Boxcar Large Scale Developer Push Service Available to All Developers
ProcessOne and Boxcar have been building push services for real-time notifications since the launch of the push feature on iOS. Our core business has been since that time to deploy large scale notification services for carriers, broadcasters, ensuring very high availability, very fast delivery in a cost-effective way.
A massive scale push service now available for everyone
This service has only been available for select large scale customers until now.
We are opening it today to everyone, including smaller developers. It offers many benefits that can attract startups and smaller brands:
- Our SDK is tailored to be very small and lightweight. We do not want you to build a huge stack of services you will likely not use to plug on our platform.
- Our platform is cost-effective and offers fixed priced plan for unlimited number of messages. Our technology allow us to control the numbers of workers, redundancy, speed, message priority in realtime. Thus, you pay a fixed price for an unlimited number of messages and can select which delivery speed you need considering your number of devices and the criticity of your typical notifications.
- We can grow and scale with you. The same platform works for small companies to huge broadcasters.
- Our platform offers unique realtime analytics feature to see how people are reacting to a given notification in realtime.
- Our platform goes beyond standard phone push notification with an in-app notification channel. You can receive notifications from within your app that do not need to go through Apple or Google services.
- Our platform supports iOS and all flavour of Android push services (Google GCM, Amazon ADM, Nokia Push Messaging).
What’s the deal ? What’s the plan ?
We have refactored a large portion of our large scale service and added self-service configuration and credit card payment. You can freely create an account and setup your project. Once everything is working as expected in your mobile app, setup your credit card information (Using Recurly Payment system) and you are ready to go live.
At the moment pricing is very simple:
- Development plan is free (up to 200 devices).
- Startup / independant developers plans are as follow:
- 500 pushes per minute, unlimited monthly pushes and devices: 7 euros per month
- 750 pushes per minute, unlimited monthly pushes and devices: 30 euros per month
- 1000 pushes per minute, unlimited monthly pushes and devices: 100 euros per month
- 1500 pushes per minute, unlimited monthly pushes and devices: 200 euros per month
We can of course handle much larger scale to suit the needs of larger corporations, broadcasters and carriers, with delivery speed up to 3 million pushes per minute.
However, the higher plans need to go through setting invoice / payment system as monthly price goes higher than usual charges on credit card. Contact us and we can make that happen.
We did not yet made available all our features, like customer segmentation or geotarget push, but those features are coming in due time.
You can expect the team to be helping on a daily basis to improve FAQ, documentation and the console itself to help you understand push notifications and make sure you make the best of it to grow your business.
If you are developer of an iOS and / or an Android application, please, go ahead and create your free developer account on Boxcar Developer Console.
