Outstanding communication platform with excellent support

Better Messages has become an essential part of our WordPress-based training platform. We use it every day for communication between instructors, students and our management team. Real-time messaging, group chats, audio/video calls and screen sharing work reliably and provide a professional user experience. One of the biggest advantages is that everything stays within our own website, without relying on external messaging platforms. The Premium version has been well worth the upgrade. The plugin is well designed, regularly improved, and exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommended!

Excellent Plugin and Support

Looks great, functions better than expected, and excellent support. If only all WordPress plugins were this well made and maintained.

Great solution for marketplace messaging

Better Messages has been a very useful plugin for our WooCommerce/Dokan marketplace. We use it for buyer-to-seller communication, and the WebSocket version makes the experience feel smooth and real-time. It is a practical and affordable alternative to external chat platforms, while still offering the main features we need: private conversations, notifications, and an internal inbox. One improvement that would help us a lot would be easier control over frontend notification prompts and translation strings, especially for browser push notifications. Overall, it is a strong plugin and a great choice for marketplaces that need internal messaging without building a custom chat system from scratch.
