Discover Why Social & Community Apps Choose Stream

Pluang evaluated Stream, Sendbird, and Amity but chose to integrate the Stream Chat API and React SDK because of its ability to scale, reliably support a high number of DAU, and provide a rich catalog of features to improve user experience.

Ajaib found Stream and quickly migrated from another chat provider and replaced its in-house build with Stream's Chat and Activity Feeds APIs and SDKs.

From the first sales call, it was clear to Teamworks that Stream could support their unique use case. They found the chat API and React and React Native SDKs to be feature-rich, the Edge network to be reliable and scalable, and the documentation to be complete.
