Element provides messaging and collaboration built on the open Matrix standard. Rooms, calls and file sharing support team work, while Matrix federation can connect separate organizations. The provider describes end-to-end encrypted messaging and calls; hosting and connectivity depend on your deployment.
The current pricing page positions the free, self-hosted Community suite for non-professional deployments and evaluation. Enterprise adds professional server features and support; Sovereign targets isolated, air-gapped installations. Self-hosting requires server operation, updates and backups, so free software still involves operating work and costs.
