Hi Alan, when we built Pusher Chatkit we took into consideration developers like you who are looking to introduce their first chat functionality into an app. As you noted we include a very generous free tier (1,000 Monthly Unique Identified Users, and all core features of our business plan) to cover implementing and scaling up a chat experience. It's good to note that users are only considered active if they have authenticated and established a session.

Use cases can be varied, so if you have something particular in mind where you need to scale more incrementally I would suggest reaching out to our sales team so we can find the right solution for you.
