    We use Photon PUN -- we don't want to use Photon chat because, although it's super simple to implement, we can't afford the extra monthly budget-burden (and frankly, a bit shocked to see that it's not included with PUN at $95/mo).

    Since PUN is realtime, I am going to guess there's an asset out there that uses existing Photon PUN to do this, such as Dissonance for voice chat (it's SO good....).

    Let me know what you find!

    You can do your in-room chat with RaiseEvent or RPCs, if you want to.
    The Photon Chat solution is a separate subscription, because you can setup any number of channels (is not tied to rooms) and a separate logic and servers (which we run in this case).
    Are you sure you're going above the 100 CCUs quickly? Before you make money off the game?
    Also: Mail us about your case: developer@exitgames.com. Doing so makes sure the relevant people know about it.
