Why choose Hive or Chanty?
Both platforms offer chat, file sharing, mentions, groups/channels, and gif/emoji options, but Chanty has additional features such as voice messages, 1-1 and group video calls, audio calls, and "do not disturb" mode. Hive, on the other hand, offers roles management, contact management, and workspace and user activity tracking. Both platforms offer mobile, web, and desktop apps, as well as integrations and APIs. Overall, Chanty seems to offer more communication features at a lower cost, while Hive offers more management and tracking options.
