Mumble is a low latency chat server. You join a server, people join your channel, you chat. Its designed for public group conversations, like in games.

Tox is more like Skype, but it has no central server. You add friends to a buddy list and chat with them, you add more people to the chat and it becomes a group chat.

mumble is more of an alternative to TeamSpeak (http://www.teamspeak.com/)
