Send push messages
Deliver messages instantly to applications or users and eliminate polling in your apps.
Scale as your needs grow
Start fast with three simple APIs, and deliver an unlimited number of messages
Engage audiences directly or all-at-once
Use direct-addressing to send messages to individual devices or broadcast to multiple destinations at-once.
Use your choice of platforms
Directly access SNS using iOS, Android, Java, Python, PHP, Node.js, or .NET SDKs from AWS.
Deliver across multiple protocols
Send notifications to Apple iOS, Android and other mobile devices, and destinations like Amazon SQS queues, Lambda functions, email addresses, SMS (U.S. only), and HTTP endpoints.
Easily connect with other AWS services
Use SNS as a message bus to send messages, alarms, and notifications from your AWS services such as Amazon RDS, CloudWatch, and S3 to other AWS services such as SQS and Lambda.
Get message delivery analytics
Get delivery status information via Amazon CloudWatch on success rates, failure rates, and dwell times for mobile push messages as well as deliveries to SQS, HTTP, and Lambda destinations.
Usage-based pricing
You pay only for what you use with SNS. $0.50 per million publishes, and $0.50 per million deliveries plus associated data transfer. Learn more about pricing.
Amazon SNS is a fast, flexible, fully managed pub-sub messaging service. Use it as a cloud-based mobile app notification service to send push notifications, email, and SMS messages; or as an enterprise-messaging infrastructure.

Mobile App & User Notification Service
Send updates, promos, or news to individual users, a segment of users or all of your users with a single using Direct Messaging or SNS Topics.

Cloud-Based Enterprise Pub-Sub Messaging
Use pub-sub messaging semantics such as Topics, Publish, and Subscribe to send messages between your de-coupled cloud-based apps.
Get started with 3 API calls and avoid building or hosting a complex messaging fabric and costly license or maintenance fees.
Send individual messages to destinations or fan-out messages to large groups using Topics.
Use SNS to deliver messages from AWS services such as CloudWatch, S3, Lambda, Glacier, CloudTrail, and SES to other AWS services such as SQS, Lambda, or HTTP endpoints.
Use AWS Lambda to selectively route messages to a subset of destinations or manipulate message content before delivery.
With SNS Topics your effective cost of sending identical messages to multiple recipients is lower than sending individual messages to each recipient.
