  "price": "Free Build tier: 1,000 MAU and 100 concurrent connections for chat, 333,000 participant-minutes/mo for video, plus $100 first-month credit. Free for makers under 5 team members and under $10k monthly revenue. Chat Start plan $399/mo annual ($499 monthly) for 10,000 MAU",
  "tier": "mixed",
  "pick": false,
  "what": "Managed SDK suite spanning chat, activity feeds, video and moderation, with polished pre-built UI components for React, iOS, Android and Flutter. Chat bills on monthly active users while video bills on participant-minutes. Includes automated moderation and a review dashboard rather than leaving policy enforcement entirely to you.",
  "why": "For a chat or activity feed that looks finished on day one — threads, reactions, typing indicators, read state, moderation queue — instead of six months building chat UI. The makers exemption keeps genuinely small projects at zero.",
  "warn": "The step from the 1,000-MAU free tier to $399/mo for 10,000 MAU is the steepest cliff in this category. MAU counts anyone who connects, so a public public chat bills for lurkers who never type a word.",
