OneSignal started as a push notification service and now covers mobile push, web push, in-app messages, email, SMS and RCS. The free plan gives access to all channels with basic automation, analytics and personalization, which makes it an easy way to start. Growth costs $19 per month as a platform fee, with usage on top: mobile push is $0.012 per monthly active user, web push is $0.004 per subscriber, and email includes 20,000 free sends a month before $1.50 per 1,000. Growth also raises limits to five active flows, 10 segments and 10 data tags, and adds Mixpanel, Amplitude, Segment and HubSpot integrations. Contacts are unlimited on every plan. The caps matter for lifecycle teams with many programs, since unlimited segments and flows only arrive on Enterprise. Professional and Enterprise are custom priced. Teams that need deep data modeling or warehouse segmentation will get more from Customer.io or Braze.
