Shame the are revising their pricing to remove free 1:1 chats.
- changdizzle 13y ago1:1 chats that go through our servers will be charged, if you've built before Aug 31st all 1:1 is free!
- matthewcford 13y agoTrue, however if you want to use the WebRTC API it'll be charged, even 1:1.
- changdizzle 13y agoIf you've started building before 8/31, all 1:1 is free, group will cost money Even if you haven't, all p2p 1:1 traffic is free
- sillysaurus2 13y agoThe reason this matters is because free 1:1 gives you a growth vector. Without it, you won't grow nearly as large. And growth is the all-important metric, not revenue.
- drivebyacct2 13y agoFortunately there are already a handful of signaling servers. Running an ICE server is trivial. It takes literally nothing to get a WebRTC chat up and running. If you multiplex in the browser, doesn't take any more work to have multi-peer conferencing. It you want to be nice to your user and pull apart the streams and combine and multiplex on the server, that takes more work and is totally worth paying for.
