About Zhi Plus
Even with the free version of Zhi, normal use is possible, and it does not compromise the feature of end-to-end encryption. Zhi Plus is a paid option that allows paying users access to more generous features, which compensates for some of our server costs, allowing us to continue to keep it free for everyone.
