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
UserVoice

- Pricing is based on feedback volume and which integrations are connected rather than a flat seat price, so cost cannot be estimated without a sales conversation
