Pushover costs money now? Wat?

So I don’t understand what happened but I made a pushover account forever ago and it is still working without me paying anything. Someone made one and I integrated it and now it says the free trial is over. What free trial? Wtf?

One time fee of 5.00 per app platform up to 10K msg’s a month.

But I’ve never paid that before when was this a thing and why was my original account not charged?

It’s been a thing for years now. I don’t remember how many exactly, but almost certainly over 5 years and probably longer than that.

Their support article is from 2019, but I remember having to pay long before that.

Huh. Well I mean idk. I never paid. So I guess I just got away with it lol.

Or the fee was added after you signed up.

I am using a service that I find indispensable. It makes creating Alexa devices in NodeRed ridiculous easy. The creator has never asked for money, but I wish he would because that would be an assurance that he will continue running the server. (I do, however, support him with a monthly donation as a Github sponsor).

I’ve been using Pushover since 2016 and had to pay for the apps back then. :man_shrugging:

Or it’s a $5 one off and you forgot you paid it.
