GGBRO vs Sloga

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.

Sloga is a free chat app for gaming communities, with servers, channels, roles, voice, video, and screen sharing. Communities can also use events, threads, forums, announcement channels, and Discover listings, while automatic real-time translation is available in every channel. Messages and attachments support end-to-end encryption; calls are encrypted in the Windows, Linux, and Android apps, but not yet in the Mac app. Call transcription runs on the user's device on Windows, Android, and the web, with Linux support forthcoming. Discord server templates can be imported to recreate categories, channels, roles, and permissions without linking a Discord account. Attachments can reach 5GB, though files over 20MB are deleted 24 hours after sending. Voice servers are listed in the United States, São Paulo, and Singapore; the app selects the fastest region unless a server owner pins one. Watch parties work with YouTube and Jellyfin, synchronizing playback while each participant uses their own copy. Sloga has browser, Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android apps; iOS is listed as coming soon. Its web and mobile clients, server, and shared client libraries are AGPL-3.0, while desktop encryption components remain private. The service is hosted and costs nothing, with no subscription required.
