I know Stream also released an option here. Perhaps @nickparsons could add some info here.

We investigated a lot of options when exploring this same problem. I think a lot of the questions relate to where you want to fit in in terms of abstractions. Some are lower level tools, some are more opinionated.

I also ran into some areas where security/privacy was a concern depending on the use case of the project in terms of private/public chats.

It will also depend on whether you want a max of ~150 or so folks in a public chat or ~1500 etc. Some of the tools have hard limits.

cc: @zmarkan and @philnash who may have more thoughts.
