Where InstantPWA fits
Both platforms assume an existing native app or a push-eligible web audience. InstantPWA is upstream: a lightweight install prompt that turns website visitors into installed, home-screen (and push-eligible) users in the first place, independent of which messaging platform eventually sends the campaigns.

Do I need a native app to use these platforms?
Not necessarily for the web-push features, but their core value (native SDKs, richer in-app messaging) assumes a native app exists.
Are pricing details public?
Not fully — both generally require a quote based on audience size and channels used.
How does InstantPWA relate to these?
It solves a narrower, earlier problem (install/home-screen), and is not a substitute for either platform's messaging capabilities.
