Choosing your integration style

A perfect choice for MVPs and rapid launches. You don’t need to build a chat from scratch. Just sign up on Ethora, go to admin panel, and customize a ready-to-use solution the way you see it. This enables quick deployment, while you retain all the control over branding.

Maximum control and flexibility for deep customization. It allows you to build the app from the ground, using Ethora’s APIs for features like messaging, document sharing, AI bots, and many more.

This approach provides the balance between speed and flexibility. You can take a pre-built component or SDK library where part of the frontend and API is implemented, and build your app around it. Thus, you gain visual control while saving time on core logic.
