OneSignal

Pros

I found One Signal to be the best option for getting started with push notifications. They provide an excellent, documented SDK for almost any programming language and platform where your project is running. New features were always in place to provide more functionality, and any adjustments needed during the setup process were both easy and valuable.

Cons

For Latin American markets, using WhatsApp is necessary when communicating with your clients. It is a very competitive channel, and the users are often more oriented to be notified and contacted regarding sales and promotions through this channel. This integration is not easy to use in One Singal, even thought they are working to keep up with the competition.

Twilio

Reasons for Switching to OneSignal

While Twilio provided WhatsApp messaging, One Signal proved to be easier to implement with their REST API endpoints in a mobile application project.

Pros

the best thing that i love about one signal is their dashboard and tools, They provide flexibility for implementation of apis and reach users while they are navigating into our apps. OneSignal's dashboard help us a lot tto keep our users engaged and send them all the updates about our products.

They are getting better and better in Analytics and product insights.

Also i really like their customer support than any other platform.

Cons

One thing that annoys me is i would like to have flexibility in their languages, as our platform is multilangual so multi language will be a great thing to use also a more comprehencive API would be quite benificial for us as i may provide greater flexibility.

MoEngage

Reasons for Switching to OneSignal

OneSignal helps me track my daily users and growth. It helps to engage more users and they are helping us growing our audience. They provide a very easy way to communicate to our users and provide them updates and up sell products. They help us making revenue by engaging our customers and keep them uptodate with their in app messege and notofocation services.

Pros

Onesignal is simple and easy to use for sending push notifications.

Cons

So far, every looks okay. Thanks so much.

Pros

Onesignal has wide support to almost all kind of platforms, So if you want to use Onesignal for App/Website at the same time this is the best option because they have SDK for every platform and the detailed documentation will help you to implement is quick, They have a WordPress plugin to make your task easy if you are a blogger

Cons

They promised that it will be free for lifetime when I started using OneSignal. It was I think 2016 and since then I gained 70K subscribers then they set the limit of 3)K and then 10K so it just they offered fake promise I guess, If I move to any other platform I lose 70K users otherwise pay for it.

Pros

I believe the free service is far superior to that which any other peers provide and allows a company to use the product without commitment to paid service and not limited in time, to assess whether the paid service makes commercial sense for the company.

Cons

I have not experienced any issues with the product nor have I heard of any issues from any colleagues.

Pros

Ability to send to segments and know it will deploy. Setting / using segments is wonky with new vendor.

Cons

Our new vendor lets you enter the link and it will pull in image address, headline and blurb that you can just tweak. Much faster. Also A/B testing is easier too. Does not need some turn-on from OneSignal. Also, I could never maneuver our audience segments to adjust, combine, audit. Maybe that's across all vendors.

Pros

Using OneSignal simplify the implementation of push notifications inside a mobile app as you only need to implement one sdk and then use one API to send your push

Cons

The stats are basically useless, you need to track push performance elsewhere

It's free for our usage and works like a charm !

Pros

Setting up my account easy! Did I mention free! And easy layout of their site from my cell or laptop

Cons

I'm still rather new so at this time my only issue is the fine print. It's not there and every site has it! What's hidden? So contracts and legalities are my issue? Future issue that is

Pros

Such an easy to setup and deploy platform, very intuitive UI for previews and internal tests across multiple platforms

Cons

User and admin management access and testing permission can be a bit unclear

Pros

It's super easy to use from a copywriter's perspective. You get good and accurate previews of what'll be shown, CTA's work very well too. The setup was easy and customer support has always been fast and helpful.

Cons

Some of the configurations regarding segmentation and subscriber management aren't exactly the best or most detailed. My colleagues from IT also reported quite a few issues with API and setting up the pop-ups for acquiring subscribers to push notifications didn't always work perfectly.

Pros

ease of integration, customization options, and targeting capabilities

Cons

The delays in delivery of notifications, especially during high traffic periods.

Pros

Push notifications that work really great on web and mobile devices, clean interface with a bunch of features that easy the way we develop and they have a great support.

Cons

Every new feature for android and ios is always implemented but I think they should focus on enrich the already existent features making this great tool even greater than add some characteristics that not everyone needs.

