FAQ

Message Crystal is a completely new way to send and receive notifications. Unlike the traditional notifications sent to your phone, Message Crystals give you final control over what you do and don't receive. Your time and attention are valuable. Everyone wants some of it. Use this powerful tool to take back control.

Yes. Get 1 Message Crystal or get a 1000 - you'll never pay a cent. And: we don't have in app purchases or subscriptions.

No. Message Crystal does not sell or display ads. In fact, here's where it really shines. If a particular Message Crystal you added to your collection starts sending you notifications that sure look like ads to you, the power is in your court: one tap makes the crystal go dark, blocking all future notifications. Two taps deletes it completely. This is not a happy event for our Message Crystal publishers, and they pay attention.

Yes. It's private. Your individual information is invisible to both Message Crystal publishers and all third parties.

Our revenue comes from high level information - reports, really - about the way Message Crystal holders such as yourself use their crystals. "Preference Reports" are the most useful and important. They show publishers which topics are popular and which aren't. This information is always delivered in a way that makes it impossible for the publishers to know anything about you as an individual. In fact, the Message Crystal publishers cannot even tell who specifically owns their crystals.

You can become a publisher, setup your own Message Crystal, and distribute it to as many people as you like at no cost as long as your monthly message volume stays under a million notifications per month. This free tier provides basic information: total number of subscribers (Message Crystal holders). It also lets you know the engagement metrics for each notification you send out. Access to Preference Reports and other analytic tools costs $10/month. We also sell tools that make the generation and tagging of notifications faster and easier for publishers.
