Why Organizations Prefer LikeMinds over Stream

Stream leaves a lot of work for the product and engineering teams before, during, and after integration. From notification flows to moderation to unread message count, a lot is missing in their UI Kits. Compare that to LikeMinds’ do-it-for-you approach combined with customizable pre-built UI components & business logic, you have a true plug-and-play model that minimizes your effort.

Architecture

When we designed our architecture, we made sure to truly remove extra work for you. If you are using a SaaS tool but still have to write all the business logic from scratch what's the point? P.S. This is one of the many reasons our go-live time is significantly faster than Stream.
Mockup

Better Integration & Customization Process

We offer pre-built themes for a range of use cases to get you started. You can build and customize at the component, flow, and app levels making the go-live time < 7 days, which is minuscule compared to the > 2-3 months it takes with Stream.

Custom Solutioning and Documentation

LikeMinds is dedicated to ensuring a seamless journey for you. We do custom solutioning, documentation, and unlimited on-call assistance during onboarding to make it as hassle-free as possible. Stream with its self-serve model lacks in this area.
Mockup

Hypercare Period

When we call ourselves your extended team, we mean it. LikeMinds offers a dedicated Slack channel, 45 days of dedicated support, weekly calls with CSM, and workshops after onboarding to ensure smooth sailing in the early days. Stream doesn’t offer any extended support and guidance.

Simplified Pricing

No hidden cost in the name of complex tiers, no extra costs for having more users who are hyperactive. LikeMinds’ MAU-based pricing is as simple as our integration process. In other words, we won’t penalise you for wanting more and having a thriving user base.

Why Smart Organizations Prefer LikeMinds over Agora

Because of our robust feature sets and super-fast integration.

Unlike Agora, we don’t provide partial features and subpar support in starter tiers. We make sure our pre-built UI components and business logic truly reduce dev efforts to make integration as fast and smooth as possible.

Mockup

Feature-Rich UI

Agora appears to embrace limitations with restrictions on essential features like storage, message limit, group size, and more. Our theme-based SDKs scale with your needs, don’t penalize your growth, and make sure your app flies, not flops.
Mockup

Transparent Pricing

On top of basic pricing, Agora charges exorbitant amounts for support, advanced features, and user attributes. Our MAU-based pricing is simple and scalable with no hidden charges and limitations.
Mockup

Extended Support

Agora’s additional support starts at a jaw-dropping price of $2,900/month. At LikeMinds, get end-to-end support with a dedicated Slack channel, on-call engineers, weekly calls with CSM, and more without extra cost.
Mockup

Faster Integration

Our integration time is drastically lower than Agora’s. Without having to code for advanced features and business logic, the LikeMinds Chat SDK is deployable in minutes with an integration time of just 15 minutes to 1 week.
Mockup

Custom Solutioning

The one-size-fits-all philosophy isn’t applicable to our solutioning. We deliver custom solutions and documents to support you throughout the integration process and make sure your app runs smoothly

Testimonials

LikeMinds completed the integration in the promised 15 mins in the demo call itself. This was a major factor in our decision to go ahead. Key features like content posting, tagging, & moderation were embedded in the Chat SDK reducing go-live time significantly (compared to Agora).

Arun Bagaria

Founder & CEO @ TravClan

Agora comes nowhere close to LikeMinds. I can save a quarter of my engineering team's efforts; to me, that’s the most important thing. The simplified pricing is a cherry on top.

Mudit Vijayvergiya

Founder @  SBNRI

LikeMinds is the only one in the industry offering comprehensive front-end support. The engineering effort is also very low when integrating the SDKs making LikeMinds the obvious choice for us compared to all the other players (including Agora).

N J

Product Manager @ Healthtech

Stream pricing is complex, more so when you can’t fully estimate storage and bandwidth requirements. LikeMinds on the other hand offers simplified pricing, making it easier for us to fairly estimate our future costs and budget for them accordingly.
