Likelihood to Recommend Hustle is best suited for messages that require a response, like Yes/No for RSVP or asking if they need more info about a topic. We use Hustle to communicate with students in higher education to inform them about important information like upcoming payment deadlines or to encourage attendance at events like orientation.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Pros Personalized texting at scale. Scrubbing numbers for cell phones with 99% accuracy. Sends alerts so you never miss a notification. Read full review Send instant notifications without any delay. Provide all the necessary features for testing. Highly cost effective. Great system to handle huge volume. Great customer support. Read full review Cons This is one of the more expensive options available Wish there was more data to report on Read full review 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. Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Support Rating Amazing support staff. Whether you have a dedicated contact or just help from their support channel, they help clear issues very quickly.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered We have also used RAVE and Google Voice to send text massages. RAVE does not allow for one-to-one communication with recipients an Google Voice does not let you easily communicate with list of contacts and lacks the interface for canned responses. Neither provides the quality reporting that is available in Hustle.
Read full review 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.
