OneSignal – Web Push Notifications

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 49% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I have used OneSignal in the past and it was great then. Recently added it for a new project and nothing, NOTHING works. The plug in play option with the WordPress plugin is garbage. Kept getting service worker errors. Troubleshooting is a mess. Once those SW errors were fixed then more errors popped up. I would not recommend this to anyone.

   De la noche para la mañana aparecio uno notificacion que uno tenia que hacer un modanza a otro sitio (cambio de dominio), ahora no se puede configurar nada desde el plugin, si o si hay que entrar a su web y lo peor, la invitacion para suscribirse esta ahora en ingles, no se puede cambiar el idioma, no se puede personalizar ese mensaje, pregntas en el chat de soporte y solo te pasar link para leer todo el manual. Capos a ustedes se les ocurrio cambiar todo, porque tengo que perder tiempo en leer documentacion si yo no cometi el error, es mas facil que me digan anda a tal lugar para configurarlo, pero ni ustedes tienen idea, mas de 6 años usando este plugin y ahora lo elimine, una porqueria la verdad no tienen palabra, el mundo no se maneja en 1 solo idioma, tanto colocalos las plantillas multilenguaje, ¿porque no ponen multilenguaje su web?

   In the past, OneSignal was one of the best push notification services. Unfortunately, today it is the worst. It was already presenting difficulties in the configuration, but now it is simply impossible to use. The errors are constant: The settings are not applied correctly The permission prompts do not work as they should There are conflicts between different prompts If you delete one, it does not allow you to add it again Even with two different prompts, they open identically I have detected more than 10 problems just trying to configure it. I have been trying to make it work for two days, without success. A few days ago it was already difficult, now it is unfeasible.

   It started of great with the videos. I dont know if its the same company. To many problems. one supports multisite and one doesn’t. The one that dont support multisite is one signal. The one that do support multisite is super pwa. Super Pwa does not show where you can subscribe when you set up app. I am sorry. Super PWA and One Signal is not the same. I will give it a shot again.
