In their own words
Chanty
Chanty is a team chat and collaboration tool that combines messaging, tasks, and calls. Teams can create tasks or turn messages into them, assign and filter work, set due dates, and use a Kanban board. Messaging includes mentions, pinned messages, code snippets, threads, searchable history, reactions, file sharing, and an in-app media player. Audio and video calls support screen sharing, up to 1,000 video participants, and up to 49 videos on screen. Chanty lists channels, guest access, and unlimited message history. It offers apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, plus web access. The free plan is billed forever and allows up to five team members, 20GB of team storage, 10 integrations, and one guest user. Business is listed at $4 a month billed monthly; the pricing note also says paid plans start at $3/user/mo on annual billing. Integrations include tools such as Zapier, Google Drive, Dropbox, GitHub, Trello, and Jira. Chanty lists security measures including TLS 1.2 or higher and file encryption.
Twist
Twist is a team messaging service built around channels, guest access, and work-tool integrations. It runs on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 500 internal member accounts, 500 external guest accounts, five integrations, 5 GB of file storage, and one month of comments and message history. Unlimited costs $6 a month with annual billing. That plan includes full history, unlimited integrations and file storage, priority support, and unlimited internal and external member accounts. Listed integrations include Todoist, Asana, CircleCI, GitHub, GitLab, Jira Software, Make, n8n, Pipedream, Zapier, Google Calendar, Calendly, Jitsi Meet, Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Sheets, OneDrive, Box, and Trello.
