FAQ

Questions you might be asking.

Yes. We implement the Pusher protocol on the wire. Any Pusher SDK - JS, PHP, Python, Ruby, .NET, Swift, Android - works without modification. Point it at wss.vask.dev and your existing channel/event/presence keeps working.
Every account starts on the Free Tier: 500,000 server broadcasts per month and 100 concurrent connections, shared across unlimited apps. No credit card. Upgrade when you need more headroom.
Nothing breaks. We don't throttle, drop messages, or block you. We email you, give you enough time to either right-size or move up a tier. We will never surprise-bill you mid-month.
