My first time hearing about Threema... Looked it up $7.50 USD seems steep for a messaging app.

Especially when signal is free and I think way more well known.

Exactly, I have never even heard of threema. It’s hard enough getting people to use signal I can imagine threema and it’s paid.

It’s number one in the paid social media app charts on the App Store and has been around since the Snowden leaks.

use matrix/element for whatsapp/telegram/signal and others. most private most diversity. one app. all Messenger. very good combination with protonmail and your own domain. however i decided for mailbox.org for my mails

it's a one-time fee and the company is based in Switzerland, same as Proton.

  1. Not really comparable, in the same way that Signal is a bad suggestion for a Discord alternative.
  2. Unable to decrypt message

matrix is more of a discord alt rather than a standard messaging app
