- Slow mode, chat pause and message pre-approval

Automatic anti-raid Pro
If a wave of spam or a coordinated attack hits, Parlo detects it and raises protection level by level, counting your members too, and in every phase anyone on a VPN or proxy can’t write. Once it passes, it goes back to normal on its own.
NormalEverything works as usual.
WatchStricter limits for people writing fast. Anyone on a VPN or proxy can’t write.
AlertStrict limits and automatic promotions are frozen. VPNs and proxies are read-only.
Anti-raidGuests become read-only; registered users keep talking, unless they use a VPN or proxy.
Your admin panel
Users, bans, message history and stats in full screen, with the permissions of each rank.
- Create and edit accounts and ranks
- 30-day history with filters
- Export messages to CSV
Great on mobile
Most of your audience is on their phone. The chat adapts to the screen and works with a thumb, no app to install.
Looking for a customer support chat?
Parlo is a community chat: lots of people talking at once in the same room, like during a live show or in a forum. If you need to answer your customers one to one, like in an online shop, a customer support tool is a better fit. If you want your audience to talk to each other, you’re in the right place.
Start free. Pay as you grow.
The limit is people online at the same time in each chat. Registered accounts and visits are unlimited. Your moderation team can always get in, even when the chat is full.

Frequently asked questions
How do I add a chat to my website?
Create your chat on Parlo, copy the code from your customer area (a one-line iframe tag) and paste it where you want the chat to appear. It works on WordPress, Wix, Blogger, Squarespace and any HTML page. On WordPress you can also use our official plugin, with its own block and settings screen.
Is the website chat free?
Yes. The Free plan is free forever: one chat for up to 20 people at once that you can embed on your website, with a “Powered by Parlo” link. Paid plans start at $27.99 a month.
Do I need a server or technical skills?
No. Parlo hosts the chat for you and takes care of HTTPS, backups and updates. You just paste the code.
How many people can chat at once?
It depends on the plan: 20 on Free, 250 on Starter, 500 on Community, 1,500 on Pro and no fixed commercial cap on Business, per chat. Actual Business capacity depends on infrastructure and fair use. Your moderation team can always get in, even when the chat is full.
How do I stop trolls and spam?
You get moderation ranks, mutes, kicks and bans by account, IP and device. Anti-flood slows down anyone writing too fast and, on the Pro plan, anti-raid detects coordinated attacks and raises protection automatically. You can also block VPNs and proxies with one switch.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The chat adapts to any screen and runs in the browser, with no app to download.
Do my users need to sign up?
No. They can join as guests with a nickname. If they want to keep their name and settings, they sign up with a username and password in seconds, no email needed.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on the Pro and Business plans you can use your own domain, such as chat.yoursite.com. Parlo checks the DNS and sets up HTTPS automatically.
Your audience is already talking about you. Give them a place.