Pros

It's really easy to set up push notifications for small projects with limited requirements. Implementation of the SDK is also well documented and done within 1-2 hours.

Cons

Recently they reduced features and push you to move to the paid plan (e.g. limited amount of segments, GDPR compliance only for paid users). This had a huge impact and pricing for apps with lots of active users get's expensive quickly.

Braze

Reasons for Switching to OneSignal

Back when we decided to use OneSignal the integration of push notifications into an app project was quite difficult. OneSignal was one of the first free solutions that reduced development time significantly.

Pros

API functionalities are awsome, we integrate Onesignal with our CMS.

Cons

I expected to have a frontend in spanish.

Pros

The most important features of one Signal that i use is push notifications and user analytics. It helps to understand notification parameters and how healthy engagement is

Cons

The firebase api key change should be made available in dashboard itself

Pros

Create user segment, add user tags, schedule notification, track number of clicks on notification. Great job

Cons

Recently they reduced number user tags for all plans. SDK is heavy. Sometimes website lags. No App available, only website.

Pros

I like the ease of setting up employee on One Signal and sending out weather notifications for the emplyees that are in the field so they have alerts through bad weather.

Cons

Have not found anything bad yet that we do not like.

Pros

I use it to send push notifications to my website visitors. Using OneSignal, I collect notifications from subscribers and send them notifications related to new posts, offers, and updates.
The best thing about this tool is that it is very easy to set up. You can customize and set it for different platforms like chrome, safari, android, ios, edge, etc. The analytics feature is also very good which allows me to view the customer journey, notification history, etc. It also supports multiple CMS like WordPress, Shopify, Blogger, Magento, Wix, Squarespace, Joomla, etc.

Cons

It should have a feature to remove inactive and duplicate subscribers.

Pros

I absolutely love this software! I use it daily and am happy to pay for then upgrade because it helps me to reach, retain, and reconnect with my site visitors without me giving it much thought. Truly set and forget.

Cons

If you can. Integrate with just a few more email providers it would be awesome!

Pros

We use OneSignal push notifications to alerts to our readers about breaking stories. OneSignal is reliable and delivers notifications within moments after we publish a story. This is important because the stories we publish impact the safety of our readers.

Cons

We have not run into any issues with OneSignal so far. The free option allows up to 30,000 web subscribers, so we’ll have to consider whether we can afford OneSignal’s paid plans after we reach that number.

Pros

Using this plugin for a while. The plugin is very useful to send push notications to our visitors about latest posts. The most beautiful thing about this is it is free.

Cons

It send one push notification on chrome. If you will publish an another post then this push notification will overwrite the previous push notification.

Pros

Best thing that I like most in Onesignal is there A/B testing by creating various segments also Its AI based delivery is amazing it improves our campaign click through rate.

Cons

By using OneSignal I did not think there is anything that I least like about it.

Pros

If you have a website with information about one topic, that all visitors will find useful, then OneSignal does everything you need. Plug it in and away you go.
If you’re a website with multiple topics or verticals then you’ll need a small amount of development, or install via Google Tag Manager to segment the users into groups for sending.
The high limit on free accounts is fantastic.

Cons

For websites with large amounts of traffic the rates are a little higher than competitors.

Pros

Very easy to use. Basic features are free of charge

Cons

Doesnt have advanced features. Unless you are a beginner, using One signal might be boring for you

Pros

The user interface is nice and can be used by non-technical candidates as well

Cons

Cost is too high as compared to other similar service providers

Pros

Ease of implementation and use. Their documentation is robust, well written, and very easy to understand, and on top of that they have video tutorials on YouTube.

They also have amazing support! I have only needed help from them once, while trying to use push notifications to update a Live Activity in iOS. I contacted them via their online chat system and got a very quick response. They stayed engaged until I had things working on my end. Brit in particular was super helpful!

I can't recommend them strongly enough.

Cons

Absolutly nothing. There is no downside to using this service.

Pros

I was able to control the Push Notifications for my web and mobile apps with OneSignal. It shows me the realtime updates and help me keeping my customers engaged with target devices. The ease of integration with push notifications is quite easy to implement.

