CometChat provides APIs, SDKs and ready-made interfaces for adding conversations to a product. It helps developers embed messaging and calls in marketplaces, communities, education platforms and other apps instead of building communications infrastructure from scratch.
What it does Add one-to-one, group and broadcast chat, attachments, search, notifications and voice/video calls with screen sharing. UI kits and visual builders accelerate integration; APIs and webhooks allow deeper customization. Moderation, analytics and multi-tenant controls support operations. Its broader platform also includes AI agents and campaigns. On-premises options are available, while CometChat Air is a separate self-hosted team messenger.
Pricing — checked 21 October 2026 (USD) Build is free for development/testing with 100 users and 25 concurrent connections, not production deployment. The chat pricing page displays Basic from $239/month and Advanced from $359/month, billed annually; costs vary by active-user tier. Standard paid concurrency is 5% of the tier's users. Listed overages start at $0.10/active user or $1/extra concurrent connection; if both apply, the higher charge is billed. Calling, agent credits, extended retention and some third-party AI features can cost extra. Enterprise is quoted and can move to a higher usage tier.
Their story Founded by twin brothers Anant and Anuj Garg, CometChat began as a vBulletin chat bar in 2009 and evolved into developer-facing communications infrastructure. It joined Techstars Boulder in 2019. A 2026 funding announcement reported a $6.5 million raise to expand its AI-agent direction, alongside the established chat and calling products.
