Is Apple Push notification using APNS free of cost?

We are planning to develop the push notification service for a telecom operator. But I haven't got any information whether the APNS push service is free of cost or should we make any payment?

My questions are,

  1. Should I pay for using the APNS push service?
  2. If operator want to sent push notification to millions of subscribers, should we pay to Apple or is it absolutely free? If not free, please share the URL where payment details are available.
  3. Is there any limit for the number of notification sent or the number of subscribers?
Solution

  • Apple does not charge a separate fee for utilizing the push notification service.

    Your only cost is a server that will be sending the push notifications to Apple. There are third-parties that provide this servers and there is a fee for that.
