Level comparison using blobblox baas
1 answer
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.
