## OneSignal Reviews
  ### 1. Easy to use and extremely reliable

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2025

**What do you like best about OneSignal?**

OneSignal is extremely easy to setup and use, both online or using their comprehensive API. Integrating with our app was a breeze, and we use it as our main touchpoint with our users. It scales really well and it has a really comprehensive free tier.

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

The reporting and management of segmented audience can be quite challenging. Also, maintaining a "clean" audience can be a challenge, although support has always been there to assist.

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Making push notifications simple and easy to use in scale both for android and iOS

  ### 2. Simple engagement tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services

**Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2025

Honestly, I like how I don’t need to overthink it. Once integrated, it just works. The dashboard is clean, and scheduling notifications is as easy as writing a short post.

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

The core features are strong, I cant complain.

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Daily reminders, engagement campaigns, and feature updates for our app users.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Individual & Family Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2025

  ### 5. Nice comprehensive messaging, fantastic support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Scott D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 27, 2024

**What do you like best about OneSignal?**

We've been using it primarily for email and push notifications, but are dabbling in txt messages. It was very easy to integrate into our code base, and they provide an amazing product for free while you don't have much usage. I love that I will be able to handle email, in-app, push, and sms all under one platform.

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

I think they specialize in a much more complicated use case, which is automated followup with customers over time over many channels. We're just using it for simple account notifications and signups. Because of this, a lot of the structure related to grouping users ("audiences" and "segments"), subscriptions for those users, is a little confusing. The idea of a subscription doesn't make sense for our needs, and that's a fundamental concept in their platform.

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Simplifying messaging across multiple channels. I don't have to integrate multiple different APIs, and can track analytics easily across all these channels.

  ### 6. Multichannel experience

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marcos P. | Product Manager, Newspapers, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2024

**What do you like best about OneSignal?**

OneSignal allows you to use a multichannel strategy to distribute content through several channels. In our case we use in-app push and web push, but it also allows you to send newsletters by email, SMS and many other options. In addition, it allows you to easily save the configuration to facilitate quick sending of alerts.

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

The biggest drawback of OneSignal, in my opinion, is that its interface is unintuitive and the navigation of its options could be improved to make it easier to use for team members who are less familiar with these distribution systems.

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

One of the main problems that OneSignal corrects is the deficiencies in the internal implementation of alerts offered by our CMS. 

It allows us to send urls automatically tagged with UTM to follow the conversion of readers. Another advantage is that it allows the sending of more than 15,000 pushes, something that our CMS does not do, which forces us to divide platforms and browsers, limiting our combined work.

Another important point is that OneSignal allows us to place a photo in our Apple pushes, which our CMS does not allow. This advantage makes the CTR of these alerts much higher.

In addition, Onesignal allows the scheduling of alerts, to be able to maintain a spreadsheet and a continuous flow of messages. 

A final point in its favor is its alert preview system, which allows you to get an idea of ​​what the final message will look like.

  ### 7. Reliable push notifications service for the last 5 years

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2025

**What do you like best about OneSignal?**

I've been using OneSignal for the past five years, and my experience has been great. The service is straightforward to set up, which made it easy for me to integrate into our clients' applications without any hassle. The dashboard is intuitive, and I appreciate how quickly I can create and send push notifications.

To me, what stands out the most is the reliability of the service. In all these years, we've never faced any issues. Overall, I highly recommend OneSignal to anyone looking for a dependable push notification service.

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

Honestly, nothing bad to say! It’s reassuring to use a platform that simply works without any issues, so I truly can't pinpoint any drawbacks from my experience.

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

OneSignal solves the problem of keeping users engaged with timely push notifications. For our clients’ apps, this means we can easily send messages about transactional communications, updates, promotions, and any other app-specific messages and notifications, which helps keep users interested.

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have many platforms in which we gather customer contact information, Website, on-site wifi, Point of sale, Event QR Check-ins to name a few.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2025

**What do you like best about OneSignal?**

We're using OneSignal in our website and app together and the best part of OneSignal is its easy integration. For Mobile we just have to add dependency and basic 4-5lines of code and for Web, we just use OneSignal Wordpress plugin.

The ease of integration offered by OneSignal absolutely demolishes the competition.

Since OneSignal SDK 5.* for Android, there has been some crashes and ANRs observed however the resolution and response from the OneSignal team has been swift.

The documentation is complete, clear and with examples for all possible languages, in addition to an excellent support team, especially Dominick, who was very attentive and patient, helping me to correct some problems in installing the SDK for Capacitor in Xcode.

I've been using OneSignal in my projects with Ionic for a few years (since Cordova, now with Capacitor), and I'm delighted with all the features, even though I still have the free plan. I can't wait to upgrade my plan!

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

There's nothing I don't like about OneSignal, as I've had great experiences with the software and support team so far, so I have nothing to complain about!

As an app in the area of gyms, studios and personal trainers, it is essential to be able to send notifications to users, either for an update on your workouts made by your coach or even for some vital notice from your gym.

**Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2025

I have intensively used pushed notifications from onesignal in most if not all my web and mobile application for notifications. Integration is seamless and straight forward. I would say I find the integration even more seamless than the firebase integration. It just works.

  ### 21. Effortless, reliable and feature-rich messaging solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2025

**What do you like best about OneSignal?**

What I love most about OneSignal is how easy it is to use, while still offering powerful features like segmentation, automation, and A/B testing. It makes engaging and retaining users simple, and the fact that it integrates smoothly with different platforms is a huge plus. Also, the free tier is really generous!

