- MongoDB: External database provider (e.g. MongoDB Atlas or VPS instance). Free tier is available; high traffic may require upgraded tiers.
- Payment Gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay): Charge standard merchant processing fees per transaction according to their merchant terms.
- Firebase (Google LLC): Used for Phone SMS Authentication and Push Notifications. Subject to Google Firebase pricing after free monthly quotas.
- Google Play Console & Apple Developer: Required for distributing mobile apps ( one-time for Google Play, /year for Apple Developer). Standard platform fees apply to in-app purchases.
