What is Clix and how does it work?

Clix is a developer-first push notification platform that simplifies sending, tracking, and managing mobile push notifications for iOS and Android. It works by providing a CLI tool that automatically configures Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and Apple Push Notification service (APNs), handling device token management, delivery tracking, and analytics out of the box. You can send your first push notification in under 5 minutes.

How long does it take to integrate Clix into my app?

Most developers complete Clix integration in under 5 minutes. The 'clix install' CLI command automatically configures your iOS and Android projects, including SDK installation, Firebase setup, and APNs configuration. After running the command, you only need to add a single initialization call to your app code.

Can I send push notifications based on user behavior?

Yes. Clix supports behavior-triggered notifications with a visual campaign builder. You can set up campaigns that fire based on user events (like 'added_to_cart'), inactivity periods, specific user attributes, or time-based triggers. Common use cases include cart abandonment reminders, re-engagement nudges for inactive users, and personalized content delivery based on user preferences.

What platforms and frameworks does Clix support?

Clix supports iOS (Swift/Objective-C), Android (Kotlin/Java), React Native, and Flutter. The SDK provides native implementations for each platform with consistent APIs. Setup is automated through the CLI - run 'clix install' and the appropriate SDK is configured for your project type.

How does Clix compare to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)?

Clix builds on top of FCM rather than replacing it. While FCM provides the underlying delivery infrastructure, it requires significant manual work: SDK wiring, token lifecycle management, delivery tracking, and analytics. Clix eliminates this overhead with automated setup, built-in token management, real-time delivery logs, and conversion analytics. Typical teams save 2-4 weeks of engineering time compared to a DIY FCM implementation.

What makes Clix different from OneSignal?

Clix is built for developers who want control and simplicity. Key differences: (1) CLI-first setup - one command configures your entire project vs. manual SDK integration; (2) Transparent pricing - pay per active device with unlimited notifications vs. complex tier limits; (3) Real-time delivery logs - see every notification's journey with error details vs. aggregated metrics; (4) No vendor lock-in - Clix uses standard FCM/APNs so you can migrate anytime.

How much does Clix cost?

Clix offers three plans: Free (up to 100K active devices, unlimited notifications, 7-day retention), Pro ($30/month + $0.001 per device beyond 100K, 30-day retention, advanced metrics), and Enterprise (custom pricing, unlimited retention, dedicated support). All plans include unlimited notifications and unlimited team seats.

What counts as an active device in Clix pricing?

An active device is any device that has either: (1) generated one or more events (like app open, custom events), or (2) received at least one push notification during the billing period. Devices that are registered but inactive don't count toward your limit. This means you only pay for users who are actually engaging with your app.
