I managed to develop an application with chat and video conferencing thanks to CometChat.
I managed to develop an application with chat and video conferencing thanks to CometChat.
Pros
The documentation, the available examples, and the great variety of integration with different programming languages, and the sub-integration with different frameworks guide you on the way to integrate chat and video conferencing in your application.
Cons
They need to delve into the methodologies of each framework since even if they propose a pre-made visual interface, it does not comply with the flow of the framework (Ionic-Angular-Capacitor App). It takes a long time to achieve a perfect adaptation.

Great for Wordpress Apps

It helped us create an online chat community without using Buddypress or an external social network.
It helped us create an online chat community without using Buddypress or an external social network.
Pros
Enables Wordpress products to offer a light community without heavy coding.
Cons
The UX design could use some work. My staff has to work on it so and added time to our product development. Its over priced for the value and now there's new competitors now that are way cheaper.

Changed Business Model
Reviewed on 2019/01/31
Pros
Relatively easy to use.
Intergrates with many platforms.
Cons
They recently changed their business model and now the plugin that I purchased (8 months ago) is not supported. If I want CC on my dating website I have to $$ monthly.
Customer service is slow. It takes a min (usually) of 2 days to hear back from them and then a couple of days after that to solve the problem.
