Our take
Pick Daily if realtime / voice-AI teams who will stay on 10,000 free participant-minutes / month while they open a first Prebuilt room, then pay $0.004 per video participant-minute (volume from $0.0015*) once the free bucket is gone. Pick Pusher if realtime teams who will stay on Sandbox at $0 (200k messages / day, 100 connections) while they open a first Debug Console, then Startup at $49/month when they need 1
