"It just works"

5/5

What do you like best about Ably Realtime?

Ably makes realtime messaging really easy. Building and hosting this ourselves (across the globe) would be a nightmare.

Uptime has been almost 100% since we started using Ably in 2016. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ably Realtime?

It's not exactly dirt-cheap, but I guess that's the price to pay for 100s of millions of messages we need to send every month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
