Our pricing check · 2026Free Build tier for development ($0/mo, all features, up to 100 users).
What will cost you money if you skim itThe pricing cliff is the honest headline: from a 100-MAU free tier straight to ~$239/mo is a brutal jump for an early-stage app, and users report plan structures changing under them — so model your MAU growth curve and the overage math before you architect around it.

Cost-trap flags — each with its evidence

🧮 Usage-metered — Credits, overages or percentage fees on top of the subscription
“Overages stack on top: $0.10 per MAU and $1 per concurrent connection beyond the 5%-of-MAU included allotment; messages and storage are unlimited, wi…”
🆓 Free tier — A genuinely free plan or version exists
“(2026) Free Build tier for development ($0/mo, all features, up to 100 users).”

Genuinely good for

product teams that want proven in-app text/voice/video chat with SDKs for every major framework, without building messaging infrastructure themselves

Skip it if

your app is pre-revenue with growing users (the free-to-paid cliff will hit mid-growth), or chat is peripheral enough that a support widget covers it

The honest comparisonStream or Sendbird — the premium chat-SDK peers — all three are MAU-priced; compare at YOUR projected MAU including overages, not at the entry tier

Work at CometChat? This page is yours the moment you claim it.

Write your own description and it appears at the top of this page, in your words, free — no fee during beta and no strings. What does not change: our research stays exactly where it is, underneath, and you cannot edit it. That is the point of the page. Two honest caveats before you bother: our audience is still modest and growing, and the outbound link is nofollow ugc, so this is not an SEO play.

We have pre-filled the name, site and category we already have on file, so the only thing left to write is the description. A claimed page also drops the noindex we keep on research-only pages.
