What is ChatX?

ChatX is a communication platform that combines text-based chat with video and audio calling capabilities. It allows you to create and customise secure chatrooms where teams or groups can communicate together, then jump into calls with up to 10 participants without switching applications. The platform is designed for groups who need both asynchronous messaging and real-time conversation in one place. It works on a freemium model, meaning basic features are available at no cost with optional paid upgrades for additional functionality. ChatX is particularly useful for small teams, project groups, or communities that want a straightforward alternative to juggling multiple communication tools.
