You no longer have to worry about the actual cryptographic reliability of the messengers you use for encrypted messaging. Regardless of a messenger's promises, the Notabit encrypted messaging app adds another layer of end-to-end encryption to your messenger secret conversation with a cipher you can see and test. Type your message into Notabit, get an encrypted cipher, and send it to your recipient via any messenger, SMS, or email. Since Notabit is an independent, third-party encrypted messaging app, there is no way to compromise the encryption through a predefined loophole on the server side of the messenger or any other party in the middle. Just consider any popular messenger as a useful communication channel with a cryptographic quality you can never really verify to send strongly encrypted messages with Notabit. To send encrypted messages, click the "New Chat" button and copy the default generated encryption invitation into any messenger and send it to your recipient. Your recipient will receive the encryption, add it to his Notabit and enter his reply. And so on. The app uses encryption and signing with public-key cryptography. The sender encrypts the message with the recipient's public encryption key and signs it with the sender's private signing key. The recipient decrypts the message with the private signing key and verifies the signature with the sender's public signing key. This process of key exchange means that communication takes place in ping-pong mode, i.e. each request must be answered in order for a chat to remain consistent.

Sanket is a private, end-to-end encrypted messenger built on one simple promise: your conversations belong to you. No ads. No tracking. No data mining. No selling your attention to advertisers. Sanket exists for one reason only: to let you talk freely, knowing that no one else can read your messages. Not hackers, not corporations, not even us. WHY SANKET Most free messaging apps are free because you are the product. Your messages, contacts, habits, and metadata feed advertising engines you never see. Sanket is built the opposite way. We collect the absolute minimum needed to deliver your messages, and nothing more. There is no data to leak, sell, or hand over, because we never had it in the first place. WHAT YOU GET End-to-end encrypted messaging: every message is locked on your device and can only be unlocked by the person you send it to Encrypted voice and video calls: talk face to face with the same protection as your chats Private group chats: coordinate with family, friends, or your team, fully encrypted Photos, videos, documents and voice notes: share media without giving up privacy Disappearing messages: set chats to auto-delete on your schedule Screen security: block screenshots in sensitive conversations No phone book harvesting: your contacts stay on your device Zero ads, zero trackers, zero analytics SDKs: independently verifiable PRIVACY BY DESIGN, NOT BY POLICY Privacy policies can change. Architecture cannot. Sanket is engineered so that reading your messages is technically impossible for anyone except you and your recipient. Encryption keys are generated and stored on your device alone. We cannot read your chats, and neither can anyone who asks us to. PROUDLY BUILT IN INDIA Sanket is designed, engineered, and operated in India by Tosh Defence Private Limited, a company that builds secure communication systems for environments where privacy is not a preference but a requirement. The same engineering discipline now protects your everyday conversations. WHO IS SANKET FOR Anyone who believes a private conversation should stay private. Families sharing everyday moments. Professionals discussing sensitive work. Journalists, lawyers, doctors, founders. And anyone simply tired of being watched, profiled, and advertised to inside their own chats. OUR PROMISE Your messages are yours. Your calls are yours. Your data is yours. That is not a marketing line, it is the architecture. Download Sanket and take your conversations back.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Notabit at every 2 days against Sanket's every 11 days. Sanket's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
