Chat SDK Pricing in 2026: The Real Cost from 0 to 10K MAU

Home > Blog > Chat SDK Pricing in 2026 The number on a chat SDK's pricing page rarely tells the full story about what you'll pay in month eight. What actually determines your cost curve is the billing unit underneath it — MAU, transactions, concurrent connections, or a flat tier — and that unit is set before you sign up, not something you can renegotiate once your product starts growing.

Android uses Java or Kotlin. iOS uses Swift. Flutter uses Dart. Web uses JavaScript/Typescript. Because there's no unified logic across these platforms, developers end up writing the same functionality — connect, authenticate, send a message, render a conver
