What restrictions have you hit ?

Seeing their pricing page, mobile notifications for upto 10 users is too less.

But you mentioned similar...this is a discussion about message limits (and saml ?). Those are free for self hosted.

Push uses _their_ services. That's why it costs $$$. But you can build your own apns endpoint and plug into that at that volume

Push costs pennies. It's an arbitrary restriction.

If you want to run your own push for pennies all you have to do is compile the client yourself.

[emptysongglass]

I'm not going to recompile and redistribute a binary outside the Play Store.

[Volundr]

Then your piggybacking on their infrastructure. I don't think they are unreasonable. "It can be done for pennies, but I won't" sort of implies that it does indeed take more than pennies worth of effort.

[gtech1]

Then you pay for it. Nothing stops you

[emptysongglass]

That's precisely my point. It's an arbitrary rent-seeking restriction.

Publishing an app in popular app stores, for an organization, requires several $100 in annual fees. That’s before any mobile app is even published.
