My Comparison of Webmessenger, Verichat and IM+.


Webmessenger:

agonizingly slow. I like the way it organizes and alerts you of the different sessions and its game feature stuff but its way too slow for any real chatting.

Verichat:
Faster than Webmessenger but gets disconnected whenever it feels like it.
No way to know if your online or offline so you can think your talking to someone but your really disconnected. There's also no quick reference to switching between people your actively chatting with. (or maybe there was but it wasn't obvious therefore means unintuitive)


IM+:
The only choice if your gonna do some real conversations over IM.
Pretty fast. Doesn't get disconnected. Switching between active conversations is somewhat intuitive although it would be better if there was some kind of "ctrl tab" type feature so I could switch between em without having to scroll through the menu to click on active conversations or whatever. Also wish it had more customizable alerts. Despite its flaws(which webmessenger and verichat also have if not worse) it is easily far and away the best app for IMing out of these three programs. I had this before I tried the other two and I just found that trying them out was a waste of my time.

One time pament of $44 seems like a way better deal than continuousl paying 20 - 30 bucks every year for webmessenger/verichat as well.
