Comparison
OneSignal vs PushEngage
OneSignal and PushEngage are both mature web-push platforms with free tiers and paid plans priced around subscriber counts. The real difference tends to be in ecosystem breadth (OneSignal also covers mobile/email/SMS) versus WordPress/e-commerce-friendly workflows (PushEngage).
Choose OneSignal if…
Choose OneSignal if you also need native mobile push, in-app messaging or email/SMS from the same platform, or plan to scale to a very large subscriber base.
Choose PushEngage if…
Choose PushEngage if web push is your only channel and you want e-commerce-oriented templates (cart abandonment, price-drop alerts) out of the box.
Where InstantPWA fits
Neither tool solves the install/home-screen moment — both assume the visitor is already reachable via a push permission in the browser. InstantPWA sits upstream: it grows the pool of visitors who install your PWA and enable notifications in the first place, and can hand off to either platform for the actual sending.

Is OneSignal free?
OneSignal has a free tier with usage limits; paid plans scale with subscriber count and added channels. Check onesignal.com/pricing for current tiers.
Does PushEngage work outside WordPress?
Yes — PushEngage offers a JS snippet for any site in addition to its WordPress plugin.
Can I use both at once?
Not typically for the same push channel — you would pick one as your push subscriber-of-record, since both manage the same browser push subscription.
