A lot of users here are asking what the need for the ADAMANT Messenger is when there are so many free messaging applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, etc.
To give you some perspective, the main purpose of the ADAMANT Messenger is to provide
security, anonymity, and privacy. If these traits are not important to you, then they cannot be compared to free applications that do not provide these features. Many instant free messaging softwares provide some form of verification (usually a phone number or email address), but ADAMANT requires none.
When you use a "free" messenger, you're paying in other ways. Your email address, phone number, public connections, location, IP, device information, interests, images, and other sensitive information is transferred to these centralized companies that decide how to use it. Your information can be sold to any government, corporation, or conglomerate that they choose. We can see this happening around the world with the use cases of "Big Data".
With ADAMANT, you know exactly what price you're paying. There is nothing hidden, it's an open-source project.
You can view a full list of comparisons in the following table:

Privacy and freedom is simply a human right, and cannot be denied.
Perhaps some of the users here may be looking at things the wrong way, by comparing ADAMANT to these free messaging applications, thus invalidating the need for any use cases of the ADAMANT Messenger. This is simply not the scenario for every human being in the world. Value from the ADAMANT Messenger will be provided to the individuals that require and use it, regardless of their location around the world.
