- wrboyce 11y agoAnd https://www.irccloud.com https://www.irccloud.com One obvious difference is that IRCAnywhere is a discontinued product!
- shock 11y agoHomepage states: "IRCAnywhere is designed to be an open source alternative to paid services such as IRCCloud"

- nilkn 11y agoIt seems that IRCCloud also offers mobile apps with push notifications, so IRCAnywhere may not be a complete replacement.
- corobo 11y agoAnother is that irccloud is not free!
- spirit555 11y agowell, there's a free tier that lets you keep 2 connections + irccloud's server. you just have to keep a web browser open somewhere to avoid the 2 hour timeout. but yea ive always felt their $5 / month plan was a little overpriced. for mobile irccloud's app is fantastic. i dont know if any of these solutions mentioned here even has one

- nickstinemates 11y agoYou can accomplish the same idea with less features DIY with a low cost provider (like a $5 digital ocean box), which is what I have done for years. I don't think the price point would change my mind either way, but sometimes that convenience is alluring.

- boklm 11y agoFrom what I see, shout-irc does not allow you to stay connected on IRC channels when you are offline or close your browser.
- _dancannon 11y agoI just installed this and it appears that shout-irc does allow you to stay connected (at least it does when you login as a user)
