Koda gives your gaming squad, stream community, or creator circle a private space to talk — without a platform reading every message and deciding what you can say.
Everything you need to run your community — without handing your conversations to a corporation.
Every message in every channel is end-to-end encrypted. Your conversations live on your devices — not in a company database being read, analysed, or sold to advertisers. Private is the default, not a premium setting.
Create a server for your guild, your stream community, or your group of friends. Build text channels, voice channels, and subscriber-only areas — all with proper role and permission controls.
Squad calls, team strats, co-streams, community watch parties — your voice sessions are private too. What happens in your voice channel stays in your voice channel.
One-on-one DMs between you and your contacts are fully private. Safety numbers let you verify you’re talking to who you think you are — important when managing a large community.
Subscription tiers, digital product sales, subscriber-only channels. Run your community economy directly inside Koda — keep your audience close and your revenue stream steady.
Robust moderation tools, server audit logs, content ratings, parental controls, and role-based permissions — because privacy doesn’t mean unmoderated. Your server, your rules.
Most platforms encrypt messages in transit — meaning they’re encrypted between your device and the company’s server, where they get decrypted and stored in plain text. That’s not private. That’s a filing cabinet with a padlock on the front door.
Koda encrypts messages on your device before they leave. Our servers store encrypted data we can’t read. We’re not going to scan your conversations to serve you ads, report you to advertisers, or make your content decisions for you.
When you’re coordinating a raid, planning a stream, or just hanging out on a Friday night — that conversation is nobody’s business but yours. Koda’s voice is private from the ground up.
The server routes encrypted audio it can’t decode. No one at Koda, no advertiser, no algorithm is listening to your calls and using what you say to target you.
Build a community that’s actually yours — not rented space on someone else’s platform that can deplatform you, algorithm you into irrelevance, or keep 30% of everything you earn.
Koda gives you the tools to monetise your community directly: subscription tiers, digital product sales, and subscriber-only channels — all in the same place your audience already hangs out.
Gate content behind a monthly plan. Your paying subscribers get access; everyone else sees the lock. Full control over who sees what.
Sell downloads, templates, art packs, sample packs, or any digital file — directly to your community with pay-what-you-want pricing.
Make your server findable. Browsers see your name, description, and member count — nothing inside until they join. Your community’s content stays private.
Schedule stream events, gaming sessions, community calls. Members RSVP and get reminders — no third-party calendar link needed.
An honest comparison — no marketing spin.
