Diode Collab vs Secretly for Teams

Diode Collab combines team messaging, file sharing, and remote access across Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. Direct messages and group channels are described as end-to-end encrypted, with encryption enabled by default. Teams can collaborate on files, synchronize them, and use file backup on eligible plans. The pricing page lists unlimited storage and unlimited users on every plan. Browser upload and download links let people share files with recipients who do not have the app installed. Business adds secure equipment access, regional access tunnels, and custom endpoints. Signup uses pseudonymous identities and does not require a phone number or other personally identifiable information, according to the maker. Diode says content is not stored on servers and distinguishes blockchain membership proofs from stored content. New Zones begin on the free Nomad plan. Group costs $3 a month per user, Team 10.00 USD, and Business 15.00 USD.

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.
