s free plan is simple: 12,000 active subscribers, all of whom receive your notifications. No split, no confusion.
The “collect unlimited but notify 10,000” model sounds generous but can get confusing. You may have 30,000 subscribers in your list but only 10,000 of them will actually receive your notifications. With PushPilot, all 12,000 active subscribers get your notifications. What you see is what you get.
| Free plan | PushPilot | Gravitec |
|---|---|---|
| Subscribers notified | 12,000 active subscribers | Up to 10,000 only |
| How it works | Simple — 12K active, all notified | Collect unlimited, notify 10K |
| Time limit | No limit, free forever | No time limit |
| Notifications | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Automations | Auto push for new posts | 5 automations per day only |
| Integrations | Firebase only | No integrations on free |
| Branding | No PushPilot branding | “Powered by Gravitec” shown |
| Credit card needed | No | No |
Gravitec’s free plan also shows “Powered by Gravitec” on your site and limits automations to 5 per day. PushPilot’s free plan has no such restrictions.
iOS support
This is a straightforward difference.
Gravitec does not support iOS devices. Their own documentation states that iOS web push is not supported. This means iPhone and iPad users who visit your site cannot subscribe to your notifications through Gravitec.
PushPilot supports iOS 16.4 and above. iPhone and iPad users on a supported browser can subscribe and receive your notifications. For any WordPress site with a mobile audience in India, where a large share of readers use iPhones, this matters.
If your readers use iPhones, Gravitec will not reach them. PushPilot supports iOS 16.4 and above.
Pricing: what you pay as you grow
Gravitec pricing
Gravitec’s paid plan is called FIX. The price depends on how many subscribers you want to notify. All prices are in USD.
| Subscribers to notify | Monthly | Yearly |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 10,000 | $0 (free) | $0 (free) |
| Up to 20,000 | $24/mo | $20/mo |
| Up to 50,000 | $49/mo | $41/mo |
| Up to 100,000 | $99/mo | $82/mo |
| Up to 200,000 | $149/mo | $124/mo |
Gravitec also offers AI text generation as a paid add-on at $9.90 per month for 200 AI generations, added on top of any plan including the free one.
PushPilot pricing
PushPilot uses flat pricing in Indian Rupees. All paid plans include the same features. You only upgrade when your subscriber count grows.
| Plan | Subscribers | Monthly | Yearly (save 20%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free forever | 12,000 | Rs. 0 | Rs. 0 |
| Starter | 25,000 | Rs. 249/mo | Rs. 199/mo |
| Growth | 50,000 | Rs. 499/mo | Rs. 399/mo |
| Professional | 75,000 | Rs. 749/mo | Rs. 599/mo |
| Business | 100,000 | Rs. 999/mo | Rs. 799/mo |
Side by side cost comparison
| Subscribers | PushPilot (monthly) | Gravitec (monthly) |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 10,000 | Rs. 0 — free forever | $0 (free) |
| Up to 12,000 | Rs. 0 — free forever | $24/mo (moves to paid) |
| 25,000 | Rs. 249/mo | $24/mo |
| 50,000 | Rs. 499/mo | $49/mo |
| 75,000 | Rs. 749/mo | $99/mo |
| 100,000 | Rs. 999/mo | $99/mo |
Gravitec prices are in USD. At current rates Rs. 999 is roughly $12. Gravitec is more affordable in USD at higher subscriber counts but charges in USD only with no local payment support for Indian users.
PushPilot lets you pay in Rupees using UPI, net banking, or card. Gravitec only accepts USD payments. For Indian WordPress site owners, PushPilot is the simpler and more practical choice.
Features you pay for but will probably never use
Gravitec is built for a wide range of businesses. Some features are useful, but many are not needed by a typical WordPress publisher.
- REST API: Only available on the Business plan (custom pricing). Useful for developers, not for bloggers managing a WordPress site.
- Drip campaigns: A series of notifications sent to new subscribers over time. Useful for SaaS or e-commerce, not for content publishers.
- AI text generation add-on: An extra $9.90 per month on top of your plan. This adds to your monthly cost for a feature most publishers will rarely need.
- Multi-platform support: Gravitec works on Shopify, Wix, and others. If you only have a WordPress site, you are on a platform built for many others.
PushPilot is built only for WordPress web push. No add-ons, no extra costs, no features you will never use.
WordPress experience: inside WordPress vs outside dashboard
Gravitec connects to WordPress via a plugin, but all the actual work happens on the Gravitec website. Campaigns, analytics, segmentation, and settings are all managed from their outside dashboard. You have to keep switching between your WordPress admin and the Gravitec website.
PushPilot is built only for WordPress. Every task — sending campaigns, checking reports, managing subscribers, changing settings — is done from the PushPilot menu in your WordPress sidebar. No outside login needed for day-to-day work.
Your subscriber data: on your server vs on theirs
When someone subscribes through Gravitec on your site, their subscriber record — browser token, device info, location, and activity — is saved on Gravitec’s servers. You do not control that data directly.
- Your subscriber list is held by an outside company.
- If Gravitec changes its pricing or policies, your data is affected too.
- Moving to another tool later is not easy. Push tokens are tied to the service that created them.
With PushPilot, all subscriber data is saved in your own WordPress database on your own hosting. PushPilot does not collect or store your subscriber information.
- Your subscriber list belongs to you. No outside company holds it.
- Subscriber details never leave your server.
- GDPR compliance is simpler when data stays on your own website.
- If you stop using PushPilot, your data stays with you.
PushPilot saves your subscriber data on your own server. Gravitec saves it on theirs. If data ownership matters to you, this difference is important.

Go with PushPilot if:

- You want a clear free plan where all 12,000 active subscribers receive your notifications.
- You want to reach iPhone users — PushPilot supports iOS 16.4 and above.

Final thoughts
Gravitec is a capable platform with good features, especially if you manage multiple websites on different platforms and need automations like drip campaigns.
But if you run a single WordPress website and want a simple way to bring readers back, Gravitec’s free plan has third-party branding, a daily automation limit, no iOS support, and only notifies 10,000 out of however many subscribers you collect.
PushPilot gives you 12,000 active subscribers all receiving notifications, iOS support, no third-party branding, your data on your own server, and payment in Rupees. Everything inside WordPress, nothing extra to pay for.
If push notifications are about getting traffic back to your site, PushPilot is built for exactly that.
