Secretly for Teams
Secretly for Teams provides encrypted organizational communication across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows without requiring phone numbers or email addresses. The Teams offering targets legal, healthcare, journalism, and finance groups, with a 30-day pilot available without commitment. Team controls include an admin console, organizational Secretly IDs, enforced disappearing-message and export-lock policies, centralized billing, and priority support. Secretly says messages, calls, and files are encrypted on-device and unreadable by its servers; administrators manage membership and policy but cannot read message content. The free plan includes encrypted chats, files, one-to-one calls, group calls for up to eight, desktop apps on up to two computers, and 100 MB file sharing. Premium costs $2.99 a month, or $14.99 per year or $29.99 lifetime. Teams uses custom per-seat pricing. Source code is public, while an independent third-party security audit is planned but not completed.
