OneSignal is a widely used service for sending push notifications. The onesignal-node package is a Node.js client for the OneSignal API, similar to @firebase/messaging in that it allows sending notifications to users. However, it's not tied to Firebase and works with OneSignal's own service, offering a broader range of features specific to notification delivery and user engagement.
Pusher is a service that focuses on building real-time applications with capabilities like WebSockets. The pusher-js package is their JavaScript client that allows for real-time bi-directional communication between web servers and clients. While it offers real-time messaging capabilities, it's more focused on application signaling and less on push notifications compared to @firebase/messaging.
The web-push package is a Node.js library for sending notifications using the Web Push protocol. It supports sending messages to any web push service, making it a versatile choice for web applications.
