In addition to having a good system, the support is excellent.

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.

Reason for choosing CometChat

CometChat has more variety of integrations.

Reasons for switching to CometChat

Agora.io support is not as helpful as CometChat. And CometChat has more variety of integrations.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your kind words and your feedback.

Great for Wordpress Apps

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.

Reason for choosing CometChat

Its super easy to integrate on Wordpress.

Changed Business Model

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.
