About Chanty
Chanty is a commercial team communication tool that combines chat with tasks and voice and video calls. The vendor emphasizes unlimited message history and a simple workspace for employees and AI agents, and it positions itself for small teams that want a lightweight Slack alternative.
Solution pages cover audiences from realtors, restaurants and property managers to healthcare, retail, education, coaching, marketing, IT specialists, logistics firms and internal communications teams, and the vendor mentions HIPAA compliance. It also publishes a help center, a blog, a community, a library, calculators and a page comparing Slack alternatives.
Chanty is a hosted service with a free plan advertised on its homepage, a demo option and a pricing page for paid plans. It is not self-hosted, and it suits small businesses that want team chat without a heavy enterprise suite.
