What is the best whitelabel solution for a iOS/Android chat app?

In case you are planning to develop a standalone Chat and Messaging app or integrate the same within an existing app, you should be fine with Applozic’s IP-Messaging solutions.

Applozic’s SDKs and APIs can help you build IP-Messaging and IP-calling capabilities in your app in no time and reduce your GTM time significantly. Applozic also comes with completely managed infrastructure. We handle servers, scaling, maintenance and everything else so that you can focus on your core product and leave the messaging part to us.

The following infographic gives a brief overview of the feature set supported by our SDK:

The SDKs support and work seamlessly on apps developed on both native and hybrid platforms. Below are the Documentation links for you to get started:

Web Documentation
Android Documentation
iOS Documentation

That being said we very well understand the apprehensions businesses have with SDK integration, and have made every possible effort to have you covered:

1. MQTT Protocol: Applozic is built on the latest framework, the one being used by the likes of FB Messenger; to ensure low latency, assured messaging, efficient distribution and healthier battery life.
2. Open Source UI Kits: Users of your mobile app desire a consistent experience. So customizing the chat solution to match the look and feel of your overall app is highly recommended.
3. Auto Scalability and High Concurrency: The SDK is designed to scale with your business needs at every point automatically. Also there is no limit on the number of concurrent users, allowing all your users to actively use chat at the same instant, something that proves the robustness of our SDK.
4. Dedicated Hosting: Data security is a major concern for enterprises esp. in the Financial and Medical Industries. We therefore support dedicated server hosting and on-premise server deployment so that only you have access to all user data.

In order to help you get started and get every aspect of your Messaging strategy right, we have drafted a Messaging Best Practices Guide for you.

I would say it depends on 2 factors: your level of coding skills and your available time. Let’s now review your different options:

• You are a hard-core mobile developer and have no deadline. This might be the best option as you will be able to be finicky about all the thousands of details and make the chat app of your dreams. However, be aware it will take you an unlimited amount of time and the app might never be finished as it often is the case with good softwares. The cost of this solution will be the highest as everything is custom-made.
• You are a mobile developer and have a deadline in 3–6 months. In that case you can get the help of a chat SDK like Quickblox, Layer or Sendbird. No back-end needs to be developed and you might be able to fully customize the User Interface to fit your needs. Depending on which SDK you choose, the starting cost will be very attractive with a small number of users.
• You have no tech skills and the deadline is next week. Well, it’s a tough deadline but I’m proud to say we have a platform called Minsh, that is able to generate white label messaging apps within 2 business days. Starting with a logo and a short description, it is possible to create your own unique chat app. Although it doesn’t provide as much flexibility as the 2 options above, it still allows you to customize quite a lot of elements. The cost is very attractive and remains the same for up to 10′000 users.

A white label service/product solution is one where a product/service solution provided by the producer company is rebranded by the marketers before they sell it to the final customer.

The number of monthly active users of chat apps in India will likely reach 320 million by 2020 from about 230 million in 2017, according to Ovum.

I hope this isn't too late and that at least, people with same inquiry can find this valuable.

I would like to suggest the definition of ‘the best while labeled’ as:

1. Easy to integrate
2. Fully customizable
3. Highly scalable and reliable

I believe that SendBird perfectly fits those criteria;

1. Easy to integrate - SendBird’s iOS/android SDK usually takes less than five minutes to integrate with other mobile apps and websites (it supports iOS, Android, JavaScript, Unity, and Xamarin and is also compatible with React Native and Cordova)
2. Fully customizable - This Y Combinator backed startup offers open-source sample UIs for iOS, Android, JavaScript (Web & React Native), Xamarin, Unity and you can use their sample UI or a 3rd party UI Kit like JSQMessagesViewController
3. Highly scalable and reliable: Without the need of an extra infrastructure, you can host thousands of users in a group/or open chat room.

Feel free to shoot me any questions! :)

I would recommend the Chat SDK which is a free and open source project available on Github - it has a version for iOS and Android. The library is available under the MIT license so there are so restrictions for commercial use. The library contains the following features:

• Text, image and location messages
• User profiles and search
• Private group messaging
• Public chat rooms
• Easy integration with existing login systems
• Modular user interface components

The Framework uses Google Firebase which has a free tier which supports up to 15k daily active users. Firebase also scales to millions of daily users.

In case you’re looking for a fast, cost-effective and risk-free white label messaging app, give a try to Zangi. This company will build a chat app for iOs/Android while putting your desired features and the logo of your company.

The whole idea is that you don’t have to find a team of mobile developers, designers or QA specialists and struggle with the development deadlines or risks. Instead, you decide what you need, make an order and get your branded messaging app in 1-2 weeks.
