While it may work great, nothing beats using the manufacturer’s push notification channels in terms of reliability and battery consumption. At least from my experience. And that’s why Pushover is still kicking around after so many years…

Ntfy, if setup correctly, uses a web socket connection, which reduces the battery usage. I don't think I ever had it setup without that, so I can't say how bad it is. But with it, it's not a drain for me on a Pixel 7.

I use Gotify I self host it and it uses an app on my Android, super easy to set up and use. I tie in Home Assistant and a few other setups with it and it runs great.

That looks very similar to ntfy. I googled "gotify vs ntfy" and found this thread on reddit (ew, I know) https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/shw73e/difference_between_ntfy_and_gotify/

Con: User separation. A user can create "apps" (channels), and will receive messages posted there. Users will not receive messages posted to apps they didn't create. I haven't yet found a way to create shared apps, or allow multiple clients to receive notifications for a given message, and I don't want to share client logins.

Now, this thread is 3 years old, so I don't know if this is still the case, but this is a deal breaker for me. Several of the topic I have for ntfy are also subscribed by my wife, meaning we both get the notifications. I could just post the same message to two different topics, but that would be lame.
