Delivering chat messages in realtime is key to a smooth online experience. Ably's [serverless architecture](/docs/platform/architecture) eliminates the need for you to manage websocket servers. It automatically scales to handle millions of concurrent connections without provisioning or maintenance. Ably also handles all of the edge-cases around delivery, failover and scaling.

Despite the challenges of delivering these guarantees, Ably is designed to keep costs predictable.

You can choose between MAU-based (more predictable for a known number of users) or per-minute pricing (consumption-based, pay for what you use), depending on your needs.

Each room includes all task participants: customers and agents in support, buyers and sellers in marketplaces, players in games, team members in projects. Participants can join and leave as the task evolves. Access to message history and other features can be granted to all or select participants via capabilities.

With per-minute pricing, you will be charged per message, active room (active channel), and active connection. This pricing model is ideal if you have a large number of users who might not be active for a long time. Things like deliveries, support tickets, and marketplace transactions are all good examples of this.

With MAU-based pricing you will only be charged for the number of unique active users in the month (and ovarage if you go over the message limits). This pricing model is ideal if your users are very active throughout the month. Collaboration tools and some gaming scenarios are good examples of this. Paying per MAU is typically more predictable than per-minute pricing. Another use case for MAU-based pricing is if you are a platform and you also charge per MAU, to keep costs in sync with your own pricing model.

In task-oriented chat, each room is typically low throughput. Scaling comes by running as many rooms as you need at the same time. Ably handles everything from 1:1 conversations and small group discussions to [livestream chats](/docs/guides/chat/build-livestream) with the same reliability and scalability guarantees.
