On Android, Pushover is able to (optionally) play notification sounds for high-priority messages through the alarm channel like an alarm app would, so it can bypass the device's mute switch.

You can encrypt notifications that go through Google's FCM and Apple's APNS push notification servers. This is how Pushover works - each notification is encrypted with a device-specific key, sent through the notification servers as an encrypted blob, then the app on the device is woken up and receives the blob, decrypts it, and posts it as a normal notification.

Just to clarify, Pushover is not a "paid service" in that you need to pay for a subscription. You only have to pay once to use it past the 7-day free trial.
