Pushbullet mirrors notifications and shares links, notes, and files. Its API also sends to other users and channels and provides a realtime event stream. Free accounts have a documented limit of 500 pushes per month.
Feature comparison
What is free in PingRoom?
Create up to five private or public rooms, plus your personal room, and join up to 20 other rooms. Free includes four Quick Pings per room, every sound, custom Pings, links, shared places, one active location trigger, and one active scheduled Ping. In the iOS and Android apps the free triggers work from version 1.6; on earlier versions, a free scheduled Ping can be set up in the web app. Questions, confirmation requests, and Live Activities are free in private rooms. Free history shows the latest 100 Pings per room and your latest 100 notifications.
You can start up to 50 new Live Activities per day on either plan. Updating or finishing an existing activity does not use that allowance. Connected agents have separate daily limits.
Pro adds unlimited rooms and access to full retained history, up to 16 Quick Pings per room you own, up to 100 scheduled Pings and up to 5 location triggers in every room, incoming and outgoing webhooks, file uploads, chat mirrors, password protection, personal-room Insights, and custom QR designs.

Choose Pushbullet if…
You mainly want to mirror notifications and push links and files between your own phone and desktop.
Choose PingRoom if…
You want shared rooms, free Pings you send yourself, quick responses, live progress updates, and an MCP workflow for agents, with Pro automations when needed.
In fairness: Pushbullet provides notification mirroring and universal copy-and-paste between your own devices, which PingRoom does not.

Questions
Is PingRoom a Pushbullet alternative?
Yes, if you want shared room workflows. PingRoom Free includes custom quick actions, links, shared places, and all sounds. Private rooms also include Questions, Acks, and Live Activities you start yourself within limits. Free also includes one active location trigger and one active scheduled Ping; Pro allows up to 100 scheduled Pings and up to 5 location triggers in every room, and adds webhooks. In the iOS and Android apps the free triggers work from version 1.6; on earlier versions, a free scheduled Ping can be set up in the web app. Pushbullet supports device mirroring, contacts, channels, and its API.
Does PingRoom mirror notifications between my devices like Pushbullet?
No, that's not what PingRoom does. PingRoom is about Pinging a room of people or agents on purpose, not mirroring every notification across your own devices. If device mirroring is your core need, Pushbullet still does that.
Is PingRoom still being developed?
Yes. Mindzone maintains PingRoom, its dedicated delivery engine, and its agent platform.
