I am interested in using a chat SDK for a community mobile Flutter app. I am between SendBird and Stream. I currently have 2,000 monthly active users and plan to have close to 5,000 active users chatting on the app. Has anyone used either and had good/bad experiences? Currently, there is no chat functionality, and we would like to have a 1-to-1 user chat, group chat, and large community chat capabilities.
Hi, Tom! I'd recommend Stream's Flutter SDK if scalability and performance for a growing number of active users are your focus!
Here's an honest comparison of the two: https://getstream.io/blog/product-comparison-stream-vs-sendbird/
And here are a few case studies on Stream customers who switched from Sendbird: - https://getstream.io/blog/hio-switched-from-sendbird-to-stream/ - https://getstream.io/blog/pluang-uses-stream-chat/
Here are some of the top blogs on building chat with Stream's Flutter SDK that might help you decide: - https://getstream.io/blog/build-a-flutter-social-chat/ - https://getstream.io/blog/creating-a-fast-and-beautiful-chat-with-flutter/
