What CometChat does

Provides chat, voice and video calling that developers embed in web and mobile apps through UI kits, SDKs, APIs or a no-code widget.

CometChat supplies chat, voice calling and video calling that developers add to their own web or mobile product. The homepage lists UI kits, SDKs and APIs for React, iOS, Android and Flutter, no-code integrations for pre-built platforms, and a no-code widget that can be embedded on any website. Custom builds use the SDKs and UI kits.

Messaging covers one-to-one, group and broadcast conversations, and calls offer screen sharing and presentation mode. According to the homepage, moderation, analytics and notifications are included across every product, and a multi-tenant setup lets a single backend serve several brands or customers. The pricing page divides these by plan: Basic lists push notifications and basic moderation, while email and SMS notifications, in-depth insights, AI rule-based moderation, multi-tenancy and HIPAA / BAA appear under Advanced.

Pricing starts with a free Build plan for development, limited to 100 users, with no credit card required. Basic is shown at $239 per month billed yearly, and Advanced at $359 per month billed yearly. The page has a pay monthly / pay yearly toggle, but the monthly-billed figures are not visible in the page text, so they are not given here. Both paid plans are priced by monthly active user tier and charge overage of $0.10 per MAU and $1 per extra concurrent connection. Enterprise pricing starts from 10k MAU and goes through sales.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Free Build plan with no credit card required, for development and testing
  • SDKs, UI kits and APIs for React, iOS, Android and Flutter, plus a no-code widget
  • Chat, calls, moderation, analytics and notifications come from one vendor, per the homepage
  • Messages per month and message storage are listed as unlimited on every plan
  • Multi-tenancy, email and SMS notifications, in-depth insights and HIPAA / BAA are listed under Advanced

Cons

  • Build plan is limited to 100 users and must be replaced by a paid plan to go live
  • Basic lists only push notifications and basic moderation; email/SMS and in-depth insights need Advanced
  • Overage of $0.10 per MAU and $1 per concurrent connection applies on Basic and Advanced
  • Message retention is 6 months; extending it costs extra on Advanced and Enterprise
  • Enterprise pricing is not published, and monthly-billed prices for Basic and Advanced are not visible in the page text

Our take

CometChat fits teams that already have a web or mobile product and want chat or calling without building the backend themselves. A no-code widget and no-code integrations exist for lighter setups, while custom builds with SDKs and UI kits still call for developers. The free Build plan allows testing before launch, but going live requires a paid plan. Email and SMS notifications and in-depth insights sit on Advanced, not Basic. Costs depend on monthly active users and concurrency, overage applies, and Enterprise pricing needs a conversation with sales. Monthly-billed prices could not be read from the page text.
