Chanty

Chanty is a team collaboration and communication app that combines chat, audio and video calls, and built-in task management in a simple, affordable package. It targets small and mid-sized teams that find Slack or Microsoft Teams too expensive or complex, offering the core of team messaging plus lightweight project features without the enterprise sprawl.

The app centers on a single, searchable message hub called Teambook that organizes conversations, tasks, files, and links in one place. Teams get public and private conversations, voice messages, audio and video calls with screen sharing, and the ability to turn any message into a task with a built-in Kanban board, blurring the line between chat and lightweight project management.

Chanty offers a free plan for up to five members and a Business plan at 3 dollars per user per month billed annually (4 dollars monthly), which unlocks group calls, unlimited integrations, more storage, screen sharing, and a 99.9 percent uptime guarantee with priority support. Its low, transparent pricing makes it a popular budget alternative to Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Chat for cost-conscious small teams.
