What you give up vs Microsoft Teams
- No team chat, threading, or message history browsing; designed for one-way push alerts only.
- No rich message formatting, file sharing, or reactions.
- Rate limiting and attachment storage on the free public server are intentionally restrictive.
- iOS push requires routing through ntfy's own APNs proxy unless you self-compile the app.
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host ntfy on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Microsoft Teams: Microsoft 365 lock-in).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (Apache-2.0).
