Pusher estimates are based on published Pusher Channels pricing. Actual costs may vary. Soketify pricing is exact as listed.
// Methodology
How we calculate Pusher costs
01
Pusher Channels charges based on two axes: concurrent connections and messages per day (converted here to monthly). We map your usage to their published tier pricing.
02
Soketify pricing is flat monthly, with no per-message fees. We map your usage to the smallest plan that covers your connections and message volume.
03
These are estimates based on published pricing as of 2026. Pusher's enterprise and custom pricing requires a sales call, so we show "Contact" for usage beyond the Business tier.
// Questions
Frequently asked questions
The calculator maps your concurrent connections and monthly messages onto published Pusher Channels tier pricing, converting daily message allowances to monthly, then maps the same usage onto the smallest Soketify plan that covers it. Pusher figures are estimates from public pricing; Soketify figures are the exact list prices.
Pusher's default maximum event size is 10 KB. Above that you need its Large Messages add-on, which costs extra, and above 256 KB per message Pusher does not deliver the event at any price. Soketify includes 100 KB on Free and up to 4 MB on Scale-2 at no extra charge, so the Soketify column does not move.
The inputs are yours and both columns come from published list prices, so you can check them against pusher.com/channels/pricing and soketify.com/pricing. Where Pusher requires a sales call the calculator shows Contact rather than inventing a number, which is the case where the comparison is genuinely unknown.
