Look for an in-app chat SDK recommendation. I have to switch away from layer

2 points by parthibakumar 6y ago ↗ HN

I was using Layer (www.layer.com), but their monthly plans just went up drastically, and it would break the bank for me to stay with them.

Can anyone recommend any other Chat SDKs?

I'm one of the founders of TalkJS (https://talkjs.com).

TalkJS has transparent pricing, polished out-of-the-box chat UI components, robust infrastructure and a best-in-class email/sms/push notification system.

We're a bit less low-level than Layer, so if you built lots and lots of custom code on top of Layer then we might not be the easiest company to switch to. At the same time, if your use ase fit the default TalkJS chat UIs well, then you're live in just a few hours.

Curious what you think!

Layer decided to shut down all operations, you can migrate your data from layer to MirrorFly(https://www.mirrorfly.com/layer-alternative.php) chat solution without any data loss. Run your overall operation in the same application with upgrades in features, design and performance.
