  • Only Signal has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Signal signal must be installed on a phone before the desktop app can be used, so there is no phone-free desktop-only account; Zuddl pricing starts at $10,000 per year and covers only two organizer seats
  • They diverge on capability: Signal covers End-to-end encryption, Zuddl covers Virtual events.
