Messaging SDK and Chat API for Mobile Apps and Websites
Couple of days ago I was doing some research to build / integrate chat module for one of our client’s app. The client wanted a simple chat application for their enterprise where each employee can chat easily with others in the company. Reinventing the whole wheel would cost a big fortune for developing and maintaining the technology. Running cost has to be kept as minimum as possible. After doing some searching and testing these are they platform I was really happy with. I have given my review on each platform and I hope it helps.
- Very strong platform
- Bot support
- So many vendors and app integration makes this platform very extendable
- Perfect platform for small team who work in DevOps mode
- If you are building custom App, no SDK available for iOS/Android
- No push notification for custom apps
- Very expensive if you need ingrate with large team.
- More focussed on Chat application
- Bot Support
- SDK available if you need to build your custom App for iOS and Android
- Push notification support
- Free model available and if you need enterprise options and more users you can pay for the same.
- More like SendBrid
- Looks more mature than Sendbird
- SDK available if you need to build your custom App for iOS and Android
- Push notification support
- Only 30 days trial available then only paid version.
One more QuickBlox and I didn’t have much time to explore this version.
