Some of the points of differentiation:

  • Quickblox supports video and audio calling, layer not working.
  • Layer provides SDK for iOS, android and Javascript and unity sdk are in the queue. Quickblox provides sdk for iOS, android and js.
  • All of the above applies only to the client. If you want to control something from your server, you need to use Rest API.
  • Layer provides Rest and Websocket API, but Quickblox only provides Rest API.
  • Quickblox points out that their js-sdk can be used on a node.js server. But I was getting error This browser not supported

    when connecting to chat from node.js server. This same error is also listed here . This means there is no way to get real-time notification of a new post / user on your server using Quickblox.
  • Free user-level support for Quickblox (see for example here (no answer to any ticket), here and here ). I found Layer support very good.
  • Layered documentation is too good. Quickblox is confusing. Also, quickblox does not have a document describing the basic concepts.
  • Layer also supports UIK .
  • Quickblox provides home user control, but layer does not. But you can use Parse for this as defined in the docs level .
  • Layer has a platform API for bulk and systemic actions like posting ads, and they also provide analytics on how to interact with them.
  • I also find this small layer feature very useful.


There are many more differences. I just started using Baath chat last week. The answer will be updated over time.
