VisitNheko vs Wire
What both publish
| Fact | Nheko | Wire |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption | Nheko supports end-to-end encryption, but its current implementation has never been audited and the project makes no security guarantees for it. | Wire says messages, conference calls, and files are end-to-end encrypted, and only conversation participants can decrypt the information. |
| Messaging | It supports creating, joining, and leaving rooms; invitations; file and emoji sharing; replies; read receipts; and message redaction. | Messaging supports groups, conversation search, sketches, reactions, file sharing, and audio and video messages. |
| Support | The README directs users seeking help with the undocumented D-Bus API to the #nheko:nheko.im Matrix room. | The pricing page lists standard support and optional premium support with first replies within 16 hours during business hours, premium+ within 4 hours, and optional 24/7 platinum support. |
