Not a joke. It's just an attempt to summarize the usual fullcaps NO FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE legalese in a human readable way.
This looks really nice and something I'd be interested in, but I'm wondering how you arrived at the pricing model. $49 for 100 conversations seems steep to me and not something I could afford for smaller projects. So if I have 100 users who each have one conversation, is that considered 100 conversations? If I have two users talking with each other, is that one conversation? I looked through the FAQ but can't quite u…
Thank you! To answer the user/conversation question: > two users talking with each other, is that one conversation? Yes. And thanks for asking, this means it's not clear and we will have to add this.
Love this idea, but the price is just way too expensive. Anyone know of an open source alternative?
That pricing seems insane :o. Even on the lite setup, each conversation would need to have $2 in value, on the standard plan it would need $2.50 in value (I know there is an increase in features but an increase in price per conversation as well?).

Hey there, it's Egbert from TalkJS. Thanks for the feedback! While I disagree that the pricing is insane, you and other commenters here made me realize that maybe we presented it badly.

Also, I forgot to answer your question. Indeed the 10 cents is per conversation. A conversation can last as long as you want and is only counted once (we charge for a conversation when the first message is sent in it).
