Description

Chat Bundle

Chat and Chat Calls together — messages, rooms, and voice and video calling, all on your own server.

$135 instead of $160 bought separately, and $50 every six months instead of $60. The same two applications, the same files, one purchase.

What you get

ApplicationWhat it doesOn its own
ChatA launcher on every page. Private messages, public rooms, invite-only private rooms, typing indicators, images and files, moderation.$95 + $35/6mo
Chat CallsVoice and video calling from any one-to-one conversation. Peer to peer, never recorded, never through your server.$65 + $25/6mo

Also included: a ready-made coturn setup for calls, which is the part most people would otherwise spend an afternoon on.

Why they are sold together

Calls are an add-on to Chat and do nothing without it. If you want calling at all, you need both — so this is simply the cheaper way to buy them.

If you only want text chat, buy Chat on its own. Nothing here is held back from it.

Requirements

  • Invision Community 5
  • Realtime, with a current gateway. The gateway is free and has its own listing.
  • HTTPS, for calls — browsers refuse microphone and camera access on an insecure page.
  • A TURN server for calls. The setup is included and takes about ten minutes.

Worth knowing before you buy

  • Calling is one to one in this version. Group calling needs a different piece of server software with real processing cost, and is planned rather than promised.
  • Chat needs a live connection. There is no polling fallback, deliberately — a chat that refreshes every thirty seconds is a slow forum, not a chat. Without Realtime connected the launcher does not appear at all.
  • Nothing leaves your server. No third-party chat service, no per-message pricing, no monthly bill that grows with your community.
