When OneSignal might be the better fit
OneSignal is a strong choice if you need native mobile app push (your own iOS/Android app) or a mature all-in-one suite spanning email, SMS and in-app messaging today. relaybell is web-push-only for now — if the web is where you re-engage users, that focus is the point.
Questions people ask
Can I migrate from OneSignal to relaybell?
You add the relaybell snippet (or plugin) and your visitors opt in again. Web push subscriptions are tied to a specific browser and provider, so they can’t be transferred between services — but re-subscribing is one click, and you keep your existing OneSignal setup running while you switch.
Does relaybell do mobile app push?
Not yet — relaybell is web push only for now (desktop and mobile browsers, including Safari on iOS 16.4+). If you need push inside your own native app, OneSignal covers that today.
Is relaybell really free?
During early access, yes — every core feature is included with no per-send fees. Paid plans arrive later, and early adopters lock in founder pricing.
