  Pusher Channels publishes a long pricing ladder from a free Sandbox (200K msg/day, 100
  connections) up through Startup ($49), Pro ($99), Business ($299), Premium ($499), Growth
  ($699), Plus ($899), Growth Plus ($1199), and a sales-led Enterprise tier. Each tier specifies
  a daily message cap and a concurrent-connection cap. Beams pricing is separate and based on
  monthly active devices.
