# Soketify

> Managed WebSocket infrastructure and a drop-in Pusher replacement. It speaks the Pusher Channels protocol, so the official Pusher SDKs work unchanged, and it bills flat monthly tiers ($0 to $299 per month) instead of charging per message. One global endpoint, no cluster or region to select.

Last reviewed: 2026-08-21. Full corpus in one file: https://soketify.com/llms-full.txt

Key facts, if you only read this file:

- Protocol: Pusher Channels, implemented end to end. Client and server SDKs are the official Pusher ones, unmodified.
- Migration cost: three lines of configuration (`wsHost` and `forceTLS` on the client, `host` on the server). No application code changes.
- Endpoints: ws.soketify.com for WebSocket, api.soketify.com for REST.
- Pricing: flat monthly tiers, Free $0, Indie $9, Startup $19, Scale $59, Scale-1 $149, Scale-2 $299. No per-message billing, no overage fees.
- Free plan: 200 concurrent connections, 6,000,000 messages per month, 3 apps, 100 KB maximum event payload, no credit card.
- Channel types: public, private, encrypted, presence, cache.
- No message persistence: undelivered messages are not replayed, matching Pusher.
- Not self-hostable; it is a managed service.
