Unlimited tags
Their free plan caps tags at 6. At PushMesh, tags have no limit on any plan — not even on Free. Segment by behavior, plan or city: the ruler is yours, not ours.
Coming from OneSignal? Your user base fits here — no app rewrite.
The compatibility API speaks the classic push format: on the server, you swap the endpoint and the key. And every send comes back with a real receipt from the device — proof of delivery, not an estimate.
What changes on October 1, 2026
OneSignal told its customers: the free plan will cap mobile push at 1,000 monthly active users — anyone above the ceiling is invited to pay. If your base is past that, this page is the way out.
The honest comparison, point by point
Only what their announcement tightened — no inflated numbers, no asterisks.
Proven delivery receipts
The market standard is to report “sent”. PushMesh confirms the message reached the device: every send comes back with a signed receipt, and your delivery metric becomes a fact, not an estimate.
Block pricing, no surprises
No base subscription: you pay per monthly active user, in blocks, with the public price frozen on the invoice. The first 1,000 monthly active users are free every month, on any plan — and that ceiling is dynamic: we change it in the console, with no deploy.
The migration playbook in three steps
The honest picture of the effort: low on the server, medium in the app — and one stage nobody automates.
1. The server swaps the endpoint and the key
PushMesh's /api/v1 accepts the classic format — include_player_ids, contents, included_segments and company. Sending, querying and reports use the format you already know.
2. The app swaps the SDK and the initialization
The package changes and the initialization changes — the rest of your code stays the same. Tags, triggers and permission have direct equivalents in our SDK.
3. The base registers as the app updates
Nobody migrates a device base with an API key: devices come in as users update the app. It's a period, not a command — and the guide shows how to get through it.
