TalkJS
Chat API and SDKs for in-app messaging
TalkJS is a chat API and SDK that lets developers add in-app messaging to web and mobile apps, covering private one-on-one conversations, group chats, and public community channels. It provides pre-built, customizable chat UIs alongside a flexible API so teams can integrate messaging without building real-time infrastructure from scratch.
The product includes three UI layouts (Inbox, Chatbox, and Popup) with theme-based customization of styling, layout, and message structure. SDKs are available for JavaScript, React, React Native, and Flutter, with framework support extending to Angular, Vue, Next.js, Django, Laravel, and others. Features include read receipts, typing indicators, presence, mentions, reactions, replies, threads, file and media sharing, voice messages, message translation, search, notifications across push, email, SMS, and browser channels, moderation tools (profanity filtering, spam protection, user banning, domain filtering), analytics, webhooks, multi-tenancy, and AI agent integration for embedding virtual assistants into conversations. The platform is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, with EU hosting and encryption in transit and at rest.
TalkJS is aimed at developers and product teams building marketplaces, SaaS platforms, community products, customer support chat, fintech, and healthcare applications. It offers a free plan to start building, with an Enterprise edition that includes a 99.9% uptime SLA.
