Freesbe

Compare

Chat, calls and an inbox, with nobody on call for the server.

Rocket.Chat's free Starter plan is self-managed, for up to 50 users, with video calls through integrations and commercial plans quoted by sales. Freesbe is hosted in the region you choose, with huddles and meetings built in, a customer inbox on every plan and a phone system add-on, free for up to 10 people, then a listed price per person.

  • Calls and meetings built in: huddles in any channel, meetings with a lobby, recordings and AI notes.
  • A customer inbox for web chat, support email, WhatsApp and Telegram, as threads in a channel.
  • Hosted in the EU, US, APAC or Oceania, with an audit log and an export in Slack's format.
  • A listed price per person, and a free plan with no server to look after.

For Teams that picked Rocket.Chat to own their chat and would rather own their time.

Calls that don't need an integration

A huddle starts in any channel or DM with up to 20 people and a shared screen. A scheduled meeting has a short link, your logo and a lobby, and guests join from a browser. Record it, or transcribe it without recording, and the notes with decisions and action items are posted to the channel.

Customers in the same channels

A chat bubble on your website, your support address, WhatsApp and Telegram each land as threads in a channel. Hand a conversation to a colleague, keep internal notes beside it, answer with a saved reply or the one AI suggests. Texts to your Freesbe numbers join them with the phone system add-on.

The admin controls, without the ops

Pick the data region at sign-up. Require Google or Microsoft sign-in on Corporate and Enterprise, a second factor on Business, Corporate and Enterprise, set file and retention rules, read the audit log and export the data. Apps with Slack-style manifests, incoming webhooks in Slack's format, a REST API and AI agents over MCP cover the integrations.

Where Rocket.Chat is the better fit

Rocket.Chat runs on your own servers, on-premises, in a private cloud or air-gapped, with federation to other servers and a marketplace of apps. Government and defense teams, and anyone whose rule is that the data never leaves their hardware, should stay with it.
