We offer Free plan but your Chat MAU will be limited to your service 1,000 and you’ll be limited to send only test broadcasting messages. Q. How is the Chat MAU calculated? A. Chat MAU (monthly active user) is calculated as any user who has sent or received a messaging data using SendBird platform during 30 days. Q. What happens if my app’s popularity explodes and I go beyond the Chat MAU quota? A. We don't have hard ceilings to prevent the Chat MAU rate from exceeding the pricing plan's quota (except for with the Sandbox option), but you will be charged for additional users beyond the stated limit.

User Testimonials
	SendBird	ZEGOCLOUD
Likelihood to Recommend	SendBird SendBird is well suited tool for those who are having sound technical knowledge and in-hand experience of app development and APIs. One might find it difficult to integrate if not having a technical team or a good technical background. Once implemented, using or management is not an issue. Startups having low budget might find it a little bit costier. Incentivized PS Pradyumn Singh Software Engineer Read full review	ZEGOCLOUD No answers on this topic
