Currently using Parse for Push notifications (it's simple to send a request to Parse and it handles iOS vs Android issues).
Is there any tool out there that has similar functionality? Ie. you register all your users devices there and they simplify the sending of push notifications.

- aglazer 11y agoIt may be worth checking out Taplytics. We do transactional, behavioral and event-driven pushes (plus, you can A/B test all of it in one place) :) Disclamer - I work at Taplytics!
- tomwilson 11y agoIt's not quite as simple to use but Amazon SNS works decently and I doubt it will shut down any time soon :-)

- gdeglin 11y agoHi, I'm one of the founders of OneSignal. We make revenue from products that help companies with advertising and competitive research. Our push service helps us collect the data necessary to make this work, similar to services like Flurry Analytics. So we're happy to provide it for free. Happy to go into more detail via email: contact@onesignal.com
- gdeglin 11y agoWe just released an automatic Parse data importer for Parse users who are switching to OneSignal: https://onesignal.com/parse https://onesignal.com/parse

- jkestner 11y agoWe started using Parse for the simple push notifications, stayed for the DB. Also had looked into Urban Airship but it's several times more expensive. I do want to pay for a service so it doesn't go away, but at those enterprise prices I'm definitely better off setting up my own APNS server.

- skalla 11y agoHey, we are migrating from Parse and planning to use PubNub. With parse, 1. we use channels to subscribe. 2. All the cross platform thingy like iOS/Android/Windows is managed by Parse. I have a couple of questions. 1. Do you have a way to upload all the channels+device tokes and stuff that we can extract from Parse? 2. What does the "Daily Active Devices" - 100 for Free tier mean? Does it have to do with Push notifications? because we are NOT using it for realtime connections. We will have about 7-8 thousand devices registered and < 1 million push notifications. So are we still under the Free tier?
