## The Hook

AnyCable is Action Cable that survives scale without pretending to be Pusher.

## What's Good

MIT. Open-source tier is Free. Delivery guarantees, presence, Action Cable protocol, multi-backend. Drop-in path for Rails apps that outgrew the default cable server.

## The Catch

Delivery guarantees + presence + Action Cable / multi-backend — not a Pusher-protocol server. Distinct from Socket.IO and Centrifugo. Pro and Managed exist; prices not reprinted here.

## Verdict

MIT Action Cable path. OSS tier is free; not Soketi, not Socket.IO.
