Maybe not important for everyone, but tambur supports SSL for all pricing plans.

As pusher we are big fans of WebSockets, afaik pubnub uses some sort of long-polling for their message-handling. I am not sure if pubnub provides a way to trigger presence events. Pusher also provides these features afaik by using separate channels for e.g. presence events (not sure though). In Tambur you enable presence-events, direct- and authenticated messages on the same channel (we call them streams). So we probably have more in common with pusher than with pubnub feature-wise, we just do things a little bit differently.

Well it's won you one customer here at least. I'm really sick of companies charging extra for security.

Tambur.io looks great.

Another alternative if someone is looking for hosted SSL on a free plan would be Buddy http://www.buddy.com/pricing/, free for the first half million API calls with unlimited applications. Pretty steep at $250/mo for 500,001-10MM calls.

we didn't know about buddy.com, but it is good to see a trend towards 'security included' ;)
