What tools do you use for mobile push & email notifications?

I was hoping to find a single tool to send triggered emails but also mobile push notifications. For example we are adding functionality for users to select what days and times they want reminders to write in their journal and was looking to send triggered mobile push notifications for an Ionic app and if the user selected also email.

Is there a single tool that does this or better to separate email and in-app notifications?

    We built OneSignal for this exact problem. Our free version should do this well for you, or you can pick the paid version if you want some of the more advanced features.

    You can either trigger the push notifications or emails through our API from your server. Or, you can use our native SDK to schedule a notification to the current user at some point in the future. We support canceling scheduled notifications too, to keep that part of things easy. I'd love for you to try it out and let us know if you have any feedback!

      Awesome thanks, at first glance this is indeed what I was looking for. Will share with our dev and dive into the docs. thank you!

    I use Braze for this purpose at my day job. Firebase has some functionality like this as well I believe.

      Thanks! No prices listed on Braze - not a good sign for a bootstrapped app 😬

        Yeah I was going to say haha. Braze is probably expensive
