Definitely a go to services for sending out notifications for AWS users.
The SNS is great at integration . The services is almost able to interact with all the other AWS services and able to get the notifications for them and deliver the same to the users. The Notifications are delivered to user with minimal delay .
At times there are cases were few notifications are lost when the s3 trigger event was set up to throw the notification when the file arrives.

I used SNS together with SQS to broadcast messages to several recipients.
Simple friendly API, very easy to use when you are already using the infrastructure from Amazon. Not expensive, pay as you go model. Based on pushing messages, not polling. Integrates great with Amazon SQS.
It has hard limits on the number and size of messages per second. It is difficult to decide whether to use SNS and SQS or, for example, EventBridge.

Pricing is great considering the amount of functionalities it provide. Provides nearly realtime delivery which is very important for critical time sensitive applications
Does not store messages hence it is always needed to back it up with other tools ( For example SQS). This increases the complexity of application and increases the cost

* AWS integration with other services like SQS or lambda, which help you a lot to speed up your development. * Out of the box http calls and email deliveries. I have used it extensively and the most valued feature for me is the fanout messages, i.e sending the same message to multiple consumers(sqs queues) so changes in the system can be propagated to the workload.
The biggest con I have with SNS is that there is no way to store the sent messages, making it costly and hard to implement when something goes wrong and you need to resend all the previous messages. Probably it's because its not the purpose of the tool but usually I have hit this issue when choosing SNS as an event source.

the best feature I most like about SNS is its on-time alert notification and if there is one message already there. Then the SNS queue will start and works on the First in first-out perspective.Even we can integrate mail as well as SMS for notification
for the free tier, the account is free for one million requests but after that, the pricing is hiked like a rocket. They need to work on it because many of our clients stop using it because of price issues.
