Hello,
I have used pusher, onesignal and pretty much every other solution but they get very pricey with the amount of subscribers collected.
We are receiving around 50k new subscribers a day and every solution out there wants to charge an arm and a leg for it.
For the long-term plan we put a dev team to custom build a solution for us but that is still 8-10 weeks out from being usable.
Can you recommend a solution for the short-term that also let's you export your subscribers? Most solutions out there make a big deal out of it.
If you know about services that monetise the subscribers as they come in and take a percentage, please post them as well. Considering all options as I feel we are overpaying and leaving money on the table right now.
Thanks,
David
As a programmer and at that scale I'd say your only options are Firebase or writing everything yourself.
The long-term play is to write it all out from scratch though.
You could try Pushflow
Or Pushnami.
Or if you don't want to own the subscribers and resell your traffic to push networks, you can always use Monetizer or Propush.
Hi David,
We are excited to announce that SmartPush is what you are looking for. We don't charge based on the number of subscribers, we charge based on the number of push notifications that have been actually delivered and displayed to your subscribers.
Some of your subscribers may be inactive and not receive the notification at all, some may have unsubscribed. So, in the end, you might end up paying for, let’s say, 10,000 subscribers, out of which only 3000 are active and seeing your messages.
Our pricing model is unique in that it charges only for the added business value at the point when we yield profit for you. The model calculates how many push messages have been delivered to your subscribers, and you pay for the actual result only.
Regarding migrating subscribers from OneSignal to us, we have a very easy solution for that too.
Please DM us your Skype ID or any other contact and we will give you personalized onboarding support and offer.
Hi David,
My team built a custom solution for push notifications.
May pains:
- We don't know if our solution is good enough or not. Maybe we are leaving money on the table because our solution is not good enough for some devices or our push notifications get blocked and we don't know.
- There is very little (and bad) documentation on how push subscription work.
8-10 weeks sounds like a lot to have a PoC working to be honest. But maybe your are planning the build the ultimate push subscription system.
I would suggest that you build something very simple and it should get done in 1 week of dev work. It would be easier than finding a solution that allow you to export your tokens and doing it.
SmartPush is allowing you to export your subscribers' Google Keys so that you can use them anywhere else.
