Can you please give a better explanation of your business model. I read that you harvest cookie data - but to me that sounds incredibly offputting. What data do you collect and - exactly - how do you use it?

@mickc79 I want to use this but their lack of information and the lack attention to privacy concerns got me halted in one place.

@mickc79 @dinuka_jayasuriya Hello. Please visit our privacy policy for more information. It's on our homepage. You can share your concerns, we will address it accordingly.
Manoj Surya
@mickc79 @dinuka_jayasuriya you can check the above thread for clear explanation.
Jeremy
@mickc79 @dinuka_jayasuriya @ravi_vaka2 maybe answer the question publicly and not direct someone to a privacy policy. Be open, transparent.

This is awesome! How does this compare to OneSignal, which I believe is also free? Pros and cons to switching? I'm sure TruePush will continue to grow in feature, just curious what they are now. Any support for A/B testing, storing and filtering by custom variables, and using those unique variables or custom JavaScript variables/functions in messaging? Ex: ```"Hi " + firstName || (gender == "M" ? "dude" : "dudette") + "! Welcome to the team!" + daysUntil(2019-05-01) > 0 ? (" Beta launches in " + daysUntil(2019-05-01) + " days! See you soon!") : (daysUntil(2019-05-01) == 0 ? (" Beta launch starts today! Check your email for more info!") : (daysUntil(2019-05-01) < 0 ? (" Our beta is live! Check your email for more info on how you can join the UX revolution!") : ""))```

They use your location (up address ) and other smartphone metrics and sell it to buyers. Same thing OneSignal does.
Manoj Surya
Hey @androidlove We will not touch your user data. We will monetize anonymous data and behavior but not sell them. We have put the same in our landing page already. Hope this helps.
Ishaan Bahal
The features look amazing and this could be a good alternative to Firebase cloud messaging, but a couple of questions. 1. The website says it'll pickup cookie data for a revenue stream, but what about Mobile apps? What data do you plan to pick from there? Are you planning on picking out the shared KV pairs and local databases? 2. I couldn't find any SDKs or APIs on the website, haven't signed up yet, was just looking for some docs, are those available yet? And if yes, are you planning on supporting flutter? 3. Any plans for a wordpress plugin in future?
Manoj Surya
@ishaanbahal 1) for mobile we will pick advertiser id. We take location, device information and couple of basic information for showing analytics and creating pre-defined segments for you. we wont take KV pairs or local database. However if we get access to any information you give access to us explicitly but we wont touch that data for monetizing and it will be solely used for your usage., we haven't updated the page yet since we are rolling for mobile in few days. 2) Will be updating be the page, we may support it flutter in the future but we don't have plans on it yet. 3) You can expect a wordpress plugin soon
Ishaan Bahal
@manojsurya3110 alright, one more doubt, say my app doesn't do a location lookup, doesn't ask for permission from Android or iOS, then would integrating the SDK force me to do so? Also, what do you mean by access to information explicitely? Is there a way we can control what gets shared and what doesn't? And how are you anonymizing the data you collect? Apologies for so many questions, but I feel these also need to be answered on your website FAQs.
Chris Scott
This looks great! How is it free??
Ravi Vaka
@chrisgscott Hello Chris, We are advertisers and we use cookie data to make our engine efficient. Hence, we're free.
Chris Scott
@ravi_vaka But you don’t place ads within our push notifications?
Ravi Vaka
@chrisgscott No, We would not !
anand muglikar
@chrisgscott @ravi_vaka What's in it for you then?
Manoj Surya
@chrisgscott @ravi_vaka @muglikar we already put it on our landing page about it in the faq's, please visit for same. But in short we do this for cookie data but again its anonymous data
Manoj Surya
We released and launched our Wordpress plugin a month ago. Feel free to download and use it. https://wordpress.org/plugins/tr...

As Push notifications becoming default now in every mobile app, also in web with PWAs becoming, TruePush can make life easier for developers and early-stage products.

