For creators who broadcast. For companies who notify. Same bell.

The bell creators love
and engineers wire up.

Ding! is a channel-based broadcast layer. Creators use it to reach fans (and charge them, when they want to). Engineers wire it into their apps in five lines and skip three sprints of building inboxes, push, and read receipts. Same engine, both sides.

Free platform, always
One API key. Five lines. Live.
Monetize your channel
Inbox-grade attention. Push-grade speed.

Simple by design

Up and running in minutes

Three steps from zero to a thriving channel with paying subscribers.

1

Create your channel

Sign up and create a channel in seconds. Set it public for anyone to discover, or private with an invite key. Add your name, icon, and description.

2

Grow your audience

Share your channel link or embed a notification bell on your website. Subscribers follow via mobile app or any browser — no friction.

3

Monetize your content

Set a monthly price for premium access. Subscribers pay to unlock your premium content. You set the price, we handle billing, you get paid.

Everything you need

Built for creators who mean business

From your first broadcast to your first dollar — the tools are already here.

Rich Broadcasts

Send messages with rich text, inline images, and file attachments. Broadcast to everyone or target specific subscribers by ID.

Public & Private Channels

Public channels appear in discovery. Private channels are invite-only — share a 10-character key with your audience selectively.

Premium Subscriptions

Set a monthly price for premium access. Gate exclusive content behind a paywall. Subscribers pay you directly — you own the relationship.

Targeted Delivery

Reach the right people, not everyone. Broadcast to all subscribers, hand-pick specific users by email, or scope a message to a single Pro tier — all from one composer.

Polls

Embed polls directly in your messages. One vote per subscriber. See live results in your dashboard. Great for feedback and community decisions.

Emoji Reactions

Subscribers react to your messages with emojis. Reactions are togglable and visible in your dashboard — a quick pulse on how your content lands.

Embeddable Web Widget

One <script> tag drops a live notification bell onto any website. Visitors subscribe and receive messages in real-time.

REST API

Trigger broadcasts from your own backend. A simple POST with your API key is all it takes — no SDK, no library required.

The bell that travels with them.

Subscribers carry your channel in the Ding! mobile app — read, reply, react, and revisit, without an inbox in between. iOS and Android, free to install.

In production

What it quietly powers.

A few of the things companies wire Ding! into — instead of building each one themselves.

A SaaS app pings a customer when their export is ready.

Without building the bell icon, the inbox, or the read state. One POST; their phone lights up.

An e-commerce store dings buyers when their order ships.

Without paying per-SMS, and with reactions and replies built in — orders feel like updates from a friend, not transactional spam.

An internal tool alerts on-call when a deploy fails.

Without configuring PagerDuty for one team and one stream. Spin up a private channel, drop the API key in your CI, done.

A community platform notifies members when a thread is updated.

Without writing a service worker or running your own push pipeline. Embed the widget; subscribers get the bell wherever they read.

The notification layer you didn't have to build.

Five lines of code. An API key. A real subscriber inbox — not an opaque token list. Your users get the same Ding! app and web widget creators do, polished, for free.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Is Ding! really free to use?

Yes, completely. Creating a channel, broadcasting messages, and subscribing to channels costs nothing. The only paid element is premium channel subscriptions — a price set by the channel creator, not by us.

How do premium channels work?

Any creator can enable premium subscriptions on their channel and set a monthly price. Subscribers pay that amount to access premium-gated content. Free content on the same channel remains accessible to everyone. You can mix free and premium messages on a single channel.

How does the revenue share work?

Creators keep 85% of every premium subscription payment. We take a 15% platform fee to cover payment processing and infrastructure. There are no other fees — no monthly platform charge, no setup fee, nothing.

When and how do I get paid?

Earnings are paid out monthly to your registered payout account. You can track all incoming subscriptions, pending payouts, and payment history directly from your dashboard.

How do subscribers receive my broadcasts?

Through two channels: the Ding! mobile app (push notifications + inbox), and an embeddable web widget you can place on any website. Both update in real-time as soon as you send a message.

Can I send from my own app or backend?

Yes. Each channel gets a unique API key. A single POST request to our API sends a broadcast to all subscribers — no SDK required. See the developer docs to get started.