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

One thing I don’t love about OneSignal is that some of the more advanced features, like detailed reports and analytics, are only available on the paid plans. It can feel a bit limiting if you’re using the free version.

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

OneSignal makes it easy to send targeted, timely push notifications to users on multiple platforms. It saves me a ton of time with features like automation and user segmentation, so I can deliver the right message to the right audience at the perfect moment. This has significantly improved user engagement and helps keep my audience informed without bombarding them with irrelevant notifications.

  ### 22. Super simple to get started

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tanner W. | Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2024

**What do you like best about OneSignal?**

OneSignal has definitely been well used and they have smoothed out a lot of rough edged. We came from another messaging service, and this was was hands down simpler to use and had much more documentation

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

Their growth tier is not a long term option. Don't make the decision to start OneSignal based on the price of their Growth tier. Multiply that by ~10x, and that's what you'll be paying for the Pro tier. There are some key limitations they have put on the growth tier (number of tags/segments/journeys) that will make it almost impossible to stick with that long term.

It likely is still worth it at that higher price, but that would be good to know before there is a large switching cost.

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

One signal makes it very easy to create personalized journeys for each of our users

The dashboard is intuitive and easy to navigate, which makes setting up push notifications and campaigns simple and efficient, even for someone without a technical background.

Overall it's easy to use.

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

Sometimes, setting up more complex workflows or multi-step automation sequences can feel a bit cumbersome. Making this more streamlined or adding more templates for common use cases could be a helpful enhancement. Maybe in app design editor could be more detailed. I really enjoyed more if I can create more customizable in app messages.

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

OneSignal is solving several critical problems related to user engagement and communication. Prior to using OneSignal, it was difficult to manage different communication channels efficiently, often requiring separate tools or platforms, which made it harder to maintain consistent messaging.

  ### 35. The Best Push Service Out There

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2025

**What do you like best about OneSignal?**

I have been a mobile developer for 15 years, Out of all the push services (including native) I have used, none have been as easy to use and as versatile as One Signal. Segmenting is fantastic. Love the geo targeting

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

I wish the SDK made it easy to automate the opt in, or at least the push of the user to opt in to push messaging.

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We can view where our apps are getting traffic. We can target users in a specific  geo.

  ### 36. “Powerful and User-Friendly Push Notification Platform!”

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management

**Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2025

OneSignal is an outstanding push notification platform that’s easy to use, feature-rich, and highly reliable. It offers seamless integration, detailed analytics, and excellent customer support. The automation and segmentation tools help boost engagement effortlessly. Highly recommended for developers and marketers alike!

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

If it could be managed from our wrodpress dashborad directly then it would be very easy. But doesn't has that option

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

sending notifications manually is solved by this

  ### 37. Exceeds my expectations

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 09, 2024

**What do you like best about OneSignal?**

Their push notification service is the best. Like giving 10,000 free message per month is the biggest reason why I love using it. 

I'm using free version but I feel like am using the paid version because of the limitless service. I'm a junior developer and I integrate OneSignal into my app (Android Studio) and it gives me the best satisfaction I need. 

Messages are delivered instantly without delays. I don't know why all those features are free but I thank OneSignal team for considering people like us giving me the opportunity to use the service without limit.

Best Best Best!!!
1000% recommended

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

I haven't seen anything I don't like yet, maybe because of the area I'm using, but for now, I don't think I dislike anything.

If there's one thing I would say I dislike, I would say I love to have an application for OneSignal.

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Their push notification service helps me keep my customers updated. I love that feature and the return rate of my customers has increased and it can be attributed to the notification.

  ### 38. Powerful tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2024

**What do you like best about OneSignal?**

Interactive, easy-to-use, clear documentation. These 3 elements sum-up our experience with OneSignal. It's a very effective way to communicate with your client-base whichever channel option you desire (Push notification, In-app message, SMS, Email). Overall OneSignal enables an automated and precise way of communication. Frictionless and smooth.

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

We're early stage users, and so far our experience is very pleasant. However 2 things i would look into: 1) Attaching videos on in-app messages (not limited to pics and gifs) and 2) not being forced to save the files on the web (URL) rather than support attachments that are locally saved. Not an IT expert, but probably there's security and functionality contraints for both.

**What problems is OneSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automating activities. Information is key especially when a new products enters the market. Users need to be trained, educated and this is a timely-demanding process that requires resourcses. Early-stage companies cannot afford additional manpower. OneSignal has returned most of the time spent on using it back to us. A lot of value.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Writing and Editing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2024

**What do you like best about OneSignal?**

The platform stands out for its ease of use, from simple onboarding to intuitive interfaces for creating and managing campaigns. Even those with limited technical expertise can integrate OneSignal's into their apps or sites and start sending notifications quickly.

**What do you dislike about OneSignal?**

One downside of OneSignal is that some advanced features are restricted to paid plans, which can be limiting for businesses that outgrow the free tier but may not yet need or want to invest in premium options. For instance, features like priority support, higher messaging limits, and advanced customization options are locked behind these plans.

Problem: Keeping users engaged and returning to an app or website is a challenge for many businesses.
Solution: OneSignal’s push notifications, in-app messaging, and email marketing tools allow businesses to send timely and personalized messages to users, driving them back to the app or website.
