It is built around chat rooms, both public and private and provides messaging, filesharing, voice and video conferencing (beta on Android and web), integrations to tools like GitHub, Jira, Jenkins and much more soon.

- Voice features are just lacking too far behind or practically non existent compared to discord. No channels, no audio wizards setup or even basic settings like volume control or open mic threshold settings, no push to talk. It's very very barebones. If it were to have Mumbe's voice features instead of Jitsi's it would be a discord killer. Guest • Jan 2020 • 28 agrees and 6 disagrees
- It also has chat rooms which can be combined into groups (like Discords servers) and group voice calls. It's open source and can be hosted on an own server or used on one of many free servers. nipos • Dec 2017 • 29 agrees and 4 disagrees
- Decentralized, end-to-end encrypted, and easy to use. Excellent client for creating a voice chat room for gaming. Of all the alternatives here, this one most closely mirrors Discord (while not infringing on your privacy). lazysami00 • Apr 2019 • 13 agrees and 3 disagrees
- It is more special to use for me. I love this feature. besttoasterovens • 4 days ago
- Can create communities and channels, and it's federated, so it's really like Discord where you can join any public community Guest • Jan 2020 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees
- FOSS, end-to-end encryption, beautiful interface, easy to set up, fast, responsive. Not bloated like Discord, not a privacy hazard like Discord. You can host your own server. Frequently updated. Supports gifs, videos, emoticons, etc. Clean sound. coralinecastell • Nov 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees

Telegram

Telegram is a messaging app created by former VK creators with a focus on speed and security. It’s superfast, simple and free. It is like SMS, but more powerful. You can send messages, photos and videos to people who are in your phone contacts (and have Telegram). You can also create groups for up to 20000 people or channels for unlimited subscribers. Your chats are not encrypted by default, which enables other people to see what you are writing.
- Telegram's desktop (PC) app can not even comparable to Discord. It lacks a LOT of features. Guest • Dec 2019 • 9 agrees and 4 disagrees
- Telegram DOES HAVE voice chat. It has no premium features, it's all free. Plus stickers. Guest • Jan 2019 • 10 agrees and 5 disagrees
- Significantly safer than Discord. Much better text chat features, although lacking in the voice chat department. Risei • Feb 2020 • 4 agrees and 4 disagrees
- Telegram is more akin to whatsapp than discord. Discord would be closer to mumble, teamspeak or ventrilo. User4133612 • Dec 2019 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Lighter, no premium-fees, secure Guest • Feb 2019 • 3 agrees and 7 disagrees
- Telegram as a communications system does most of what Discord offers, Voice chat is more like a Skype alternative. Guest • Feb 2019 • 3 agrees and 2 disagrees

Tox

With the rise of widespread government monitoring programs, Tox is an easy to use application that allows you to connect with friends and loved ones without anyone else listening in. Tox is built with the idea that you can keep up with friends and family without having your privacy violated. While other big-name services require you to pay to unlock features, Tox is free in both price, and in liberty. That is, you’re free to do whatever you wish with Tox.
- The privacy capability gives Tox an edge over most other alternatives to Discord. Guest • Mar 2019 • 12 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Tox is an amazing idea, and when it works, it works well. But it's so buggy that it's unusable for me. When they get the kinks worked out this will be an excellent chat/voice/video client. lazysami00 • Apr 2019 • 7 agrees and 2 disagrees
- Tox is general has great ideas, I love the decentralized part, but also miss features of a centralized service like sending messages to offline users. Would be cool if someone manage to make a web client for Tox. Guest • Jun 2018 • 10 agrees and 3 disagrees
- You can chat via it with audio - and also video, that trumps Discord! Guest • Jun 2017 • 20 agrees and 15 disagrees
- Good privacy, same voice codec. Guest • Aug 2017 • 4 agrees and 1 disagrees
- This is not a gaming-oriented chat program. 5247009 • May 2017 • 10 agrees and 45 disagrees

Slack

Slack is a unified communication platform built with an optimized workflow to keep modern teams focused and productive. A familiar chat interface facilitates discussions while advanced features are easily exposed based on context. Hover over a message to see more options such as emoji reactions, sharing and pinning features and more. A navigation bar provides easy access to key features including a powerful search to find important discussions, files and more.
- They do have voice calling but slack isn't made for gaming. Compared to mumble, teamspeak or ventrilo, you would be better off using your phone in a group call. Latency is going to be the biggest issue since slack's target audience is business and not gaming. User4133612 • Dec 2019 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Many features discord has are paid in Slack, it's a horrible alternative targeted for businesses Guest • Mar 2019 • 20 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Slack = business Discord = Gaming Guest • Jan 2020 • 10 agrees and 6 disagrees
- Has the same chat features, is more secure than discord, lets you call. OAKSIF0 • Jun 2020
- you can't just open a second organization chat in one app instance - you must have it opened twice (more RAM usage), also it doesn't have voice chat. rnickson • Mar 2018 • 5 agrees and 12 disagrees
- Pretty much identical to Discord, just different UI, no voice stuff, and more professional looking... Guest • Jan 2018 • 4 agrees and 33 disagrees

TeamSpeak

TeamSpeak is a proprietary Voice over IP software that allows users to speak on a chat channel with other users, much like a telephone conference call. A TeamSpeak user will often wear a headset with an integrated microphone. Users use the TeamSpeak client software to connect to a TeamSpeak server of their choice, from there they can join chat channels. The target audience for TeamSpeak is gamers, who can use the software to communicate with other players on the same team of a multiplayer game.
- servers are self-hosted, it focuses on voice chat, android app is paid rnickson • Mar 2018 • 8 agrees and 3 disagrees
- garbage, too complex compared to discord. nothing beats discord when it comes to chat and vc BananaOnGitHub • Aug 2020 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Teamspeak is hosted by the user and is much more private and safe when compared to Discord and its data collection. Risei • Feb 2020 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Legit just the older-brother to all other voips except the old trashy ones Guest • Feb 2019 • 8 agrees and 2 disagrees
- TS is for Voice with optional chat. Not a persistent chat app. Guest • Aug 2017 • 8 agrees and 4 disagrees
- Choose whether you want to host your own server for free or rent. Better permission system than discord. usernamehere • Oct 2016 • 8 agrees and 5 disagrees
