Is there a way to send free unlimited push notifications via FCM?

Presently I am using Pushbots to send notification to all my Android subscribers. However, to send unlimited messages I have to pay 500 USD/month.

My app is build in Cordova. Please let me know if there is another way to do the same.

Thanks in advance!

Use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), previous version known as Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), is completely free of charge. See Firebase Pricing:

Included Free

Analytics, App Indexing, Authentication, Cloud Messaging, Crash Reporting, Dynamic Links, Invites, Notifications & Remote Config

A quick Google search shows that there is an available FCM Cordova Plugin. Then you should go ahead and make use of Topic Messaging. From the plugin link:

Subscribe to topic

//FCMPlugin.subscribeToTopic( topic, successCallback(msg), errorCallback(err) );
//All devices are subscribed automatically to 'all' and 'ios' or 'android' topic respectively.
//Must match the following regular expression: "[a-zA-Z0-9-_.~%]{1,900}".
FCMPlugin.subscribeToTopic('topicExample');

The idea is quite simple. Simply have all your users subscribed to a topic, then send a message towards that topic, and it should be delivered to all of them.
