PubNub is a real-time platform for developers who build in-app chat and live features. The Chat SDK includes typing indicators, presence, message history, read receipts, reactions, and threads. PubNub supports unlimited subscribers per channel. PubNub assigns each message a server-side timetoken. Messages on a channel form one ordered sequence. End-to-end delivery latency is sub-100ms. DAZN uses PubNub to power chat and Watch Party experiences for 10 million users. PubNub charges by Monthly Active Users or transactions, depending on the plan.
