| Spec score · Encrypted Messaging Apps | 8.1 (#12) | 7.3 (#30) |
| Encryption | Messages and files are end-to-end encrypted by default, according to the FAQ. | Kaidan supports end-to-end encryption with OMEMO 2 for messages, files, and metadata. |
| Product | Berty is a privacy-first messaging app built on the Wesh Network protocol. | Kaidan is a chat app that uses the open XMPP (Jabber) protocol, so users are not tied to one service provider. |
| Security limitation | The FAQ states that Berty has no mechanism in place to hide users’ IP addresses at present. | The maker says Kaidan is not yet stable and does not consider its security as good as that of leading chat apps. |
