ChatSocket lets you put a modern, realtime chat room on any website in minutes — no servers, no installation, no maintenance. Group chat, private messages, voice rooms, ranks, points and a full moderation suite, all managed from one control panel. Every room starts with a free 7-day trial (no card details needed), then runs from just $9/month.
Built by the same team behind Hunter Store, ChatSocket is designed to feel instant on any device.
Messages arrive the moment they are sent over WebSocket — typing indicators, read state and an online roster included.
Kick, mute, ban, word filters, IP bans and a complete moderation log of who did what, to whom and when.
Live voice channels with push-to-talk or open mic, controlled by the same rank system as text chat.
Glass, Bubbles, Metro, IRC, Midnight and more — plus custom colours, gradients and your own code.
One-to-one private messages, mentions with autocomplete and notifications that stay out of the public room.
Reward activity with points and watch a live leaderboard drive engagement in your community.
An AI member that answers when named, draws pictures on command and helps keep the chat clean.
Paste an iframe or script tag into any website, WordPress blog or page builder. It just works.
Experience the full room free for 7 days — then pick the plan your community needs.
Give visitors a place to talk the moment they land on your page. Guest entry means nobody has to register to say hello — accounts come later if they stick around.
Chat on your own domain, not somebody else's platform. Points, ranks and voice rooms make regulars feel at home.
A moderated live channel for customers, with an audit trail of every moderation action and full control over who can post.
Drop the room under a post or in a sidebar. If you already use WordPress, Sngine, Wowonder or XenForo, members can sign in with one account on both sides.
Many owners run both: a self-hosted CodyChat for full control, and a hosted ChatSocket room for quick, zero-maintenance community chat.

ChatSocket is a hosted chat room platform. You create a room in its control panel and embed it on your website with one line of markup — the messaging, storage, moderation and updates all run on their servers.
No. If you can paste an iframe into a page, you can run a ChatSocket room. There is nothing to install on your server and no software to update.
Yes — every new room opens with 7 days of the Basic plan free of charge, no card details needed. When the trial ends the room pauses rather than deletes; paying reopens it instantly.
You embed the room on your own website, so visitors stay on your domain. Premium plans run up to 15 rooms, each on its own domain.
CodyChat gives you the code and you run it on your own server. ChatSocket is the opposite: they host everything and you just paste one embed. See our full comparison.
Yes — open the public demo room to try the interface before signing up.
