Works on any server including shared-hosts

CometChat requires only PHP and mySQL (or MSSQL for ASP/.NET sites). No special hardware or software is required for any plugin. Voice/video chat works out-of-the-box too!

Minimal server load and highly scalable

CometChat adds minimal server load and is an extremely efficient chat software. Use (optional) CometService to offload 95% of the work to our servers. Prefer offloading using your own APE server, PubNub, BeaconPush or PusherApp? No problem, check out our third-party alternatives.
