Private group chat without the bill, the ads, or the compromises
No per-seat pricing. No ads. No AI.
Free to use. Upgrade if you send a lot of files.
Free to join. Invite-only at launch.
01
More control. Out of the box.
Most chat apps give you a profile photo and a notification toggle and call it settings. Pigeon lets you decide which side the menu lives on, how messages are aligned, your accent color, how time and dates display, whether you see usernames or photos next to messages — globally or per chat. Your username color. The shape of profile photos. The order your chats appear in. What counts as "read." These aren't premium features. They're just how it should work.
02
No ads. No AI. Private by default.
Pigeon will never run ads, never use AI, and your messages will only ever be visible by those in your chats. Your data is never shared, never sold, and we couldn't even if we wanted to. Privacy isn't a feature. It's the foundation.
03
Full quality files. No expiration. Yours to keep.
WhatsApp compresses photos until they're unusable. Slack locks your history the moment you hit the free limit. Pigeon sends your files, photos, and videos in full quality and always encrypted. Upgrade from free to send larger files and more of them. Set a storage buffer so your send limit never runs out mid-project. Every file is encrypted on your device before it leaves. Only your team has the key.
04
Invite 30 people. Only pay to send more files.
Slack charges per seat. Bring two clients and a contractor into a project and you're already paying for people who check in twice a week. Pigeon charges nothing per seat - invite up to 30 members per chat - the bill doesn't change. Each person's send limit is their own - send files up to 10MB for free. Upgrade to a paid plan to increase your personal file send limits.

Run your chats the way you want.
Set messages to auto-expire after 7, 30, or 90 days — or never. Wipe your entire message history from a chat in one tap. Choose whether your chat lives only on member devices or backs up as encrypted data nobody can read. Control who can add or remove members. New members get full history or only messages from the day they join — your call. If you get a new phone, your history recovers automatically from other chat members.
Built for a specific kind of team.
Pigeon is built for small professional teams — agencies, consultancies, freelancers, property and construction teams — who need something more serious than Discord but don't need a $300/month enterprise tool to get there. If that's you, you're in the right place.
iPhone first. More platforms coming.
Pigeon will launch as an iOS app first. Android, Mac, and additional platforms are close behind — built in the right order rather than shipped half-finished.
