How was TruePush Started
Ravi and Manoj realized that push notifications have a fast-growing market. The duo did thorough research and found there are no free products in the market for push-notifications. This made them think about introducing a push notification service free of cost, which would help users save money and time. Being a free tool, it soon gained good momentum and a lot of sign-ups.
We launched on product hunt in Jan 2019. The response was great. We had 400 + signups in a day after product hunt launch.

TruePush - Revenue Model
TruePush is currently providing the push notifications services free of cost and will continue to offer it for free forever. As far as the revenue model is concerned, it plans to monetize in the future from one of these ways-
- As Google does, they may connect the cookie data of users to advertising partners. However, the company ensures that any personal information of the client is not used or shared with anyone.
- They may add more re-engagement tools to TruePush and charge a low price from its users on other add-ons and leave Push Notifications feature for free, just like now.

As said by Manoj, TruePush did face many challenges, but the product market fit was never an issue for them. There were many incidents when the team had to move that extra mile for getting things done.
Manoj recalls, "One day we shared our product on ProductHunt 9th with no expectations. The team in festive mood was heading into Sankranti/ Pongal vacation and to our surprise, TruePush was trending on number 3 on ProductHunt and with close to 900 % increase in our numbers, we suddenly had to cancel our holiday plans and continued to work from office for the next few days."
