Can I use Briar commercially or in a business setting?
▼
Yes — the app is free and open source. As long as your use aligns with the licensing (GPL-3.0 for Android version), you can use it. However, user discovery and management features may not be as enterprise-oriented out of the box.
How many messages or users are allowed per month?
▼
There are no subscription caps listed. Since there’s no central server, usage is limited only by your device’s capacity and network environment rather than a commercial quota.
Can I edit or customise the messages I send (media, attachments, etc.)?
▼
Yes — you can send messages, join forums/blogs, etc. However, features like large group media sharing or broad integrations may be less mature than mainstream apps. Some users report limitations in media handling.
Does it integrate with other platforms or tools (Slack, Teams, etc.)?
▼
No direct integrations listed. Its architecture is focused on decentralized messaging rather than enterprise workflow integrations. You may need custom work if you want to integrate with other systems.
Does the company train future models on my content or use my messages for analytics?
▼
No — messages are stored on your device and synchronized peer-to-peer; there’s no central server harvesting your content. The project emphasizes privacy and minimal infrastructure.
What kind of support or SLA is available?
▼
As an open-source project by a small non-profit team, formal enterprise SLAs are not evident. For mission-critical deployments you may want to evaluate support arrangements or contact the team for custom support.
If I go with the free version, what do I miss compared to a paid plan?
▼
Currently, there is no paid plan listed. So the free version gives you full access to the core capabilities. The trade-offs are more about feature maturity, ecosystem size, rather than pricing.
