Their dashboard UI is great too and can help you debug messages being delivered or failing.

Customer support is fast. Web interface is a breeze.
If you rule a small-medium site and want to get your users more engaged, this tool is for you. Its possible to start with free tier so you can test the pros/cons of using it and see if it's worth
Pros
Great tool for marketing departments and to generate important amounts of traffic - Simple and effective GUI - Can schedule and plan notifications easily - Allows segmentation - Wordpress and other platforms integration
Cons
- Once you want to deliver to multiple sites/devices (web mobile) you have to schedule different notifications - Free means giving data to advertisers

Thank you Jordi for the nice review. The OneSignal team appreciates the review. Please note that OneSignal does NOT share any data with advertisers or sell data to anybody. The free product is free.
You can measure the success of a web project goal or objectives through the app delivery reports. It makes it easy to see how well or how poor they are working.
Pros
You get detailed report of message delivery in real time.
Cons
I find the Wordpress plugin to be easiest to install but not without some hickups along the way. I wish they could extend support for other well-known site bulders. It's not fun for non tech savy enthusiants.

Push integration for small-medium projects are easily done and quickly integrated.
Pros
It's really easy to set up push notifications for small projects with limited requirements.
Cons
Recently they reduced features and push you to move to the paid plan (e.g. limited amount of segments, GDPR compliance only for paid users). This had a huge impact and pricing for apps with lots of active users get's expensive quickly.

Pros
After the great redesign of OneSignal, it has become even better: easy localizations of the push, A/B tests and templates work great.
Cons
I wish there were more statistics on the sent push: e.g. in what countries it was opened, how much time since delivery has passed, etc.

Real-time update of Subscribed and Unsubscribed users to push notifications service.

In a rare situation of migrating to a new domain name or App, you cannot carry the subscribers along which makes them useless.

in the company we use react native for mobile development and one of the major requirement was that the client don't like to open the app to check for updates. so we decided to use one signal to send notification to users.
Pros
one signal is very very simple to use and implement into your application. it have a very complete documentation that cover almost all the SDK that you may used in your app. setting up the service takes 15-20 minutes max.
Cons
if you use the free version chances that they are using/selling your data. from technical perspective i faced a couple of issues with web notifications sometimes the notification is not pushed.

Web browser notifications.
Pros
I have also used their API and it very clean and well documented.
Cons
I tried implementing his on a custom site with their provided code and it never worked correctly. I think their custom code probably needs a little work.

Pros
OneSignal is great for sending push notifications - even the setup is so simple that I was able to implement and add platforms such as IOS and i have no coding skills- we have used it to implement lucrative advertising offers and flag readers of important articles and alerts
Cons
I do not have cons right now for OneSignal - i wish there were way to be able to put link on website and have people subscribe directly but most PUSH platforms do not offer this extra feature to my knowledge

My overall experience with OneSignal Push Notification is very good.
Pros
One Signal is best push notification tool in my eye.
Cons
The only thing i did't like of OneSignal is pricing. Obviously it is free upto 30K users but if you have 200k users then you have to pay $500 per month and it is quiet high.

OneSignal is the best free push notification solution available.
Pros
We use OneSignal push notifications to alerts to our readers about breaking stories.
Cons
We have not run into any issues with OneSignal so far. The free option allows up to 30,000 web subscribers, so we’ll have to consider whether we can afford OneSignal’s paid plans after we reach that number.

Overall expierience is great. I'm happy with the platform.
Pros
The price is the main thing I consider when selecting this. This offers 30k free subscribers that more than enough for a startup website.
Cons
Currently we can filter subscribers by only a single tag value.

Pros
Works well to push notifications about breaking news and other important stories to readers of our online newspaper.

It is difficult for users to figure out how to opt out of notifications if they change their minds later, which has led to some problems.

A push notification service for free!
Pros
At the price (free) this software simply cannot be beat. We were using a much more expensive software for over a year until we finally came across One Signal, which has all the same capabilities for free!
Cons
The implementation of any push notification software can be a bit technical to non-developers, but that's the nature of the beast, and certainly not the fault of One Signal, who has made the process as simple as it can possibly be.
