Brosix

COMMS
Velocity5.0

Secure instant messenger for business teams with screen sharing, voice and video chat

At 20, Brosix steps beyond internal chat into external communities and mobile calling.

Current state
Brosix is a 20-year-old team-messaging platform that markets itself on stability and simplicity, and its recent output mixes anniversary content with steady capability catch-up. The two substantive moves are private channels and communities that open the tool to clients and partners rather than just internal teams, and audio/video calling on iOS and Android. Around them sit fixed-price Essentials plans for small teams, a Pipedream automation integration, and a new partner referral program.
Where it's heading
Brosix is pushing past its internal-messaging roots on two fronts, extending communication to external stakeholders and closing mobile feature gaps, while using fixed-price SMB plans and integrations to defend its small and mid-team niche against Slack and Teams. The cadence is modest and the framing conservative, but the direction is widening the surface beyond internal chat.
Prediction
Expect Brosix to keep filling mobile-to-desktop parity gaps and to build out the channels and communities capability with moderation and membership controls as it leans into external-facing use cases; the anniversary promotions point to a retention push through mid-2026.
