A better way to

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Gratonite offers real-time text chat, voice channels, servers, and roles — the core of what makes Discord useful. But we also add spatial voice, a cosmetics marketplace, and an auction house that Discord doesn’t have.
Can I use Gratonite without a phone number?
Absolutely. We don’t require phone verification to join or create communities. Your privacy matters.
Is Gratonite open source?
Yes. Our code is publicly available on GitHub. You can inspect it, contribute, and verify that we do what we say.
Does Gratonite work for gaming communities?
Yes. Gratonite was built with gaming communities in mind — low-latency voice, rich text chat, and community cosmetics make it a natural fit.
Is Gratonite free for large communities?
Yes. There are no user limits, no message limits, and no premium tiers required for larger servers.
