PushEngage vs. OneSignal

Should you switch from OneSignal to PushEngage?

Push notifications are a core revenue surface for mid-market and enterprise businesses running high-volume web and mobile experiences. But many teams discover, often too late, that their push notification platform has quietly become one of their most inefficient cost centers. If you’re currently using OneSignal, there is a strong chance you are overpaying for push infrastructure relative to the value you’re getting back.

PushEngage was built specifically to address this problem.

The cost problem no one flags early.

OneSignal is frequently adopted because it is flexible, developer-friendly, and easy to prototype with. For many teams, it starts as a reasonable choice. As subscriber counts grow and push becomes a meaningful revenue driver, OneSignal’s pricing model begins to behave like infrastructure pricing rather than revenue software pricing.

A real-world cost comparison

A recent enterprise lead approached PushEngage with the following situation:

  • Platform: OneSignal
  • Subscriber count: ~125,000
  • Annual spend: $14,000+

When we mapped them to PushEngage pricing for equivalent Web and App push usage, the projected annual cost was ~$7,000 per year.

 

You're looking at a $7,000+ annual delta for the same fundamental push notification capability that could have gone into your customer acquisition budget.

Retention should never be this expensive.

Send us an email with the subject line, "I'm overpaying OneSignal" along with your latest OneSignal invoice and we'll guarantee a minimum of 20% reduction in costs. Depending on subscriber volume, you could get an even better deal.

"PushEngage is quick and easy to implement. It provides results promptly and the analytics presents them in a clear and understandable fashion. The ability to tailor your target audience is particularly impressive as you are able to increase your engagement rates as you use the software."

Alex AveryDatabase Marketing Executive

"We are able to reach our customer base in almost an instant. Recently we had a Facebook live stream with technical difficulties due to internet connectivity issues. The Livestream dropped 2 times, and without push notifications, we wouldn’t have been able to bring people back onto the live call when we reconnected in such a timely manner. Email would have been too slow to put together in an emergency and social media organic posts only reach a fraction of the following."

John SmithCEO

"Web push notification was a totally new channel that we added to our marketing stack and is continuously adding revenue on a daily basis ever since. Would highly recommend it to all online retailers."
