What it does
Softros LAN Messenger is a self-hosted office messaging application for communication within a company LAN or WAN. Its official page describes peer-to-peer group chat, broadcast messages, and file transfers without requiring a dedicated server. The purchase page lists a perpetual license at $12.95 per user for one to five users, with volume discounts and one year of updates included.
Softros LAN Messenger is aimed at organizations that want internal messaging to stay within their own network. The vendor describes peer-to-peer messaging, group chats, broadcast messages, and file transfers, and says the application does not require a dedicated server. That makes its model different from cloud channel platforms: teams deploy the client for communication over their LAN or WAN.
The purchase page lists a one-time perpetual license of $12.95 per user for one to five users, with volume discounts and one year of software updates included. The product is oriented toward internal network messaging rather than a hosted workspace with persistent cloud channels. I reviewed the product and purchase pages; I did not install the software or test network behavior.
