PrivaMesh vs Vutalk

PrivaMesh is an end-to-end encrypted messenger. No phone number, no email: your account is a 12-word recovery phrase that stays on your phone. HOW MESSAGES TRAVEL Each message is encrypted on your phone and written to the public Solana blockchain, where only the person you write to can read it. Our relay passes it on and pays the network fee; it cannot read your messages and keeps no copy. You never need or handle cryptocurrency. ON YOUR PHONE Keys, contacts and decrypted chats stay on this device. Saved Messages come back when you restore your phrase on a new phone; chats with other people don't. PROTECTION • A new one-time address for every message • Optional Face ID lock for your keys • Disappearing messages • Safety numbers to check a contact in person • A duress code that erases the account from this phone PRICING Your first account gets 10 free messages a month. PrivaMesh+ subscriptions and message packs add more through In-App Purchase; PrivaMesh+ also adds a PrivaMesh+ badge and up to 3 accounts. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage them in your Apple ID settings. Anything you send stays on the blockchain permanently: unreadable without the keys, but impossible to delete.

Vutalk is an end-to-end encrypted messenger for people who would rather not hand over a phone number or an email address. You create an account without either. The app gives you an Account ID and a recovery key, and nothing else is needed. Other people reach you through the username you pick, or the QR code that goes with it. Your address book is never uploaded. Messages, calls, and files are encrypted on your device before they leave it, and the keys stay on your devices. Nobody in between can read them, and neither can we. FEATURES No number, no email — Create an account with no phone number and no email address. Keep your Account ID and recovery key: they are how you get back in. Username and QR code — Share a username, or let someone scan your code. Your contacts are never uploaded or matched against our servers. Encrypted messaging — One-to-one and group conversations, end-to-end encrypted by default. Voice and video calls — Encrypted calls, one-to-one and in groups, with voice or video. Photos, video, and files — Send images, videos, documents, and voice messages through the same encrypted channel. Wallet — Receive, send, and view history from Settings. The keys stay on your device. Disappearing messages — Choose how long a conversation keeps its history, from seconds to weeks. Free, with nothing to buy — No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no advertising. Modern cryptography — Key agreement uses X3DH, and every message advances a Double Ratchet, so earlier messages stay protected even if a device is compromised later. Accounts created with an email address in an earlier version keep signing in with that address.
