Rocket.Chat's free Starter plan is self-managed, for up to 50 users, with video calls through integrations and commercial plans quoted by sales. Freesbe is hosted in the region you choose, with huddles and meetings built in, a customer inbox on every plan and a phone system add-on, free for up to 10 people, then a listed price per person.
For Teams that picked Rocket.Chat to own their chat and would rather own their time.
A huddle starts in any channel or DM with up to 20 people and a shared screen. A scheduled meeting has a short link, your logo and a lobby, and guests join from a browser. Record it, or transcribe it without recording, and the notes with decisions and action items are posted to the channel.
A chat bubble on your website, your support address, WhatsApp and Telegram each land as threads in a channel. Hand a conversation to a colleague, keep internal notes beside it, answer with a saved reply or the one AI suggests. Texts to your Freesbe numbers join them with the phone system add-on.
Start free with up to 10 people and try it today, or book a 20-minute demo with the people who make Freesbe.
Pick the data region at sign-up. Require Google or Microsoft sign-in on Corporate and Enterprise, a second factor on Business, Corporate and Enterprise, set file and retention rules, read the audit log and export the data. Apps with Slack-style manifests, incoming webhooks in Slack's format, a REST API and AI agents over MCP cover the integrations.
Rocket.Chat runs on your own servers, on-premises, in a private cloud or air-gapped, with federation to other servers and a marketplace of apps. Government and defense teams, and anyone whose rule is that the data never leaves their hardware, should stay with it.
