Where to store xamarin forms chat messages

Hi, I need to implement a chat service in my app.
Before I get too far on this, I would like to ask for an opinion on where to store chat messages.

My options so far are:

  • Twilio chat

  • My own DB

There are pros and cons, Twilio chat costs money (I wish, but I don't know if the app will pay for itself), while my own server would involve a lot of API calls to my server and DB space (where i can always delete old messages tho).

Are there any other options? This is not a UI question or "how to implement a chat", but a pure logistics question..
What is everybody using to store messages and what's the best approach?

Thanks!
