Privacy-first Unlike some other messengers from Big Tech companies, we don’t mine your data or monitor your communications. Own your conversations Choose where to host your data - from any public server (the largest free server is matrix.org, but there are plenty of others to choose from) to creating your own personal server and hosting it on your own domain. This ability to choose a server is a large part of what differentiates us from other real time communication apps. However you host, you have ownership; it’s your data. You’re not the product. You’re in control. Communicate in real time, all the time Use Element everywhere.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BendroCorp at 4.3 against Element X's 3.5. Element X's advantage is review sentiment (39% vs 0%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BendroCorp holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Element X has 168 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of BendroCorp's written reviews are positive against 39% of Element X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BendroCorp ships an update every 2 months, Element X fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
