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.
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.

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.

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.

A push notification service for free!
Pros
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.

We use OneSignal to reliably push notifications to thousands of our newspaper readers about breaking news, weather events and emergencies.
Pros
Works well to push notifications about breaking news and other important stories to readers of our online newspaper.
Cons
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.

Timely notifications to readers/listeners.
Pros
It would do exactly what it claimed to do 9 out of 10 times. Clearly was light years ahead of the competition.
Cons
The slightest change (http to https) meant that I lost all my subscribers that I had worked hard to build over a few years.

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.

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

the concept is fantastic. Unfortunately with my experience they dont seem to deliver what is promised

I can not get ANY subscribed users to actually receive any notifications. I have tried ALL troubleshooting options to no avail. 1/10 As support is in another country its more or less impossible for me to get any help.
