Solutions
Whether it's a standalone messenger, in-app chat between buyers and sellers, or support chat inside your product, real-time messaging has to be fast, reliable and private. We build chat features and full chat apps for Android, iOS and the web.
Types of chat
Buyer-seller, rider-driver or patient-doctor messaging inside an existing marketplace or service app.
Group channels, direct messages, file sharing and moderation for a closed community, institute or company.
Chat widgets and agent dashboards with assignment, canned replies and history, on your site and in your app.
Core features
How we'd build it
For many products, a hosted chat service gets you to launch faster, at a monthly cost per active user. For larger user bases or strict data rules, a custom Node.js and WebSocket back end can cost less over time and keeps data under your control. We'll compare both for your expected numbers before you decide.

FAQ
Can you add chat to our existing app?
Yes. We review your app and back end, then add chat as a module rather than rebuilding the app.
Is end-to-end encryption possible?
Yes, but it limits server-side features like search and moderation. We'll explain the trade-off for your use case.
