The short version
- Only OneSignal has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: OneSignal free plan email sends cap at 10,000 per month and web push is capped at 10,000 subscribers per send, per onesignal.com/pricing (Aug 2026); Ozonetel no pricing is published in any usable form, so seat rates, per minute charges, number rental and dialler licences are entirely opaque until a sales process is underway, which makes budget approval slow.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
OneSignal
- Free plan email sends cap at 10,000 per month and web push is capped at 10,000 subscribers per send, per onesignal.com/pricing (Aug 2026)
- Professional and Enterprise plans require custom annual contracts with no published rate, per onesignal.com; SMS/RCS messaging and dedicated IPs are gated behind the Professional tier
Ozonetel
- No pricing is published in any usable form, so seat rates, per minute charges, number rental and dialler licences are entirely opaque until a sales process is underway, which makes budget approval slow.
- Contact centre cost in India is dominated by per minute telecom charges rather than seat licences, so a low quoted seat rate can hide the majority of the bill in usage that scales with call volume.
- Feature depth outside voice is thinner than Genesys or Talkdesk, so an organisation prioritising digital-first omnichannel with deep workforce management will find gaps.
- The product, support model and integration set are shaped around Indian market requirements, and organisations outside India get a smaller partner network and less mature local support.
- On-premise deployment, one of its main selling points for regulated buyers, brings back infrastructure, upgrade and capacity planning costs that the move to cloud contact centres was meant to remove.
