Quick answer

OneSignal's pricing page offers a Free plan with 10,000 emails per month, unlimited mobile push and in-app messaging for up to 1,000 monthly active users, and web push capped at 10,000 subscribers per send. Growth starts at $19/mo plus per-channel usage: $0.012 per monthly active user for mobile push with in-app messaging included, $0.004 per web push subscriber, and 20,000 free emails per month before overage fees. Professional and Enterprise are custom annual plans with volume discounts, handled through sales. Growth is month-to-month and can be changed or downgraded in the dashboard, while annual customers make changes through an account rep. Paid plans retain subscription record data until deletion, while the Free plan only retains records active in the past 18 months.

Cost scenarios

Pricing pages show the entry point. These scenarios show what the plan means in real buying situations.

Best fit

Mobile app needing push first

OneSignal: Free mobile push can be compelling.. Sequenzy: Push and in-app messages are included in every plan, with SDKs for iOS, Android, React Native and Flutter, but Sequenzy is email-first with less depth than OneSignal's push tooling.. OneSignal is better for push-led engagement.

Check fit

SaaS team mostly sending lifecycle email

OneSignal: Free email allowance helps early, but product is broader than email.. Sequenzy: More focused on SaaS lifecycle email.. Sequenzy is a cleaner fit for email-first SaaS marketing.

Check fit

Omnichannel app messaging

OneSignal: Depends on email, SMS/RCS, push, in-app, and plan tier.. Sequenzy: Not intended as an omnichannel notification suite.. OneSignal wins when push and in-app are central.

What to watch for

Channel mix matters; OneSignal is not just email.

Professional and Enterprise changes go through account reps.

Free plan data-retention behavior differs from paid plans.

Costs beyond the headline price

  • Growth email above 20,000 sends per month is billed at $1.50 per 1,000 sends, with a 500,000-send monthly cap unless sales raises it.
  • Web push on Growth costs $0.004 per subscriber each month on top of the $19 platform fee.
  • SMS and RCS are billed by message volume, with custom volume pricing on Professional and Enterprise.
  • Professional and Enterprise are custom annual contracts, so changes go through an account rep instead of the self-serve dashboard.
  • Online payments are accepted in USD only, with wire or ACH available only on annual plans.

OneSignal pricing depends on channels

OneSignal’s email allowance is only part of the story. The product is strongest when push, in-app, SMS/RCS, and journeys all matter.

The real cost model starts with channel mix. A product team using mobile push, web push, email, in-app messages, and SMS/RCS should estimate how often the same user receives messages across multiple channels. Free push can make the first bill look attractive, but paid requirements usually come from journey complexity, support expectations, data retention, and higher-volume messaging.

If email is only one channel in a product-notification stack, read OneSignal alternatives to compare broader messaging platforms. If your actual need is lifecycle email for onboarding, activation, and retention, Sequenzy vs OneSignal is the more direct comparison.
