What the pricing really means
At first glance, PushPress looks cheaper at $0/month vs $129/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.

Who is each product built for?
Pike13
