Phound

Phound offers a mobile app for secure, private communication with spam protection, free calls, messaging, and second phone line options. In practice that means replacing internal email with channels and direct messages.

Who is it for? Mostly every team. They also list Messaging, Mobile Apps and VoIP, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Phound is based in Long Beach, California. You can read more at phound.app.

Things worth asking about: search, retention policies, and external guest access. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Phound, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
