Why Developers Choose SashiDo Over WonderPush
Complete backend with push vs push-only subscription service
Complete Backend Included vs Push-Only Service
WonderPush provides push notifications with marketing automation (segmentation, automation rules, A/B testing) but no backend infrastructure. You still need separate database, user authentication, APIs, server logic, file storage—multiple services. At 50K subscribers, WonderPush costs $99-149/mo just for push. SashiDo hosting from $4.95/mo includes push WITH complete Parse Server backend: MongoDB, user auth, Cloud Code, storage, APIs. At 50K users, pay $25-50/mo total. Get complete backend for less than WonderPush's push-only service. See our transparent pricing.
Direct APNs/FCM vs Platform Layer
WonderPush adds a platform layer between your app and native push services (APNs/FCM) for marketing automation features. GDPR-compliant EU hosting is a strength, but platform dependency creates potential delays and failure points. SashiDo uses direct APNs/FCM integration eliminating the middleman. Zero dropped from our infrastructure, sub-second latency. EU hosting available for GDPR compliance without sacrificing direct integration benefits. Real-time diagnostics show exact APNs/FCM error codes.
No Subscriber Pricing Traps
WonderPush charges per subscriber with tier pricing: free to 1K subscribers, then $49/mo (10K), $79/mo (25K), $99/mo (50K), $149/mo (100K+). Growth directly increases monthly bills regardless of send frequency. SashiDo charges for infrastructure usage (requests, database, traffic), not subscriber counts. Send to 10K or 100K users—same infrastructure cost if request volume is similar. Predictable scaling without subscriber-based pricing cliffs. Pay for actual usage, not arbitrary metrics.
Code-Based Flexibility vs Visual Builder Constraints
WonderPush provides visual automation builders and predefined triggers designed for marketing teams. Powerful for no-code users, but rigid for developers who need custom logic. SashiDo provides Cloud Code (JavaScript) for unlimited automation flexibility. Write any trigger logic, integrate external APIs, implement complex business rules—no visual builder constraints. Parse.Push.send() with MongoDB queries for targeting. Developers control everything via code. Faster iteration, unlimited customization.
MongoDB Queries vs Marketing Automation Segments
WonderPush provides marketing-focused segmentation: user properties, events, behavior patterns, automation rules. Good for campaigns, limited for complex product logic. SashiDo provides unlimited MongoDB segmentation on actual application data. Query any field in real-time: user relationships (social graphs), game progress (achievements, levels), subscription status (payment history), app behavior (feature usage)—anything in your database. Cloud Code for sophisticated triggers. Built for product teams, not just marketing.
Open Source with EU Hosting vs Proprietary Platform
WonderPush uses proprietary SDKs, platform-specific APIs, and subscriber data models. Migration requires SDK changes and subscriber data export (if supported). Vendor-dependent. SashiDo runs open-source Parse Server with standard MongoDB. Export entire database anytime, migrate to any Parse host, or self-host in EU for GDPR compliance. EU hosting available without vendor lock-in. Build with confidence, maintain data sovereignty.
Is WonderPush right for you?
WonderPush is a GDPR-compliant push notification service with EU hosting, marketing automation features (segmentation, automation rules, A/B testing), and subscriber-based pricing (free to 1K, then $49-149/mo tiers). It provides good developer docs, mobile and web SDKs, and focuses on privacy-first European market. However, WonderPush is push-only (no backend infrastructure), uses subscriber-based pricing that scales with growth, and provides marketing-focused features that may be overkill for product teams. For developers needing complete backend infrastructure with push notifications included, SashiDo provides better value: Parse Server hosting from $4.95/mo includes mobile and web push, MongoDB database, user auth, Cloud Code, APIs, and EU hosting option for GDPR compliance. 75%+ cost savings with complete backend vs push-only service.

Common Questions
How does SashiDo compare to WonderPush's GDPR-compliant EU hosting?
WonderPush emphasizes GDPR compliance with EU-based hosting (data stored in Europe). Good for European businesses with strict data residency requirements. SashiDo also offers EU hosting with 100% EU infrastructure option and GDPR compliance. Data stored and processed exclusively in European data centers. Both support GDPR, but SashiDo includes complete backend (database, auth, Cloud Code) not just push, at lower cost ($4.95/mo vs WonderPush's $49-149/mo tiers). See our transparent pricing for EU hosting details.
WonderPush has free tier to 1K subscribers—is that better than SashiDo?
WonderPush offers 1,000 free subscribers with limited features (basic push, basic segmentation). Good for small sites/apps getting started. SashiDo offers 10-day free trial with ALL features (unlimited push, complete backend). After trial, hosting starts at $4.95/mo. Key difference: WonderPush is push-only (you need separate backend); SashiDo includes complete backend (database, auth, Cloud Code, APIs, storage). At 5K users: WonderPush $49/mo (push only) vs SashiDo $4.95-15/mo (backend + push). Better long-term value with SashiDo.
Does WonderPush provide backend infrastructure or just push notifications?
WonderPush is a push-only service with marketing automation features (segmentation, A/B testing, automation rules). No backend infrastructure. You still need: database for app data, user authentication system, REST APIs for mobile apps, server logic for business rules, file storage for images/documents, analytics beyond push metrics. Build separately. SashiDo provides complete Parse Server backend: push notifications, MongoDB database, user auth, Cloud Code, file storage, REST/GraphQL APIs, real-time queries, analytics dashboard. One platform for complete app development.
Can I migrate from WonderPush to SashiDo without losing subscribers?
Yes. WonderPush uses standard APNs/FCM for push delivery. Migration steps: 1) Set up Parse Server push on SashiDo (15 min), 2) Export WonderPush subscriber data (if supported by their platform), 3) Import tokens into Parse Installation objects, 4) Replace WonderPush SDK calls with Parse.Push.send(), 5) Test delivery, 6) Sunset WonderPush. Standard push tokens are portable. Bonus: you get complete backend (database, auth, APIs) not just push replacement. See our migration guide guide.
What automation features does WonderPush have vs SashiDo?
WonderPush provides: Visual automation builder (no-code triggers), Segmentation engine (properties, events, behavior), A/B testing (visual editor), Automation rules (if X then Y), Marketing-focused workflows. Good for marketing teams without coding skills. SashiDo provides: Cloud Code (JavaScript for unlimited custom logic), MongoDB queries (segment on any field), Background jobs (cron scheduling), Webhooks (trigger external services), Custom triggers (write any logic). Code-based flexibility beats visual builder constraints. Better for developers who need product features, not marketing campaigns.
Is WonderPush better for GDPR compliance than SashiDo?
Both support GDPR compliance. WonderPush emphasizes EU hosting and privacy-first approach with data stored in Europe. Good for European businesses. SashiDo also offers 100% EU infrastructure option with data residency guarantees, GDPR-compliant data processing, and privacy controls. Advantage: SashiDo provides complete backend with GDPR compliance, not just push notifications. User auth, database, file storage all EU-hosted. Comprehensive GDPR solution vs push-only GDPR service. Same compliance, more features, better value.
