Secretly for Teams review
A low-cost encrypted chat option for mobile teams that need basic administration.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Secretly for Teams is a secure business messaging service for organizations handling confidential communication. It combines end-to-end encrypted messages, voice and video calls, file sharing, organizational administration, and privacy policies. It is aimed at privacy-sensitive teams in legal, healthcare, journalism, and finance, particularly those that want mobile-first communication without a high entry price. Administrators can manage membership and policies without reading members’ message content.
Pricing is structured around a free plan, Premium options, Premium Lifetime, and Teams. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes encrypted chats and calls, group calls up to 8, disappearing messages, screenshot protection, contact verification, a recovery kit, file sharing up to 25 MB, and one device. Premium costs $2.99 per month when billed monthly or $14.99 per year when billed annually, adding desktop and multi-device sync, files up to 1 GB, groups up to 500, group calls up to 50, a custom Secretly ID, and automatic encrypted backup. Premium Lifetime costs $29.99 one time and provides lifetime access to Premium features. Teams includes Premium features plus administration and organizational controls, with custom pricing and a 30-day pilot.
The main fit is a team that values encrypted communication, disappearing-message policies, export lock, centralized billing, and member access revocation. The free tier is practical for small mobile groups, while Premium expands device, file, group, and calling limits. Teams is the more relevant choice for organizations that need enforced policies and administrative oversight. Platform scope is the key constraint: the product is available on iOS and Android, while Windows and macOS desktop apps are listed as coming soon. Teams without desktop requirements may find the focused mobile experience suitable; teams needing established integrations or current desktop support should consider another option.
