Element X vs Spark Unity

Freedom to communicate on your own terms For individuals and communities - private communication between family, friends, hobby groups, clubs, etc. Element X gives you fast, secure and private instant messaging and video calls built on Matrix, the open standard for real-time communication. This is a free and open-source app maintained at https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios Stay in touch with friends, family and communities with: • Real time messaging & video calls • Public rooms for open group communication • Private rooms for closed group communication • Rich messaging features: emoji reactions, replies, polls, pinned messages and more. • Video calling while browsing messages. • Interoperability with other Matrix-based apps such as FluffyChat, Cinny and many more. 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. Stay in touch wherever you are with fully synchronised message history across all your devices, including on the web at https://app.element.io Element X is our next-generation app If you’re using the previous-generation Element Classic app, it’s time to try Element X! It’s faster, easier to use, and more powerful than the classic app. It’s better in every way and we’re adding new features all the time.

No student should land alone. Moving to a new city to study is exciting and lonely at once. Spark Unity gets you there with people already beside you: one app for the community, the marketplace and the messages, scoped to the city you are actually moving to. Join your university, city and country spaces. Ask the questions, find a room, buy the desk and the bike, and meet the people you will actually sit next to, before the first lecture. WHAT'S INSIDE - Spaces for your country, your city and your campus, so every channel is people you will genuinely run into. - Housing, with alerts. Tell us your city, budget and dates, and we watch the market and ping you the moment a room fits. - A marketplace for settling in. Sell what you cannot pack, buy what you need, from students nearby. - Real-time messaging. Message a seller, a classmate or a housemate. - Guides for the paperwork nobody warns you about, written by students who just did it. - A new brain-teaser every midnight, for the walk to campus. WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT - Everyone is verified. A student email or ID unlocks messaging, selling and connecting, so the room, the seller and the classmate are all real. - No algorithm, no ads, no endless feed. Just the people and the things around you. - Minimal by default. Your email is never shown; a listing reveals only your first name and city. - Block or report in one tap, and it reaches a real person. Free to join. Land like you have been here a while. From a spark, we rise together.
