You self host their enterprise solution? I think you're missing the point, migrate to the community edition. We pay 0 (but contribute with donations).

I don't think we are missing the point, we were looking for a Slack alternative and found one. They charged a bit to give you push notifications, now they charge more of it. If not having push notifications were an option for us, we'd have simply downgraded.

you can also just host your own push proxy service using their open source code...

Then you also need to build and distribute Android and iOS apps for your employees. Congrats, you now have a significantly larger project than "put Mattermost on a server and update it occasionally".

I am using it on both cloud-hosted (work) and self-hosted (friends chat) servers.

Push notifications work fine, the mattermost app that's already on the android and iOS stores work fine, they have done for the 3-4 years I've been using it.

Self hosting Mattermost community edition with the Mattermost apps in Google play and apple app store works fine.

We've been using the free (Team plan) self hosted edition with push notification for free. Am I missing something?
