- Pushover seems to be the more mature app, but after a 7 day trial, it costs $5 (one time)
- Pushbullet is free (for now at least) and from my research, it does the job
- Supports alerts for posts, threads, likes, & conversations (PMs)
- You must signup on either of the two service provider's websites to get your "key"
- This option is available to all registered members
