“Great meeting-feature for remote work”

In my remote team we needed video-calls + chat combined. Arattai let us jump into meetings easily from the same app we use for messaging and no separate tool needed.

Pros :

Cons :

Switched from : Zoom

Reason to switch : I came from using Zoom + a separate chat tool, and the switching overhead was irritating. Arattai combined them which made life simpler.

“Switched over because I wanted a truly Indian-made messenger”

I moved away from my old messenger because I wanted something improved for privacy and made-in-India. With Arattai I now use group chats, voice/video calls, share documents and set up meetings. It’s been a refreshing change.

Pros :

Cons :

Switched from : WhatsApp

Reason to switch : I switched from WhatsApp because I wanted a locally-developed app that emphasised Indian privacy values and offered features like my own “Pocket” storage and meeting options that WhatsApp didn’t emphasise.

“Good for teams and channels, though still growing”

In my small business we set up Arattai channels for internal announcements and used group chats for teams. The “Pocket” feature helped each person keep personal notes/documents. It works nicely.

Pros :

Cons :

Switched from : Slack

Reason to switch : We switched from Slack plus WhatsApp combination because Slack wasn’t ideal for mobile calls/meetings and cost more. Arattai offered one app for team chat, calls & personal storage at lower cost.

“Privacy focus appealed to me but not perfect yet”

Being privacy-conscious, I appreciated that Arattai doesn’t bombard me with ads and claims local storage & India-based architecture. It gives me comfort. But yes, I am holding off full faith until all encryption is done.

Pros :

Cons :

Switched from : Signal Messaging App

Reason to switch : I switched away from Signal because while secure, it lacked the meeting + channel features we needed for business. Arattai offered a compromise: decent privacy + features we wanted.

“Election-talk/creator channels look promising”

I run a small content-page and using Arattai channels I can push updates to followers. It’s nice to have one app for messaging + broadcasts. I’m hopeful it adds more creator tools soon.

Pros :

Cons :

Switched from : Telegram

Reason to switch : We previously used Telegram channels but needed voice/video calls and stronger Indian hosting/privacy – Arattai offered a more local alternative.

“Promising but some bugs and feature gaps still visible”

I decided to try Arattai as part of early-adopter behaviour. It’s good, but I did experience a few bugs and there are still missing features I expect from big apps. I’m keeping it alongside my primary messenger for now.

Pros :

Cons :

Switched from : WhatsApp

Reason to switch : I wanted to evaluate a new alternative while having the old app as backup; I switched because I believed in the Indian-made value proposition of Arattai, but I’m still watching whether it matures fully before completely moving away.

“Loved the multi-device sync & low-bandwidth performance”

I often travel to semi-urban areas with weak connectivity. Arattai’s optimisation for slower networks meant I didn’t lose call clarity or chat performance. That was a big plus.

Pros :

Cons :

Switched from : Telegram

Reason to switch : Telegram was good, but I found chat + document share + calls in one app weren’t optimised for Indian low-bandwidth contexts as well as Arattai.

“Simple and clean UI, my grandma uses it”

I installed Arattai for family chats and calls. My parents and grandparents found it easier than the older app we’d been using because things felt straightforward and not cluttered.

Pros :

Cons :

Switched from : Facebook Messenger

Reason to switch : We were using Facebook Messenger for family chats but it was heavy, with many extraneous features and ads. Arattai felt simpler, lighter and ad-free.

“Free plan for basic use works, paid may be needed later”

For our small non-profit we moved to Arattai because we wanted to reduce costs while still getting voice/video+storage+chat. It works so far. If we grow, we’ll evaluate paid plans or supplementary tools.

Pros :

Cons :

Switched from : Microsoft Teams

Reason to switch : We switched from Microsoft Teams (and separate chat tool) because Teams was over-feature-heavy and costly for what we needed; Arattai felt simpler and more cost-effective.

“Missed some contacts, still building presence”

I convinced my team to try Arattai, but some teammates still prefer the old messenger because others outside our circle aren’t using Arattai yet. So I still keep the older app alongside.

Pros :

Cons :

Switched from : WhatsApp

Reason to switch : I switched because I wanted to adopt Arattai early and push for it in my team but the lack of contacts did slow us down.
