Great Simple Project. Does this send SMS all over the world, or just US and/or Europe?
Probably US only. The cheapest EU prices I'm used to are normally around x5 more expensive for SMS.

#12Great product! FYI that your terms page is broken: https://popcornnotify.com/terms

#13That pricing isn't too bad for SMS messages but it is VERY high for emails. Simplicity has value but I'm not sure it has that much value.
It's basically 10x what Mailgun charges, which is pretty reasonable overhead imo. $10 to send 1,000 email notifications to your team is peanuts. People will 100% pay that.

Re: PopcornNotify – Send simple emails and text messages from one API
#20I think this is a nice idea, but I'm worried about the, let's be honest, needless single point of failure this adds to my architecture. Nothing this does ought to be more than a 100 line open source project (which is not criticism btw - if you can monetize a tiny codebase, more power to you!). But because it's SaaS, you need to depend on someone else to keep their service up and running.
Because of that simple reason, I'd only use this for optional stuff, but I struggle to think of a use case where notifications are optional.
ps. that said, this is a very attractive service to send SMS to Europe. I know of no service that undercuts $0.10 per SMS to European countries unless you buy in huge bulks.
