Radio Free Europe, a comprehensive news media organization with over 38 million listeners and readers, faced the challenge of building their own custom SDK for push notifications in 2017. It was a common build vs. buy scenario —allocating time and engineering resources to build a sophisticated push notification platform took away from RFE’s original intent on growing message quantity and increasing app retention.


Upon choosing to integrate with OneSignal, Radio Free Europe has witnessed a massive upsurge in subscribers, with a 35% increase in new opt-in rates and record-breaking click-through rates.

“Maintaining our own SDK was time and resource consuming, so we started searching for a partner in the market that could provide a superb push platform instead of building our own. That’s how OneSignal stepped in with the perfect solution” Arkday Pildes, Senior Product Manager