Cons

With onesignal everything is fine for me However, If i want to send push notification to specifics users this is not possible with onesignal also if they could provide support of webhook applications it would be more fun :)

Pros

I was looking for a web push notification solution and had thought I would implement myself but the more I looked into it the more I realised this was a fairly complicated thing to do. Then I discovered OneSignal and they had done all the hard work for me. It was really simple to integrate with my website and I was able to get started for free which was great. I needed some assistance with a configuration issue and can vouch for their technical support. I was up and running with web push notifications in no time.

Cons

Honestly, I am yet to find any cons about using OneSignal for web push notifications

Pros

It is a simple software to configure, sending notifications is very fast, it makes it easy to always offer the best to our customers, we attract our customers thanks to the multiple functions that OneSignal offers, it is a very fast system, it has powerful customer segmentation, It is essential for us and for attracting new customers.

Cons

On one occasion notifications were delayed, we don't know why, but it has been a great concern for which we have not received a response. They must provide an answer to concerns that we are generally unaware of.

Pros

When I was looking for a notification solution for my app, I found OneSignal to be very easy to integrate and deploy to my stack. A quick read of the documentation allows me to have a good idea of how the API works. Furthermore, I only need to add a couple lines to have the notification service ready on my clients.

Cons

I did encounter errors with deployment and the documentation didn't cover said error. I had to search around for the solution but eventually found it.

Pros

I love being able to add an image, an explanation/blurb and have a multi lingual message shared with our school community in real time.

Cons

I feel like the topic and sub topic is redundant

Pros

OneSignal presents an effective solution for businesses and developers looking to engage their user base through push notifications, in-app messaging, and email marketing. The platform is appreciated for its ease of use, allowing even those with limited technical expertise to set up and manage campaigns. The dashboard is intuitive, providing a clear overview of campaign performance and user analytics, which is crucial for making data-driven decisions.

Cons

Customer Support: Although there's a community for support, the responsiveness and helpfulness of the official customer support have been pointed out as areas for improvement by some users.

Pros

The best thing about OneSignal is their free tier for mobile push notifications which is prertty generous

Cons

pricing for sms/email which a bit pricy compared to other platforms.

Pros

It's documentation is up to date, customer support is always very attentive and excellent. It's easy to setup for engineering teams, and intuitive to use for marketing teams.

Cons

It's self-service tiers are very limited, and it's very easy to exceed them, event thought they aren't inexpensive.

Pros

The most helpful thing is super easy integration. Huge sdk support, well documented API and message templates are upsides of OneSignal

Cons

We can only delete subscription but we want to delete devices sometimes.

Pros

The ease of use and ability to move at speed are both valued aspects for daily usage for a news organization.

Cons

It'd be nice to customize sign-up campaigns a bit more. Also, there doesn't appear to be a way to manually add people if they inadvertently opted out.

Pros

I liked most the fact that the support team is doing a really good job and overall the customer experience and handling is top notch.

Cons

OneSignal offers many solutions. So far i have no complains. :)

Pros

we are using the one signal service - mainly push notification - in our mobile app (iOS and Android) , and without any deny , it was the easiest service to implement , thanks to the well documented SDK

Cons

To be honest , I love OneSignal , there is nothing I don't like

the price , well documented

Pros

They offer a FREE access, and prices are very reasonable and affordable for a business!! A must have!

Cons

So far I have nothing to say that I like least about OneSignal.

Pros

We needed to get browser notifications up and running for an in-house support portal web-app we were developing. After a little research I quickly settled on OneSignal as the best solution. The API was well documented and easy to use. I got the integration written within a few hours, and it has worked flawlessly ever since. I especially like the ability to click on a notification and have the correct URL open up to deal with the issue / ticket. Also the ability to brand the notifications is a great feature.

Cons

At this point I really don't have any criticisms. We've only used OneSignal for browser notifications, and have not used the vast majority of features. Our notifications are pushed out to specific subscribers rather than groups. If the rest of the platform is as well written and documented as the parts we use, then I'm sure it is as pleasure to work with.

Pros

The web interface is really helpful
Once you get used to it, you can test your implementation pretty fast. The Android implementation was also straightforward, only needed a few lines of code.

