This messaging application is a side project. Its main goal, once completed, will be to compete with hosted messaging platforms like Sendbird. Personally, I find these messaging platforms to be too expensive. Therefore, my aim is to implement this system to help startups integrate a messaging system quickly and affordably.

When considering a communication solution for your application, cost-efficiency and scalability are key factors. Sendbird, a popular option, charges $499 per month to support 500 users connected simultaneously. In contrast, the application I'm developing offers a much more economical solution. For just $300 per month, I am designing it to handle 18,000 users connected at the same time. This means the service will not only offer a lower monthly cost but also support significantly more users, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to scale their user base without incurring prohibitive expenses. Choose the application I'm developing for a cost-effective and scalable communication solution.
