| Compare | CometChat | MirrorFly |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | Apps where chat is the core product | Regulated apps (HIPAA) needing data control |
| Who it's not for | Solo founders needing a basic chat widget by Friday | Small teams needing a simple chat widget . heavy overkill |
| Privacy | Active vulnerability disclosure program and compliance efforts, but a 2026 stored-XSS CVE affected the JS SDK and a React UI kit was flagged high-severity.⁹ | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed. |
| Support quality | Review base too thin to judge | No support evidence in sources |
| Public sentiment | Third-party reviews are sparse: G2 names it a High Performer with mostly positive feedback, while at-scale pricing draws the loudest criticism.⁴ | A small, mostly positive user base picks MirrorFly for self-hosting and pricing freedom, with scale unproven. |
| Biggest gotcha | Patch the JS SDK and UI kits promptly . a stored-XSS CVE was disclosed in 2026⁹ | Self-hosted tier makes you own servers, upgrades, uptime, and compliance ops |
