SirrChat
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sirr is a hidden and secure communication tool that requires no phone number or real world identity to register, with all communications end to end encrypted by default. Built on the decentralized SirrMesh communication topology, any organization or individual can deploy communication nodes, and all nodes are fully interconnected. Even if individual nodes are blocked, or official operations cease entirely, Sirr can continue to serve everyone, self propagate, and evolve truly enabling a communication network that endures. It is a security first communication system designed for the worst of times, without reliance on any central service.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pum. Messenger at none against SirrChat's shown. SirrChat's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
