The short version

  • Only Signal has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ProofHub the Ultimate Control plan advertises $89 a month for the first 3 months and then charges $135, so the headline is an introductory rate; 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: ProofHub covers Tasks, Signal covers End-to-end encryption.
