+1 for envolve. It’s pretty cool, reasonable cost for the paid versions…

Many of the chat plugins I see require third-party services, and sometimes require users to sign up for accounts with third parties. The Envolve looks like it doesn’t necessarily which is nice. There are also:

WPMUDEV has Chat and Chat Lite:

There is also BP-Chat which is free, but the version listed on BuddyDev.com is old.

There is also Quick Chat https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-chat/

Quick-chat is more of a shoutbox than FB-like chat.

Wow im surprised nobody mentioned BuddyChat, designed for buddypress. Google “Buddypress BuddyChat” to download it from the developer. I use it and its super.

Currently unable to locate the developer of Buddypress BuddyChat through Google.

Please share this elusive developer’s link so that we also may enjoy the use of this super plugin!
