OneSignal sends push notifications. That is about it.
You still need SendGrid for email, Twilio for SMS, and Mixpanel for analytics. Intempt puts all four in one platform with AI agents and real customer profiles. From $24/seat/mo.

Why marketing teams are leaving OneSignal
Real complaints from real users, pulled from review platforms, community forums, and customer migration calls.
OneSignal charges $0.012 per mobile MAU on the Growth plan. At 50,000 MAU your push notification bill alone is $600/mo. And MAU means monthly active user, not subscriber - you pay for users who never opted in to push.
OneSignal does push and basic email. For SMS you need Twilio. For marketing email you need SendGrid or Mailchimp. For analytics you need Mixpanel. Four tools, four bills, four dashboards, no shared customer profile.
OneSignal segments are tag-based. No behavioral events, no identity resolution, no computed traits. You cannot build an audience like "users who viewed pricing 3+ times but did not start a trial" without piping data from another tool.

The teams that made the switch
We were losing visitors before they signed up. Intempt's personalized experiences changed that - we started meeting people where they were instead of guessing. Once they're in, Intempt's automated email takes over and keeps the relationship moving. Acquisition and retention finally feel like one connected motion instead of two separate problems.

StockInvest
Case Study
StockInvest needed to turn anonymous traffic into registered users before any retention strategy could work. With Intempt's Experiences, they personalized the anonymous visitor flow, surfacing the right content and CTAs to boost signup conversion. Once users signed up, automated Journeys nurtured them through onboarding and deeper engagement, steadily increasing lifetime value.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Both use FCM and APNs for mobile delivery. Push reliability depends on the device OS, not the platform.
