The platform includes features like voice and video calls, group chats, and encrypted stickers, all available without long-distance charges. What sets Signal apart from its competitors is its nonprofit status, which allows it to operate independently without relying on advertising or user tracking for revenue. Instead, it is funded by grants and donations from users and supporters. The goal of Signal is to offer a secure and private communication service for individuals and groups who value their privacy.
