Tox is merely a protocol. Not the same. Guest • Jul 2017 • 16 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Not the multiprotocol experience and selling point of Pidgin. Simply its own program. Guest • Aug 2017 • 9 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Pidgin is not a chat service, it's an application to connect to other services. Tox is a service itself. In fact, there is a Tox plugin *for* Pidgin. steakwipe • Sep 2017 • 6 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree It only supports its own protocol, does not support any other protocols like gtalk, AIM etc. Guest • Oct 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Doesn't support multiple chat protocols like pidgin Guest • Oct 2017 Disagree Agree Tox does not support ANY of the protocols Pidgin supports.

So instead of allowing you to use all your existing accounts it requires you to use their account. The beauty of Pidgen is that you can connect with your friends using the service they use instead of trying to sell them on the service you want to use.
