We estimate that by 2025, Signal will require approximately $50 million dollars a year to operate—and this is very lean compared to other popular messaging apps that don’t respect your privacy.

+1 for this. From my tests, SimpleX seems fast, reliable, secure, and private. I haven’t tried daily driving it, though.

Downside is minor bugs re inviting friends:

Gets confused by invites from Facebook (can’t automatically strip the trailing tracking code from the URL).

Fails scan of QR invite with your maybe camera app. Must scan from app.
