Private Alternative

Best Skype Alternative for Privacy

A secure Skype alternative for private conversations

Skype is owned by Microsoft and has a history of surveillance cooperation. zkChat provides encrypted communication independent of any big tech company.

Why Switch from Skype?

Skype is owned by Microsoft and has cooperated with surveillance programs

Skype's encryption is not end-to-end by default

Skype requires a Microsoft account, zkChat requires nothing

Skype stores chat history on Microsoft's servers

Where Skype Still Wins

  • -Skype supports video conferencing and screen sharing
  • -Skype offers phone number calling (SkypeOut)
  • -Skype has enterprise integration (Microsoft 365)
