Send Notifications Pushback lets you receive interactive notifications on your iPhone. A notification can have actions, such as buttons or a reply textbox, which allows you to interact with your servers, scripts, applications, etc., without even opening the app. Synchronous Interactions When you send a notification with our API, Pushback can keep the connection open, waiting for the user's interaction. Once they have hit a button, the response is delivered to your request, useful for quick prototypes or cron jobs. Response Callbacks Pushback can send responses from your notifications to a server via a callback URL. The responses can be customized to only send the data you are interested in. Quick Setup Install the app and use curl. That's it. Hassle free No registration required. Try it out and sign up later. Multiple Users Invite friends and coworkers to receive notications with a link.

Verdict
IFTTT.ai and PushBack Notifications both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of PushBack Notifications's written reviews are positive against 30% of IFTTT.ai's. PushBack Notifications also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 17.0). IFTTT.ai's advantage is ratings volume (60K vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
