Is anyone using something with the same functionality as pushbullet ?

Pushbullet has become a problem for me it wont send messages saying I need Pushbullet pro that costs of 40$ / month which considering I only send maybe 50 msgs /month is too much, 

Ok I know your supposed to now get 500 msg / month free but its broken, so thought I would look elsewhere.

I use Prowl with my iPhone since several years, it is working very fast and reliable. With Pushbullet I had many problems, sometimes messages did not arrive to phone (maybe because my phone is too old, it is an iPhone 4)

Gave up on Pushbullet a while back due to issues with it's clients, they really don't handle lots of messages well.

I switched to using Telegram instead. It has quite a comprehensive bot interface and handles lots of messages well. It isn't quite as quick though so messages do sometimes take a minute to come through. It is also reasonably secure. It has clients for desktop, iOS, Android and Windows Phone. It does a lot more than Pushbullet but is a little trickier to set up. There are two NR nodes supporting Telegram.

Pushover? Similar to Pushbullet.

I dumped pushbullet too, and find Pushover much better.
