If prioritizing ready-made, plug-and-play solutions for real-time collaboration in web apps, are API/SDK providers like MirrorFly or Sendbird a good choice? How do they compare in terms of ease of integration, scalability, data control, and long-term flexibility?
I would say if you prioritize ready made plug-and-play solutions for real-time collaboration in web apps, go with API providers. It’s a pretty fast technique. MirrorFly and Sendbird are one such popular API SDK providers in this category.
MirrorFly: Offers real-time chat, voice or video SDKs, you can integrate in 2 days, plus a self-hosting option if you need full data control. Good for teams that want production-ready collaboration and AI agents without building whole infra.
Sendbird: Provides a very scalable chat API with typing indicators, presence, and message sync, and all major features a team would look for. Perfect if you want real-time collaboration features without managing servers.
