OneSignal’s omnichannel customer engagement platform offers push notifications, email, in-app messages, and SMS. OneSignal’s automated customer Journeys and one-off campaigns allow users to create messaging strategies that convert, inform, and retain audiences, with little to no coding required for setup.
Having a shared inbox is crucial for us, we cover 7 days a week from a PST-EST time zone so the whole team always needs to have visibility on conversations at all times. We also enjoy the fact that most functions of Heymarket are simple to use and don't require us to loop in tech help
I think One Signal is very well suited for mobile app owners who want to be in touch with their user base more easily by sending push notifications and in-app messages. I'm not sure how well that works for SMS messaging as I haven't yet tried it. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if your in-apps are very rare.
Is still in development: we know OneSignal is still in development and sometimes it takes longer to create or fulfill certain features.
Payment: payment menu is not at the glance, [and] is just difficult sometimes to find -it is a minor issue.
Send to certain custom segments through specific OneSignal IDs; you can do it though API doing a GET call with tools like Postman. If this can be done from OneSignal it would be great.
In my opinion, Heymarket is easy to use and has a nice, clean interface (much nicer than JustCall). The customization is nice and it is easy to create templates, schedule messages, send messages through API, etc. I cannot give it a 10 because, in my opinion, the mobile app is not very good, you cannot close API messages manually, and the Customer Service team lacks the ability to help without contacting management.
I give an 8 in this question mainly for 2 reasons: the products even if they look like complete and are highly customizable and usable, they are still missing some logical features. For example, send messages to a list of users - now days you can do it with postman and get calls. A second example is App messaging that is still in development and has many opportunities.
Their customer support has been top-notch. They are able to assist you in getting through any problems that you may have and respond in a very timely manner. I've dealt with them on 4-5 instances over the years and my issues were always resolved within a matter of a few business days.
Heymarket was easier to use and has had less errors than OpenPhone. While they do share many similar features (shared inbox, tagging users, simple to use) Heymarket has been a solid solution for us. I only wish we could also use it to make phone calls along side text messages
In my opinion, OneSignal documentation / API is more friendly [than] Firebase. Maybe because Firebase is already "too big," but OneSignal is focused on one solution that giving our notification through to our customer. In that case, OneSignal is chosen by our company. Several years after that, Firebase announced it supported [the] iOs platform too but our company already using OneSignal to our notification provider.
