Maker
📌
We built Apinator because adding real-time features to a web app is still harder than it should be in 2026. You either manage your own WebSocket servers or pay a premium for hosted solutions that punish you as you grow.
Apinator is free to use. No credit card — just sign up and start building.
The core idea: you shouldn't need to think about WebSocket servers. You publish an event from your backend, your clients receive it.
All our SDKs are open source — JS, Node, Python, Go, PHP, Swift, and Kotlin. The service itself is hosted and managed by us so you get reliability without the ops burden.
To get started with Nextjs is very stright forward for example: https://apinator.io/for/nextjs
Happy to answer any questions — architecture, use cases, anything.
Rooting for your feedback 🙏
