Why switch from “OneSignal”?

OneSignal excels at broadcasting to subscribers. VISU starts at the first scan and pays off at purchase — with rewards, referrals and offline→online journeys built in.

✗

Requires web/app opt-ins (and often SDK setup) before any reach

✗

No QR-native rewards or multi-layer referrals out of the box

✗

Limited geofence + visit-frequency rules tied to real-world scans

✗

No outcome marketplace for verifiable QR traffic
