In their own words
Discord
Discord is a communications platform for voice, video, and text, with communities organized into servers and channels. People can create servers for groups to talk and spend time together, and use calls in direct messages, group direct messages, or voice channels. The service supports streaming games to friends, and supported consoles can stream gameplay directly. On desktop and in a browser, the App Directory lets users find apps to add to a server or account. Account Connections can link services such as Spotify, Xbox, and PlayStation to a profile; developers can use the Embedded App SDK to build interactive experiences inside Discord. It runs on the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The free plan includes voice, video, and text chat, community servers, and browser, desktop, and mobile access. Nitro Basic is $2.99 a month and includes 50 MB file uploads; Nitro is $9.99 a month and includes custom emoji and stickers, HD video streaming, and two Server Boosts. Discord says calls use end-to-end encryption, but messages are not encrypted and remain subject to its content moderation approach.
GGBRO
GGBRO is a hosted platform for gamer and community communication, combining text chat, voice, video and screen sharing. It supports web, Windows, Android and API access. Members can create unlimited servers and use replies, edits, pins, reactions, file uploads, GIFs, link previews and channel search. Voice channels use a LiveKit SFU, while direct and group calls include voice, video and screen-sharing controls. An Apps launcher provides Discovery, Gemini AI, Streamers and other apps. Developers can create bots through a REST API and Socket.IO gateway; bot creation and API use are listed as free with no usage fees. Windows plugins run in sandboxed iframes with declared permissions, and sensitive permissions require confirmation. GGBRO says passwords use bcrypt hashing, 2FA secrets are encrypted, client-server traffic uses TLS and calls use DTLS-SRTP. The Free plan costs nothing and includes core features, one server backup and 25 MB uploads.
