+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. BackgroundSync API
+
+The [Background Synchronization API][backgroundsync-api] allows web applications to defer requests to their service worker to handle at a later time, if the device is offline.
+
+However, to use the API requires the control over a service worker from the top-level window open for the origin, which is impossible for 3rd party iframes that want to perform beaconing.
+
+Note that there are discussions ([#3], [#30]) to address PendingBeacon (or fetchLater)'s privacy requirements by reusing BackgroundSync's access permission.

+
+### 2. BackgroundFetch API
+
+The [Background Fetch API][backgroundfetch-api] provides a way for service workers to defer processing until a user is connected.
+
+Similar to [BackgroundSync API](#1-backgroundsync-api), using BackGroundFetch also requires the control over a service worker, which is impossible for 3rd party iframes that want to perform beaconing.
