Built for the gaps the big apps leave open
We don't try to win everywhere. We win where privacy, scale and real ownership matter most.
Encrypted by default
Every message, call and file is end-to-end encrypted from the very first tap — no settings to flip, no fine print.
Communities up to 100k
Run massive, well-moderated communities with granular roles, threads and admin tools that Signal simply doesn't offer.
Encrypted backups you own
Restore your full history on any device with backups sealed by a key only you hold — never us, never a cloud provider.
Zero-knowledge, zero ads
We don't store your metadata, build a profile, or sell attention. There is no ad business here to compromise you.
Fast, everywhere
A snappy native experience on iOS, Android, desktop and web — syncing your encrypted history in real time across devices.
Sealed sender & disappearing chats
Hide who's talking to whom, set self-destruct timers, and lock sensitive chats behind biometrics.
Privacy isn't a feature. It's the foundation.
Instead of competing broadly, chatHub owns one thing completely: being the most trustworthy home for private communities. Encryption is on by default, we retain no metadata, and your backups are sealed with a key we can never see.
End-to-end by default
No opt-in, no exceptions — encryption protects every conversation.
Zero-knowledge servers
We can't read your messages or reconstruct who you talk to.
You hold the keys
Encrypted backups are unlocked only by you, on your terms.
Comparison reflects chatHub's design goals versus common mainstream messengers.
Loved by communities that care about privacy
Early testers from developer collectives, research groups and large servers.
“Finally a messenger that treats privacy as the product, not a checkbox. Our whole community moved over in a weekend.”

Community Lead, OpenDevs Collective
“The encrypted backups sold me. I can wipe my phone and get everything back — and chatHub never sees a byte of it.”
Marisol Vega
Security Researcher
“Huge groups that stay fast and private. This is the Telegram-scale, Signal-grade app I kept wishing existed.”

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you join.
chatHub focuses on a defensible privacy niche instead of trying to be everything. You get end-to-end encryption on by default (like Signal), power features and huge groups (like Telegram), and the everyday polish people expect (like WhatsApp) — without ads, without harvesting your metadata, and with encrypted backups you actually control.
Yes. Messages, calls and media are end-to-end encrypted, and we operate a zero-knowledge model — we don't store your message metadata or sell data to advertisers. Your encrypted backups are protected by a key only you hold.
The free plan covers everything most people need: encrypted 1:1 and group chats, voice and video calls, and communities. It's free forever — no ads, ever.
Premium is $4/month and unlocks encrypted cloud backups, larger groups (up to 100,000 members), higher-quality file transfers, custom themes, and priority support. It's priced to be affordable across both emerging and developed markets.
chatHub runs on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux and the web. Your encrypted history syncs seamlessly across every device you own.
