Frequently Asked Questions

Is HushKey really free for individuals?

Yes. The Personal plan gives you full end-to-end encryption, self-destructing messages, and contact verification at no cost. We believe private communication is a fundamental right, not a premium feature.

What happens to my data if I cancel my Pro or Team plan?

Your messages remain end-to-end encrypted and accessible on your devices. Cloud backup access pauses until you re-subscribe, but your locally stored messages are always yours.

Can I switch plans anytime?

Absolutely. Upgrade or downgrade at any time. When downgrading, you keep access to your current plan until the end of the billing period.

Do you offer discounts for NGOs and journalists?

Yes. We offer free Pro access for verified journalists and significant discounts for non-profit organizations. Contact our team to apply.

How does HushKey compare to Signal or WhatsApp?

While Signal offers strong encryption, HushKey goes further by eliminating metadata exposure, removing phone number requirements, and providing encrypted cloud backups with keys only you control. Unlike WhatsApp, we collect no metadata whatsoever.
