Needs advice

Braze

Iterable

and

Urban Airship

Hi there, we are a seed-stage startup in the personal development space. I am looking at building the marketing stack tool to have an accurate view of the user experience from acquisition through to adoption and retention for our upcoming React Native Mobile app. We qualify for the startup program of Segment and Mixpanel, which seems like a good option to get rolling and scale for free to learn how our current 60K free members will interact in the new subscription-based platform. I was considering AppsFlyer for attribution, and I am now looking at an affordable yet scalable Mobile Marketing tool vs. building in-house. Braze looks great, so does Leanplum, but the price points are 30K to start, which we can't do. I looked at OneSignal, but it doesn't have user flow visualization. I am now looking into Urban Airship and Iterable. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Flutter

MongoDB

and

Node.js

How I can build the ordering part in the uber clone project (I couldn't use (OneSignal)) because there's no Firebase in this project I used a Node.js for the backend, Flutter for the frontend and MongoDB so how I can send the provider request notification and receive the acceptance status.

thanks
