    A bit weird that they labelled SimpleX’s businessmodel freemium. AFAIK every functionality is free, just like other messengers they list.

      Hi there, fair enough that’s true for now, but we tried to future proof it by putting Freemium based on what they say here

      https://simplex.chat/faq/#how-are-you-funded

      “What will be the business model? We are focusing on product-market fit, and as such the business model is still a work in progress. However, the app will have a freemium model with extra features or capabilities for paid users (taking into consideration a potential formula like 5% paying $5/month is $3/user/year - ~90% gross profit margin).”
