How Much Does An App Like Kik Cost

Development of a Top Instant Messaging App

The need for secure communication tools when investigating sensitive issues has led the journalistic union to continually search for new options. One of them is Kik, a platform created by Canadian university students in 2010 and which offers instant messaging service with the app for iOS and Android operating systems and which currently has more than 200 million users. Unlike other services (WhatsApp, Snapchat, etc.), the user's account is not linked to a phone number but only to an email address (and it is not authenticated with the profile on Facebook).

The sending of messages can be individual between users. You can also create and establish group conversations.

On the other hand, the username is the unique identifier in the Kik system, which implies that other personal data (the aforementioned telephone number, real name, etc.) are not compromised, with the result that the user's activity in said network is anonymous.

Another feature of this service is that text messages or chats are archived on the user's device (where they remain hidden), and the service provider does not have access to that information, while other shared materials (photography and video) are deleted from the Kik system after 30 days.

A chatbot is a talking robot. It simulates a dialogue with a human, to which it gives responses based on a list of pre-established options. The Weather Channel, Wall Street Journal, and CNN are some of the media that operate chatbots through Kik and that seek to tell their stories in new formats.

Best Alternatives to Kik Messenger App

Kik has a large user base in the US and other parts of the world. However, there are many people who are uncomfortable with Kik because of spam accounts popping up on the service. If this is the case for you and you're looking to move to a whole new messaging platform, we have some great options for you. Here are some best Kik alternatives for everyone.

WhatsApp

This is one of the most popular IM apps out there. WhatsApp was acquired by Facebook for a whopping $ 19 billion last year, and that kind of price tag shows us how big WhatsApp is right now. WhatsApp is a simple messaging service that is far more functional than other messaging services on the market. 

Viber

This is another top dog in the world of mobile messaging platforms. Viber has a lot of features that you won't find in most other messaging apps. Similar to WhatsApp, Viber uses your phone number to create your identity. This means you don't have to remember any usernames or passwords. Anyone who has your number can easily reach you on Viber. Viber allows you to chat, make phone calls, share photos, videos, and audio files with loved ones.

WeChat

WeChat is more like a new friend recognition platform than a regular chat platform. You can make calls, view videos and send texts to your friends. However, the best feature of WeChat is finding new friends. Just shake your phone and you are connected to a complete stranger. You can then talk and see if the two of you are compatible to be friends, or you can check out the closest stranger. This makes the app a lot more fun and very interactive. Get hundreds of free stickers from your favorite movies and shows to use in your chats. Best of all, WeChat is free and no subscriptions are required.

Tango

Tango is a community of people from all over the world and offers more than just a platform for simple chats. You can meet new friends in your area by looking at their profile cards and then taking them with you when you want to initiate a chat. You can share pictures and audio with your friends and add beautiful emojis to make your chats even more fun. Make high quality video calls with loved ones and talk to them like you are sitting right next to them with crisp quality.

SnapChat

Snapchat is not a regular messaging app. It allows users to snap a photo or record a video and add text. Then send it to your friend who can view your snapshot for a few seconds. The snapshot is then automatically hidden. Your friend can take a screenshot of their picture, but you will be notified and you can always ask them to delete the picture if you want. Snapchat adds a whole new meaning to chat as you can chat with your friends over pictures and videos. If the two of you are online at the same time, you can also have a face-to-face video chat to make things even more interesting.

Hangouts

The only reason Hangouts isn’t highly ranked is because of its limited availability. If it were available on all platforms, it would be the best apps in terms of messaging and connecting with loved ones. Hangouts is a quick and easy way to get in touch with your friends or other people. You can share photos, send emojis, stickers, and make calls with ease. You can also start a hangout, which means making a video call with multiple people is really fun. You can also call other numbers directly from your phone in Hangouts. Hangouts is a complete messaging app and it definitely has a ton of features to keep you updated when it's available on your platform.

The various instant messaging apps listed above offers varying benefits for their uses. A top mobile app development agency such as Hyperlink InfoSystem can assist you in the development of an excellent instant messaging app such as Pandora at a cost around $8000.