Pros:

1. Being free forever is huge plus 2. Super easy on-boarding for new project

Cons:

Automated triggers missing

Manoj Surya
Thanks for the feedback, Automated triggers will be released in few days.
Joe Ward
Do you sell data that identifies the client website using your service?
Manoj Surya
@joewardpr We make use of user cookie data which is anonymous. We won't touch any other data otherwise.
Preetam Nath
@joewardpr @manojsurya3110 What does cookie data comprise of?
Ravi Vaka
@joewardpr @manojsurya3110 @hipreetam93 Mostly Anonymous data. Browser info, last login etc.
Raghu KLN

similar products charge significant money and apps which say that they are free are now limiting the users per month.

Pros:

free forever unlike other apps, awesome support, pipeline features looks very solid

Cons:

none as of now, but shall update as and when I come across

Manoj Surya
Thanks for the review Raghu. Appreciate your feedback. Er are coming with more soon, hope you will love them equally
Chandrakanth Kollu

Great work guys. Very happy with the tool!

Pros:

Wow! Awesome features for free. Must have tool for every marketer!

Cons:

Nothing. Will add If I find any in future!

Manoj Surya
Thank you, glad you liked the product
Ravi Vaka
Thanks Chandra. Appreciate it 😉
Emir Ercan Ayar
I've tested this, it opens a pop-up to ask for the notifications instead of the actual web page. Is it the expected behaviour?
Ravi Vaka
@eercanayar Emir. Didn't quite get that..can you share a screenshot and email us on help@truepush.com
Jeremy

I they need to be transparent

Pros:

It seems like a great system for push

Cons:

They say "cookie data" but then don't say what's all contained there.

Manoj Surya
Hi Jeremy, while we are updating those to keep everything transparent , you can shoot me an email at manoj@truepush.com and will send you the details, hope it helps. But mostly they would contain(browser details,website visit details, clicks of notification, location, etc,. which are more demographics in nature). This information also helps you to segment your customers and see analytics in your dashboard. Thanks for liking our system as you put in pros. I hope you will like our product when you use it.
Hari
Do you have any idea or in depth requirements for Euro GDPR. none of those concerns are clearly mentioned in the Privacy docs. Also the Privacy docs is not easily visible on the website. I was looking for something like this, but don't know if I can trust the whole business model 😟
Manoj Surya
@p_shrihari Hey Hari, we were not GDPR complaint then, we made changes so it would help GDPR clients to give specific permissions based on requirement. You can see GDPR code in settings->GDPR Tab. We are working hard to reach out customers needs. We also wrote why truepush is free( https://www.truepush.com/blog/in... ). We are working hard to accommodate the tool for wider audience in our best possible way. Rest assured, you can trust our business model and we are here to stay and help more websites, apps and makers to derive more value from TruePush
Kumara Krishnan
Any plans to support WNS? - (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us...)
Manoj Surya
@_kumarakrishnan Hey Krishnan, we have plans for it and in the roadmap, it may be couple of months or more though. We are looking to approach these as soon as possible
Praveen Dorna
Amazing product @manojsurya3110 ! Will be of great help to startups considering push notifications have become a mainstream way of targeting customers by most companies. Good job and look forward to more updates.
ASK CHAITANYA REDDY

Out team is loving how Truepush is helping us engage our users better and improve the overall metrics of engagement. Kudos to the the team

Pros:

Easy to use and very user friendly UI.

Cons:

Didnt fine any yet

Manoj Surya
Thank you chaitanya, glad to know
Mario nias
PLEASE: I don't understand why no one offers the following functionality: "optin-form". Like for email... It would be so powerful that all marketers would pounce on your application! the hardest part with notifications push is convincing people to sign up, if you can make that easier: you win. This is truly a Game changer. Are you going to offer this feature? (a beautiful optin form , big popup...) if yes, when ? @ravi_vaka
Manoj Surya
@ravi_vaka @djal_nias Hey Mario, we have opt-in forms already. We offer 6 types as of now. Please sign up and check once. Happy to talk more , I am on manoj@truepush.com
Russell Lowry
Nice product. Sounds similar to OneSignal, am I correct? @manojsurya3110
Ravi Vaka
@russell_lowry ; Yes Russell. We're a alternative to OneSignal.
Manoj Surya
@russell_lowry you are right Russell, they are restricting you at 30k users though.
