I wonder what that looks like fleshed out a little, though. Is that a mandatory or voluntary payment? And by paying for what they use is that per message or per month like a subscription?
Mandatory? And per month or year. Younger people might not remember but WhatsApp was $1/year (at least in the states.)
There shouldn't be anything wrong with expecting payment to pay for servers, etc. If it's free then you're the product right?

I do this but sadly not viable for everyone. It is a great option though.
