Apple does not charge a separate fee for utilizing the push notification service.

Apple 不会对使用推送通知服务收取单独的费用。

Your only cost is a server that will be sending the push notifications to Apple. There are third-parties that provide this servers and there is a fee for that.

您唯一的成本是将推送通知发送到 Apple 的服务器。有第三方提供此服务器，并且需要付费。

Answer for your question 1,2 and 3 is: Apple doesn't charge you for APNS -but you have to maintain a server for pushing.

您的问题 1,2 和 3 的答案是： Apple 不会向您收取 APNS 费用 -但您必须维护一个服务器来进行推送。

Try these third parties for pushing,

试试这些第三方的推送，

• PushWizard (https://pushwizard.com), a free and unlimited push service.

• PushWizard ( https://pushwizard.com)，一种免费且无限制的推送服务。

It can send 250 million push messages / hourand PushWizard is free for unlimited devices,while other services can be very expensive if you have more, than 1 million users to reach at least ONCE per month.

它可以发送 2.5 亿条推送消息/小时，而且 PushWizard 对无限设备是免费的，而如果您有超过 100 万用户每月至少访问一次，则其他服务可能非常昂贵。

• Monopush (http://www.monopush.com), which provides a RESTful API and a lot of free push alerts up-front to handle the server infrastructure for you.

• Monopush ( http://www.monopush.com)，它提供了一个 RESTful API 和许多免费的预先推送警报来为您处理服务器基础设施。

您只需将几行代码复制并粘贴到您的应用程序内部，然后魔术就会开始。之后您就可以开始观看、分析、分类您的客户，您可以向他们发送推送消息以及资源消息。
