Pythonanywhere socketio alternative

so I recently got started with pythonanywhere but was bummed out to notice there is no web socket support. My question today isn't about possible hacks but instead possible alternatives. Is there a solutions I could use for free or close to free specifically for carrying out my socketio microservice? It would only need to setup the socket since I would be using socketio P2P functionality, therefore this server would only be a fallback in the eventuality the client's browser does not support WebRTC. All replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks

According to the socketio docs, it uses websockets when they're available, but uses long polling when websockets are not available. If you only need the connection for a short time, then long polling is fine on PythonAnywhere.
