How Super Speedy Chat differs from Chaty

All plugins from Super Speedy Plugins share a SQL-first architecture and an uncompromising focus on performance — and Super Speedy Chat is no different. Here is what sets it apart:

Self-hosted WordPress live chat with an inbox you can answer from wp-admin, Discord or WhatsApp through Meta Cloud API. Keep the core conversation history in WordPress, avoid per-agent SaaS fees and choose which external channels to connect.

Chaty is a contact channel aggregator — it links visitors out to external messaging apps rather than providing a real-time on-site chat experience. When a visitor clicks, the conversation moves off your site entirely. Super Speedy Chat provides native real-time messaging handled on your own server, with conversation history stored in your WordPress database and bidirectional Discord integration for responding without leaving your existing workflow.

How to choose between Chaty and Super Speedy Chat?

Chaty is useful for surfacing your existing contact channels in a tidy widget, but it is not a live chat solution — visitors leave your site to continue the conversation. Super Speedy Chat keeps the conversation on your site, real-time and self-hosted, with Discord integration and email fallback. A free trial is available.

What's new in Super Speedy Chat?

1.14.1 (11th August 2026)

Updated super-speedy-settings to the latest version

1.14 (11th August 2026)

Visitor IP addresses are no longer stored, and updating removes the `ip_address` column from the conversations table along with every address held in it
Added a site-wide daily limit on chat messages relayed out to Discord and WhatsApp, set with the `ssc_channel_daily_cap` filter and reported in wp-admin when it is reached
Chat sessions now use a visitor token issued by your own site, so a conversation is only ever started under a key the site generated
WhatsApp webhook requests that fail their signature check are logged once a minute per reason rather than once each, which keeps genuine entries in the 25-entry activity log
The Ultra Ajax status check moved from `yoursite.com/?is_ssc_ultra_ajax_active` to `yoursite.com/wp-json/ssc/v1/?is_ssc_ultra_ajax_active`
The benchmark's full-load comparison now uses a one-off secret, matching the Fast and Ultra comparisons
Tested up to WordPress 7.0
