A High-Level Comparison

CleverTap is a good fit for highly-resourced teams with large budgets and who have dedicated engineering resources for a longer setup process and ongoing management.

However, most companies need their messaging to do more or are strapped for dev resources. That’s how we’re different. OneSignal aims to streamline your messaging workflow across teams and departments. We combine powerful no-code tools (from segmentation to automation and testing), a fast and unlimited API, and top-notch support. And those are just a few of the reasons OneSignal is a G2 Leader for easiest setup and implementation.

For over 2M users, OneSignal is a better choice.

A Generous Free Plan

Compared to our competitors, we offer an extensive free plan because we believe that our success is contingent on yours. Whether you’re a scrappy startup or large enterprise, we offer you the tools and resources you need to grow, as well as the context and confidence to make an informed decision. Our variety of plans give you a scalable growth solution without a significant cost barrier. In contrast, CleverTap’s short, 14-day free trial and high baseline price can be deterring for small and medium-sized businesses deciding where to allocate their resources.

OneSignal had all the features we needed out of the box, could deliver messages across both web and mobile, and presented a leaner workflow. It was a no brainer.
