About

Stream's Chat API gives you fast, good-looking in-app messaging. Think Slack-style channels with threads, reactions, typing indicators, and file sharing. You can build and test for free, and their Maker program is aimed at small teams (fewer than five people, under $10k monthly revenue) getting started. Treat this as build/Maker access rather than an unlimited free production plan.
