I do see how it can be confusing that we don't list our other SDKs there. That list only shows the frontend integrations. Here are all the SDKs: JS, Ruby, Python, Java, PHP, Go, PHP, .NET, Swift, Kotlin, Dart.

  1. You can build e2e encrypted chat by combining Virgil (or your own encryption setup) with Stream. Note that this breaks the built-in AI moderation capabilities.
  2. True for all major players in this space. Definitely Twilio, Stream, Sendbird. We don't do anything with your data
  3. Ease of use depends on the frontend SDK you end up using. I recommend React
  4. Both Sendbird and Stream support this. Stream also has a configurable permissions system so you can allow moderators to do more things than regular users.
  5. Xamarin is supported only by Sendbird, Flutter by Stream. Everything else reasonably mainstream is supported by both.
