PubNub vs. Hazelcast Platform

PubNub is a real-time platform for developers who build in-app chat and live features. The Chat SDK includes typing indicators, presence, message history, read receipts, reactions, and threads. PubNub supports unlimited subscribers per channel. PubNub assigns each message a server-side timetoken. Messages on a channel form one ordered sequence. End-to-end delivery latency is sub-100ms. DAZN uses PubNub to power chat and Watch Party experiences for 10 million users. PubNub charges by Monthly Active Users or transactions, depending on the plan.

Hazelcast Platform is the Live Data Platform that delivers data at the speed of relevance, providing the in‑memory foundation for applications that act on data the instant it's created—ensuring businesses never miss a moment of opportunity. By converging distributed caching, compute, stream processing, and real‑time AI into one low‑latency runtime, Hazelcast delivers sub‑millisecond performance, linear scalability, and enterprise resilience. Global 2000 firms trust Hazelcast to simplify architectures, reduce costs, and power mission‑critical, time‑sensitive applications.
