Why choose Element or Chanty?
In terms of features, both platforms offer chat, file sharing, mentions, voice messages, groups/channels, GIFs, and threads. However, Chanty has some unique features such as 1-1 and group video calls, task management, and "do not disturb" mode. On the other hand, Element offers more advanced features such as customizable domains, document viewer, and end-to-end encryption. Overall, both platforms offer a range of features and integrations, but Chanty may be a better fit for smaller teams with a lower budget, while Element offers more advanced security options and customization.
