What is Troop Messenger?
Troop Messenger is an office chat and calling tool from Hyderabad's Tvisha group, built as an Indian alternative to Slack and Microsoft Teams. Its main audience is Indian SMEs, manufacturers and government-linked organisations that want internal messaging under their own control. The vendor's on-premise page lists the Indian Air Force, Jindal Poly Films, Mold-Tek Group and Toppan Speciality Films among its clients, which tells you where its strength lies: security-conscious buyers rather than startups looking for a huge app ecosystem.
The cloud product covers one-to-one and group chat, audio and video calls, screen sharing, a shared code editor, live location tracking and guest users it calls Orange Members. Admins get role-based access, bulk user upload, feature access controls, IP and platform restrictions, audit logs exported to PDF or Excel, and a choice between plain, standard or end-to-end encryption. Apps exist for web, Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux, and the interface is available in 13 languages.
Pricing is in rupees and per user per month. The pricing page shows a Free tier (up to 50 users, 50 GB), Premium at a limited-offer Rs 149 (listed price Rs 234) and Enterprise at Rs 299 (listed Rs 474), with taxes added on top. A Superior tier for 500+ users is marked coming soon. Every paid plan has a 7-day trial, and the self-hosted edition, Troop-GRIT, has a 15-day trial but is sold only on quote.
The weak spots are polish and ecosystem. The integrations list is short (Google Drive, Dropbox, Zapier), the pricing page carries stale promotional text referring to November 2021, and several add-ons such as CRM and time tracking are still labelled upcoming. If you need hundreds of native app connectors, Slack or Teams fit better. If you need chat on your own Linux server behind a firewall, Troop Messenger is one of the few Indian options that offers it.
What works well
- +Self-hosted Troop-GRIT edition runs on your own Linux server, private cloud or air-gapped network
- +Admins can choose plain, standard or end-to-end encryption for chats, calls and conferences
- +Free tier covers up to 50 users with 50 GB storage, enough for a small office
- +Prices are quoted in Indian rupees, so there are no dollar conversion surprises on renewal
- +Native desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux, plus Android and iOS
- +Audit logs, IP restrictions and screenshot controls suit regulated or defence-linked buyers
- +Built-in Mattermost migration tool helps teams moving off that platform
What to watch out for
- −Only a handful of published integrations: Google Drive, Dropbox and Zapier
- −Paid prices are shown as limited-time offers, so renewal pricing is unclear
- −Superior plan and several add-ons such as CRM are still marked coming soon
- −On-premise pricing is not published and needs a sales quote
- −No security certifications such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2 are named on the features page
Best suited for: Indian manufacturers and PSU-style organisations that want chat hosted on their own servers · Small offices under 50 people that want free team chat with file sharing · IT teams that need code snippets, screen sharing and a shared code editor in chat · Companies with field staff who benefit from live location tracking

Troop Messenger — frequently asked questions
How much does Troop Messenger cost in India?+
Troop Messenger has a Free plan for up to 50 users. Premium is offered at Rs 149 per user per month (listed price Rs 234) and Enterprise at Rs 299 per user per month (listed Rs 474). These are shown as limited-time offers, so confirm the renewal price before signing a long contract.
Is GST included in Troop Messenger prices?+
No. Troop Messenger's pricing page marks paid plans with 'taxes as applicable', so GST is added on top of the per-user price. Its terms say fees are quoted in Indian rupees unless stated otherwise, which means Indian buyers are billed in INR rather than dollars and should get tax added at invoice time.
Does Troop Messenger have a free plan or free trial?+
Yes to both. Troop Messenger's Free plan supports up to 50 users with 50 GB storage, covering chats, groups and file sharing. Premium and Enterprise come with a 7-day free trial, and the self-hosted Troop-GRIT edition offers a 15-day trial of the full on-premise version before you buy.
Can Troop Messenger be installed on our own server?+
Yes. Troop Messenger sells a self-hosted edition called Troop-GRIT that runs on your own servers, private cloud on AWS or Azure, or air-gapped networks. For up to 100 users it needs a 64-bit Linux server with 4 GB RAM minimum (8 GB recommended), 2 vCPUs, Docker and MySQL 5.7. Pricing is by quote.
Troop Messenger vs Slack: which is better for an Indian company?+
Troop Messenger is cheaper in rupee terms and offers on-premise hosting, which Slack does not. Slack has a far larger integration marketplace and more polish. Choose Troop Messenger if data control, INR billing and self-hosting matter most; choose Slack if your team relies on many third-party app connections.
Does Troop Messenger have mobile and desktop apps?+
Troop Messenger has Android and iOS apps, a web messenger and desktop apps for Windows (32 and 64-bit), macOS and Linux. The mobile apps support fingerprint and face unlock. This makes it practical for offices mixing shop-floor staff on phones with desk staff on Linux or Windows machines.
Is Troop Messenger secure?+
Troop Messenger lets admins pick plain, standard or end-to-end encryption for chats, calls and conferences, and adds multi-factor authentication, LDAP or Active Directory SSO, IP restrictions and exportable audit logs. Its features page does not name certifications like ISO 27001 or SOC 2, so ask the vendor for audit documents if you need them.
How long does Troop Messenger take to set up?+
The cloud version of Troop Messenger can be started the same day: sign up, then add users one by one or by bulk upload from the admin panel. The on-premise edition takes longer because you install Docker, register, configure SSL on Linux and set firewall rules, so you need someone comfortable with Linux.
Which video calling features does Troop Messenger include?+
Troop Messenger Premium adds audio calls and one-to-one video calls. Enterprise adds remote screen sharing, unlimited video conferencing and call takeover. Group calls support screen share, and a 'Join Now' option lets members join an ongoing call. For heavy webinar use, a dedicated meeting tool may still be needed.
What support does Troop Messenger offer?+
Troop Messenger provides email support on the Free plan and adds live chat support from Premium upward, according to its pricing page. The support address is support@troopmessenger.com. The vendor is based in Hyderabad, so Indian business hours are well covered, though round-the-clock phone support is not advertised.
