We needed to send push notifications to our users on our mobile applications. OneSignal is a wonderful solution for that. After our initial demo and integrations, we realized we could use it for much more! So we started using it for their in-app messaging functions, as well as doing some A/B testing on user communication.
  • In-app messaging
  • Push notifications
  • A/B Testing
Cons
  • Setting it up
  • More design choices for in-apps
  • More analytics
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.

Highly Cost Effective and Robost Push Notification Service in The Market

Rating: 10 out of 10

1. We needed a robust system to send multiple notifications at a time. We use OneSignal on daily basis to send 40+ push notifications a day (365 days a year) without any issue and cater to all the countries around the globe in all major languages. 2. It is a tough task maintaining the attention of subscribers and bringing them back in a cost-effective way. Onesignal is highly cost-effective for our overall marketing. It is playing a major role to bring users to our websites. 3. It is a feature-loaded tool with user segmentation, A/B testing of push notifications, intelligent delivery, etc. Ultimately it helps us optimize our efforts. 4. We have reduced our cost of customer acquisition and increased our conversion rate using it.
  • 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.
Cons
  • They should develop features a bit faster as per user requirements.
  • Old users should get freemium model for new features.
  • Admin can look a bit better.
  • In-built and easy to use segmentation should be there too.
1. It is well-suited for industries that want faster delivery of push notifications without any issues and the timing of push notifications is more important than money spent on it. 2. It is not suited for industries in which money matters more than the delivery time of the push and few errors in the backend are acceptable.

We use OneSignal to send push notifications to our subscribers on their devices. It can instantly send push notifications with text and images to more than 30 different platforms including web browsers and smartphones. It offers a plugin for WordPress to quickly collect new subscribers. OneSignal is a SAAS platform that can be easily integrated with Hubspot and Shopify. It can be integrated with Twilio too for SMS and MMS messaging. It can also send notifications to the subscribers on Mailchimp, sendgrid, or Mailgun. Overall it is a very powerful message delivery system that is ready for the future.
  • It can send push notifications to all major browsers and devices.
  • It is lightning fast.
  • Very easy to setup and integrate with 3rd party services.
  • It has a rich API for in app messaging.
  • It offers a free plan for messaging up to 10,000 subscribers.
Cons
  • Expensive pricing of 309 per month for 100,000 subscribers.
  • SAAS platform are not reliable for data privacy.
One signal is best suited for news and media publishing websites. Media agencies can quickly broadcast their news by sending notifications to their subscribers. It is not suitable for the corporate business where the is no frequent news and updates and most of the communications rely on emails.

We use OneSignal for our organization's Push Notifications across our website and mobile apps. For years now we have used OneSignal to manage our Push Automations and Push Campaigns. Very happy with how the platform works and their pricing model is fair. Currently, we have around 200,000 Push Subscribers and our campaigns perform great with OneSignal.
  • Push notifications
  • Automations
  • Push campaigns
Cons
  • I wish it was easier to create more automations/flows.
I believe OneSignal is the best option when it comes to Push Notifications. Their platform is top-notch for Push Notifications, their pricing model is fair and their customer support is great. We have been using OneSignal for many years and are very happy, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to build their Push Subscriber channel.

Our company using OneSignal for our Mobile Apps Department, OneSignal is a solution to manage our push notification[s] in our apps. Its developer friendly too, many action provided from API / SDK and its provide a free services too for a reasonable limit. OneSignal can handle multiple platform too including iOs that we know its so complicated to set up APNS, etc.
  • Multi-Platform Support
  • Well-Documented
  • Developer Friendly
Cons
  • Technical Support
  • {Could] Be Easier to Debug
  • More Interactive Dashboard
OneSignal is good when you need a one-stop solution for push notification[s] on your multi-platform apps. If you are developing your apps in Android, iOs, Web / Webview, etc, and your Backend Infrastructure that [have] push notification for each app it will be so complicated. So OneSignal is the best solution, you just need to config your apps and your setting from Firebase / APNS and you are ready to go
