Now, for most of us, this is not the option. The only problem with this solution is that you will have to build and publish your very own Rocket Chat mobile applications for both iOS and Google Android platforms. If for whatever reason you decide that you don’t wanna use their push notification gateway you have the option to run your gateway for free. Now go to your Administration settings and under Connectivity Services, register your server. To make this happen go to, register and initiate a registration for your server (workspace). I trust you understand at all we are doing is working hard to make rocket.chat grow better every day, and we do need your support to do it.Īnother point that needs to be said here is that in order for you to run with Rocket Chat gatway you will need to register your instance as well (as said in the post above). We are also looking into adding to the sponsorship plans, the full encryption of the push notification messages, a feature that was only available for the enterprise license, but we need to figure out some technical details about how to do so. Once we gather data from registered servers and you know how much you are really using, we can take the informed discussion about the limits. I have already stated that admins will have had the reports about their usage and trends for months before we finally decide and enforce any cap.īased on the feedback here, rather than just using just the statistics we collected by counting unique sources hitting the server, we tried to discard test and demo servers from the calculation by removing all sources with less than 100 push sent per month and sources that only hit the service for a short period. The reason we are asking servers to register now, and not imposing any limits, is exactly because we don’t have enough data about usage profile to be able to confidently determine what are the right ranges. and splitting the sponsor plans into 2:Īnd let me please explain why I use the word proposed: On July 23rd Gabriel Engel posted this on the Rocket Chat forum: UPDATE: We are changing the *proposed* free push notification limit from 1k/month to 5k/month. I think this is a bad move but on the other hand, I understand the need for Rocket Chat team to move in this direction. So for five dollars a month you will get 10,000 notifications 5000 for free, and 5000 paid. The question on everybody’s mind is how much will push notifications cost? How much for how many?Īt the moment, the price for a push notifications is US$5 per month for extra 5000 push notifications per month, or US$10 per month for extra 10,000 push notifications per month. We were also promised that Rocket Chat administrators will get a panel that can tell them utilization of the notifications on their self hosted instances.Īs a result, this will give us a better understanding of our overall utilization and we can then decide whether or not we will have to pay for push notifications or not. Luckily, the decision has been made to increase the number of free notifications from 1000 to 5000 notifications per month. Roughly that is about 30 or so notifications per day, which in my humble opinion, is nothing. The problem with monetizing push notifications is the fact that they have decided to limit free push notifications to 1000 notifications per month per instance. Now, this change shouldn’t come as a surprise considering that this was announced back in January 2019. If you are unaware, Rocket Chat team has decided to monetize the push notifications for self-hosted instances. This article will reflect on the upcoming changes regarding push notifications. I highly recommend it to almost everybody I know, and personally have multiple instances running. Latest info on push limitations for self-hosted instancesįor over two years I have been using Rocket Chat as my collaboration platform of choice. UPDATE - Roll out of 5000 pushes/month limit has been postponed until Noveber 16, 2020.
