The best option here is to get a 'lite node' which is custodial, but easy to try out. The user gets some sats to start and can message immediately. The message content is always encrypted on the phone so meta data is on our server, but content can't be read.

Hey stackers it's Paul from Sphinx & Stakwork, AMA

I was hoping I could just buy a node from you all. It’s asking a lot for new users to run a node before they’ve even seen what the app looks like, how well it functions, or what you can do with it. 

Maybe you can figure out a way to let people try the app out without running their own node. Maybe you can just make some product video tours instead.
