Why it's listed

ntfy is listed in monitoring, uptime & alerts because it competes on utility: push notifications via simple http put. It's built by an independent, bootstrapped team — no growth-at-all-costs pressure, no ad-tax passed to you. Licensed Apache-2.0/GPL-2.0; pricing: free / cheap cloud. Technically it's lean — it runs comfortably on modest hardware, which is exactly the proof-of-work efficiency we rank for. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
