SendiventvsOneSignal

Push engagement platform vs multi-channel transactional

OneSignal thinks in engagement: "How do we get users back into the app?" Push-first, with campaigns, segments, and A/B testing.

Sendivent thinks in notifications: "How do we tell users what just happened?" Event-driven, with email, SMS, and Slack as first-class channels (push on the roadmap).

Different mental models, different tools.

Different problems, different tools

OneSignal solves: "How do I engage users and drive them back to my app?"

Sendivent solves: "How do I notify users when things happen in my product?"

When engagement tools help

OneSignal's features shine when you need:

• Segment-based campaigns ("notify all users who haven't logged in")
• A/B testing notification copy
• Marketing-style push campaigns
• Engagement analytics

When infrastructure wins

Sendivent's approach is better when you need:

• Transactional notifications triggered by events
• Multi-channel routing from a single API
• Developer-controlled notification logic
• Simpler tooling without marketing features

Using both

Some teams use both: OneSignal for engagement/marketing, Sendivent for transactional notifications. The tools complement each other.

Bottom line

Choose OneSignal if you need engagement and campaign features. Choose Sendivent if you need clean developer infrastructure for product notifications.
