Use Cases and Deployment Scope
OneSignal is used on many websites we own, it is one of the best and only free push notification services on the market. The problem with other services is that they cost a lot of money and sometimes they are not even good and with many integrations like OneSignal.
Pros
  • Push notifications.
  • Segmentation.
  • Integrations.
  • Easy to install.
Cons
  • Better deliver-ability.
  • They should not sell your data to advertisers.
  • Improved mobile app.
Likelihood to Recommend
OneSignal is perfect if you have a Wordpress site, a blog, or some website not extremely big. The only thing that people don't like about OneSignal is that to keep it free they need to sell some of your data like the traffic on your sites to advertisers.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Bussi is a "Mobility as a service" app where you can book and pay for seats in Public Transportation, specifically in Mexico City. We deliver our app in Android and IOS and of course we have to be in touch with our customers through push notifications. Here enters OneSignal. We decided to use OneSignal for push notifications for price and easiness that it represented at the beginning. With time, we were glad that OneSignal has been evolving with us by offering new features like in-app messages, segmentations and many more that are implementing like SMS. At the same time, [we've grown] until the point of having hundreds of thousands of users. OneSignal was free until we reach[ed] the 130,000 users and even [then] the amount charged is really low.
Pros
  • Push notifications: they deliver in the moment and give you metrics, push [notifications] are highly configured and you doesn't need to configure extra steps.
  • Segmentation: the way they divide segments is very efficient - you can do it by geographical area, engagement, and transactions that you have defined.
  • In-App Messaging: this new feature is to show a full screen message when users open the app with images and call to action buttons.
Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
OneSignal is perfect [for] Push Notification[s], In-App messaging, [and] general communication with your users into your app. If you have a developer team they will need to implement once and after that you get all [that] the platform offers. And its free until you reach a big amount of users.

OneSignal is not suitable if you [don't] have a technology team that can implement it into your app.

Highly Cost Effective and Robost Push Notification Service in The Market

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Likelihood to Recommend
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
