InstantPWA vs Postscript

Shopify SMS, or a free installed-app channel?

By The InstantPWA team — Product & engineering·Last updated August 1, 2026

Postscript is built specifically for Shopify SMS marketing and list growth. InstantPWA is stack-agnostic and adds a different acquisition surface — an installable PWA with push — that carries no per-message sending cost once a visitor installs.

When to pick which

Use Postscript if you are Shopify-only and SMS list growth and automation are your priority. Use InstantPWA when you want a complementary, cost-free channel via installs and push, or run on a non-Shopify stack.
