What it does
TrueConf Server is a self-hosted communications platform with personal and group messaging, channels, chat folders, and file sharing alongside video conferencing. The vendor says it can be deployed on-premises, including in environments without internet access. Its pricing page lists a free Server plan with messaging for up to 1,000 users and paid Server licenses starting at $10 per user per year.
TrueConf Server combines team messaging with video communication under an organization-controlled deployment. The instant-messaging page describes personal and group chats, channels, chat folders, and file sharing, while the broader server can run on-premises. The vendor also describes offline-network deployment for organizations that need messaging and conferencing inside their own infrastructure.
The official pricing page lists TrueConf Server Free for messaging for up to 1,000 users and paid Server licenses starting at $10 per user per year. Messaging is part of a communications suite rather than a standalone chat service, so buyers should consider the conferencing and deployment components alongside chat. I reviewed the messaging and pricing pages; I did not install a server or test an offline network deployment.
