Product Updates
For publishers: As you know, GupShup currently allows a limited number of messages (4-8 per day) and limits the message length to 140 characters. Based on the feedback from the community GupShup will soon be reducing the message length, but increasing the number of messages allowed. Message posts will be restricted to 100 characters. The number of messages allowed per day will be increased to 6-12 per day.
For subscribers: On web and GPRS, subscribers will have unlimited access to all messages on all groups. Subscribers on SMS will get a limited number of free incoming messages per day and after that will have to pull additional messages by sending a GET message. These limits vary based on the activity level of the subscriber.
Games and Applications
