Building real-time chat using a vendor?

Question

I'm looking into the following vendors to build out peer to peer chat capabilities for my app:

Sendbird: https://sendbird.com/
TalkJS: https://talkjs.com/
Stream: https://getstream.io/
ChatKitty: https://chatkitty.com/

Does anyone have any experience implementing them? How did it go?

Nik Spyratos · Accepted Answer

I did an MVP at a job with TalkJS a few years ago. They're alright, but felt a bit pricey.

Sure! Let me know if you change your mind a want to do it in-house

Isaac Sultan · Answer

Thanks Nik, how did your company end up picking TalkJS over its competitors?

Price isn't a factor for us, given how core chat is to our app's experience

Isaac Sultan · Answer

Thanks, but we'd rather pick up something off-the-shelf to save the time

Víctor García · Answer

Something like this will work for you.