Cons

No way to attach a logger to extract all the info.
I had to implement OneSignal in my app and had a problem; but was only reproducible on my client's phone: I had no way to attach a logger and save them, let's say to a file

Pros

It is easy to use and the support is super if you need help

Cons

That they not have the opportunity to have a pop-up on mobile and tablet there can tell the users that they can get a push messages

Pros

easy to setup and implement in different platform

Cons

the tracking not so clear in the dashboard

Pros

OneSignal is a remarkable notification platform that has truly impressed me with its outstanding features and capabilities. As a business owner, I've been using OneSignal for quite some time, and I must say, it has become an invaluable tool for my marketing efforts.What I liked most about OneSignal is its versatility and ease of use. The platform offers a wide range of notification types, including web push notifications, mobile push notifications, and email notifications, allowing me to reach my users across different devices and platforms. The intuitive interface makes it a breeze to set up and customize notifications according to my brand's style and preferences.OneSignal also provides advanced targeting options, allowing me to segment my audience based on various criteria such as location, language, interests, and more. This helps me deliver highly relevant and personalized notifications to my users, resulting in better engagement and retention rates.Another standout feature of OneSignal is its automation capabilities. The platform supports automated notifications triggered by events such as user actions, time-based triggers, and RSS feeds. This has saved me a lot of time and effort in manual notification management, allowing me to focus on other important aspects of my business.Furthermore, OneSignal offers comprehensive analytics and reporting tools that provide valuable insights into the performance of my notifications. I can track open rates, click-through rat

Cons

OneSignal is a feature-rich and powerful notification platform that has helped me streamline my marketing efforts. However, there are a few areas where I found room for improvement.One thing I liked least about OneSignal is the pricing structure. While the platform offers a free plan with basic features, some of the more advanced features, such as custom branding and advanced targeting options, are only available in the paid plans. As a small business owner, I found the pricing to be slightly on the higher side, especially when compared to other similar platforms in the market.Another drawback I encountered is the lack of a built-in A/B testing feature. A/B testing is an essential part of optimizing notification campaigns, and I found it inconvenient to manually set up separate notifications for testing purposes. It would have been more convenient if OneSignal had a dedicated A/B testing feature to help me easily test and optimize my notifications.Additionally, while the interface is generally user-friendly, I found some parts of the platform to be a bit complex, especially when setting up advanced targeting options. It required a bit of trial and error to fully understand and utilize these features effectively. Some additional documentation or tutorials on these advanced features would be helpful for users who are new to notification marketing.Lastly, I noticed that the reporting and analytics features could be more detailed. While OneSignal provides basic analytics,

Pros

The feature we liked the most was their Push Notification service, it was super easy to integrate within our system thanks to their APIs, SDK and their good documentation.

Cons

I think their tier system should be more flexible to include more features.

Pros

OneSignal is the best pushy notification service for Android and IOS apps. I used to integrate FCM in my projects but most of the times, the notifications weren't delivered. When switching to OneSignal, I discovered reliability and cost effectiveness.

Cons

They dashboard experience can be improved a bit. The dashboard is quite complex and on using for the first time, it seemed too complicated for me.

Pros

I feel it is easy to use. I like to be able to add graphics to my messages and schedule them to go first thing in the morning or middle of the evening. I also like to see the fail rate.

Cons

Sometimes it is tricky to create and get new segments uploaded.

Pros

The Onesignal app is used to send small or push notifications to mobile, email, or the web; this is useful software in the company. I think, because of its marketing purpose, it is excellent. We also try this, which gives us perfect marking options like email marketing and some app marketing; with this, we send some additional information to the user for using our app or site and make more interest in our service. It is basically API based, so we start with a trial version, and I think it is perfect to create our new site or app marking with the help OneSignal. I recommend it

Cons

I think our company is significantly related to it, but at this time we do not find any dislike from it, it is effortless to use and gives us very related information about users also

Pros

Easy to setup! Really helpful to send a personalised information to the customer

Cons

Dashboard can be a bit a bit confusing at the beginning

Pros

Communicating with our users in all the channel from the same platform. We see OneSignal as our "microservice" for notifications and alerts.

Cons

Api can be improve to be as good as SDK integrations
