5 tools · the Catch, not a ranking
- Socket.IOMIT realtime library with fallbacks, not a hosted product
You bring the host. Horizontal scale needs Redis (or equivalent) adapter. This is not LiveKit and not a managed pub-sub. CORS, sticky sessions, and polling surprises remain your bugs.
- AnyCableMIT realtime for Action Cable with delivery guarantees
Delivery guarantees + presence + Action Cable / multi-backend — not a Pusher-protocol server. Distinct from Socket.IO and Centrifugo. Pro and Managed exist; prices not reprinted here.
- SocketClusterMIT Node pub/sub+RPC+JWT with SCC scale-out
Node pub/sub+RPC+JWT+SCC scale-out — not Socket.IO library-only, not Soketi Pusher-protocol, not Centrifugo Go hub, not NATS messaging, not AnyCable Rails WS. Distinct from Socket.IO, Soketi, Centrifugo, NATS, and AnyCable.
- Laravel ReverbMIT first-party Laravel WebSocket server
First-party Laravel WS — not Soketi Pusher-protocol, not Centrifugo Go hub, not AnyCable Rails, not Socket.IO library, not Mercure SSE. Distinct from Soketi, Centrifugo, AnyCable, Socket.IO, and Mercure.
- SockudoMIT Rust Pusher V1 edge + Protocol V2 recovery/history/push
Vs Soketi: Rust Pusher V1 edge + Protocol V2 recovery/history/mutable/push — not AGPL v7-only. Distinct from Soketi AGPL Protocol v7 drop-in. Self-host is the free path; do not invent Cloud SKUs.
