Charging per network makes sense to me. I would only use this for iMessage and signal, so it’s only worth a buck or two a month for me. If I was using everything offered I would gladly pay $10 a month.

I would pay $100/mo for it.
I think it's just not a pain point for everyone. In a lot of countries, "everyone" uses a single platform and it's not a big deal.
As a US user of 5 apps, some for business, it's just a mess and a constant source of friction.

Depends on what countries you have in mind, but it's pretty much the same elsewhere. Messenger, Instagram DMs, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Viber, Discord, Telegram, Signal... You just need to have all of them and this seems like a very elegant solution for having all your messages in one place.

Agreed. I would kill to not have to use Snapchat's app to talk to some of my friend groups. Same goes for Instagram.
Also, why does the site ask for an email address to get started? An explanation of why along with the on boarding process would be useful.
That aside, the Meet Our Team section on the homepage shows “This is some text inside of a div block.” on the right. Is this an oversight or is it some inside joke?
