The React Chat UI component is a lightweight, developer-friendly chat interface designed for building robust chat experiences in React applications. Designed for performance and flexibility, it supports typing indicators, message suggestions, adaptive time breaks, and lazy loading. The component seamlessly renders a responsive React chat window suitable for support, collaboration, and messaging apps. Use this solution to build a support chat, internal messenger, or customer-facing chat UI in website.
Display user messages with avatars or fallback initials and automatically align current user messages to the right. Bind any message schema to support custom layouts for a consistent chat window in React applications.
Track chat progress by showing statuses such as sent, delivered, and read. Customize each state with icons and tooltips to keep users informed about message delivery within your chat widget.
Enhance user interaction by offering predefined replies or quick action buttons. These message suggestions help accelerate responses and guide the conversation flow effectively within the chat component.
Insert contextual separators like “Today” or “Yesterday” between messages to improve readability. These are auto-inserted based on time stamps and can be fully customized.
Show real-time typing indicators for individual users or group chats. Improve responsiveness and user engagement by customizing the placement of animated indicators in your chat.
Add custom controls like voice calls, chat settings, or new chat creation. Easily modify iconography, alignment, or actions to suit your app’s context.
Lazy-load older chat messages while scrolling upward, reducing initial payload size and boosting performance for long-running conversations in your React chat window.
Welcome users with branded messages, onboarding prompts, or custom graphics when the chat is empty. Customalize the first impression you give in your chat window.
Redesign how individual messages are presented by customizing the layout, background, fonts, or embedded content.
Replace the default input boxes with custom UIs such as emoji pickers, rich text editors, or file attachments. Tailor the footer to support diverse interaction needs.

No, our 1,900+ components and frameworks for web, mobile, and desktop, including our React Chat UI, are not sold individually. They are only available as part of a team license. However, we have competitively priced the product, so it only costs a little bit more than what some other vendors charge for their Chat UI component alone. We have also found that, in our experience, our customers usually start off using one of our products and then expand to several products quickly, so we felt it was best to offer all 1,900+ components and frameworks for a subscription fee that starts at $395 per month for a team of 5 developers. Additionally, we might be able to offer discounts based on currently active promotions. Please contact our product specialists to see if you qualify for any additional discounts.
