Snikket launched their XMPP hosting in March this year. From the looks of it you can pay for one account where you'd be admin for a group of friends, family and give them accounts.

For Android Conversations is really nice I think. Conversations is available for free on F-Droid but you can support the developer by buying the app on Google PlayStore. Does OMEMO by default.Video calls with Conversations always worked very well for me (but this depends on which XMPP provider the other person uses), better than Signal. There are some Conversation forks on F-Droid as well with different features.

Or you could just donate to the dev directly rather than give google a cut .

Indeed! https://conversations.im has a Donations section.

Yep

I agree with donation to upstream Conversations since it is the basis of many forks, but I still prefer the differences of Cheogram: 1) webxdc support, 2) black theme (not dark). The JMP support stuff could be great if I had a use for it, but currently don’t.
