Fair Usage Policy

Transparent guidelines for unlimited notifications on Premium tier

Effective Date: November 2025 • Last Updated: November 2025

Overview

PayPing MY offers unlimited notifications for Premium subscribers (RM 6.99/month) with a Fair Usage Policy to ensure quality service for all users while maintaining cost-effective operations.

💡 Why Fair Usage? Notification infrastructure has real costs (FCM, AWS, servers). Fair usage ensures we can keep the app running sustainably while offering unlimited notifications at an affordable price.

Bottom Line: Use Premium for unlimited personal/small business banking notifications. We won't bother you unless usage suggests bots or abuse. Our goal is to provide excellent service at an affordable price while preventing misuse.

What is Fair Usage?

The Fair Usage Policy ensures that all Premium users can enjoy unlimited notifications while preventing abuse, automation, or commercial misuse that could impact service quality and costs.

Sustainability & Infrastructure

Our Fair Usage Policy exists to ensure long-term sustainability:

Why Fair Usage Matters

  • Infrastructure Costs: Every notification uses FCM, AWS Lambda, and database resources
  • Sustainable Service: Fair usage prevents abuse while keeping subscription prices affordable
  • Quality for All: Prevents individual users from degrading service for everyone
  • 30k Guideline: Chosen to accommodate legitimate high-volume users while preventing abuse

The 30,000/month guideline provides comfortable headroom for legitimate business use while ensuring we can continue offering unlimited notifications at an affordable price for everyone.
