Deal Highlights
What Is Pusher?
Pusher provides realtime APIs for web and mobile apps — channels for pub/sub messaging, presence for tracking online users, and triggers for server-to-client notifications. For startups adding live features (notifications, chat, live updates) without building WebSocket infrastructure, Pusher provides the simplest realtime API available — often requiring fewer than 10 lines of code to implement.
Pusher has been the entry-level realtime API since 2010 and remains the most straightforward option for teams that need basic realtime features without the complexity of Ably''s guaranteed delivery model.
What''s Included
- $500 in Pusher credits — Channels (pub/sub), Presence (who is online), Beams (push notifications), and ChatKit functionality.
