The short version

  • Only Signal has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Freedcamp plans are differentiated mainly by file upload size, at 10 MB on free, 25 MB on Pro, 100 MB on Business and 250 MB on Enterprise; Signal signal must be installed on a phone before the desktop app can be used, so there is no phone-free desktop-only account
  • They diverge on capability: Freedcamp covers Tasks, Signal covers End-to-end encryption.
