Chanty review

Chanty aims at small teams that want chat and light task management without paying for two products. The free plan supports up to 5 team members with unlimited public and private chats, unlimited searchable history, unlimited one-on-one audio and video calls, scheduled and disappearing messages, built-in task management and 20 GB of storage for the team. The Business plan adds unlimited group chats and group calls, screen sharing, to-do lists and task boards, an employee directory, calendar events, polls and forms, 20 GB of storage per user and 3 free guest seats per member. Security options on Business are broad for the price tier, including HIPAA compliance with a BAA, SSO, 2FA and IP allowlists. Enterprise adds SCIM provisioning, white labeling and data residency choices through sales. The pricing page showed euros from our location, so we could not confirm a USD price. The 5-member cap on the free plan means most teams will need to pay early.
