Chose Hustle
I've heard of getthru.io (formerly Relay). Basically, it is just a copy of Hustle (maybe younger as well, not as experienced in the market). I didn't dive deep into their platform to get an idea of their capabilities or integrations. They do seem to have been (maybe) …
Chose Hustle
Hustle is a bit of a different animal when compared to various enterprise texting platforms like EZ Texting, Textel, Textio, etc. It's the best bet when you're trying to grow a membership base and provide responsive customer care, but may not be the best option if you're trying …
Chose Hustle
We have also used RAVE and Google Voice to send text massages. RAVE does not allow for one-to-one communication with recipients an Google Voice does not let you easily communicate with list of contacts and lacks the interface for canned responses. Neither provides the quality …
OneSignal
Chose OneSignal
OneSignal comes with a free plan and easy integration, unlike CleverTap which has a starting price of $200 per month and a difficult integration process. That is why we selected OneSignal instead of CleverTap.
Chose OneSignal
I believe OneSignal is an all around better platform than Push Owl. I am very happy we made the migration from Push Owl to OneSignal.
Chose OneSignal
In my opinion, OneSignal documentation / API is more friendly [than] Firebase. Maybe because Firebase is already "too big," but OneSignal is focused on one solution that giving our notification through to our customer. In that case, OneSignal is chosen by our company. Several …
Chose OneSignal
Look Firebase is a complete platform that includes a Push notification/InApp space. We had a lot of troubles while implementing Firebase: sometimes we thought it was ready until we tried to attach an image for Push notifications. This being said, the developers had to review …
Chose OneSignal
OneSignal is the one that has more integrations with plugins, external API and that is completely free and easy to install. They have a very good UI with many options and they will never ask for money to use this service. You can have unlimited subscribers and you can send …
Chose OneSignal
OneSignal is much more user-friendly, is free to use, and integrates with many more services. After the great redesign of OneSignal, it has become even better: easy localizations of the push, A/B tests and templates work great. Besides, there are a number of parameters you can …

Great for sales, political, fundraising, and nonprofit outreach. You can engage with season ticket holders for renewal, reaching out to voters to ensure they know where to vote and when, fundraising for non-profits, universities, etc., as well as engaging with a community (any organization that has a following and would like to get in touch with them easily, it's great for!)

I think One Signal is very well suited for mobile app owners who want to be in touch with their user base more easily by sending push notifications and in-app messages. I'm not sure how well that works for SMS messaging as I haven't yet tried it. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if your in-apps are very rare.

Cons
  • Salesforce integration could be more fluid, but at least they have one.
  • An Outreach or Salesloft integration would be amazing with a Hustle step added to a cadence.

  • They should develop features a bit faster as per user requirements.
  • Old users should get freemium model for new features.
  • Admin can look a bit better.
  • In-built and easy to use segmentation should be there too.

I give an 8 in this question mainly for 2 reasons: the products even if they look like complete and are highly customizable and usable, they are still missing some logical features. For example, send messages to a list of users - now days you can do it with postman and get calls. A second example is App messaging that is still in development and has many opportunities.

Support Rating
As a cloud-based web app, you can expect the typical software as a service communication channel for support. They offer generous support via phone, email, and chat. As with anything, some issues can be solved by googling the problem and finding a resolution that was explained in detail by another user.

Their customer support has been top-notch. They are able to assist you in getting through any problems that you may have and respond in a very timely manner. I've dealt with them on 4-5 instances over the years and my issues were always resolved within a matter of a few business days.

RAVE does not allow for one-to-one communication with recipients an Google Voice does not let you easily communicate with list of contacts and lacks the interface for canned responses. Neither provides the quality reporting that is available in Hustle.

Look Firebase is a complete platform that includes a Push notification/InApp space. We had a lot of troubles while implementing Firebase: sometimes we thought it was ready until we tried to attach an image for Push notifications. This being said, the developers had to review the integration several times until we decided to change to OneSignal. Also while using Firebase I was not convinced with the look and feel of the Notifications. My vote here is OneSignal.
