ZonChat is a French online chat service that connects people for real-time conversations, local connections and community discussions. Users can find people in their city or region through postcode-based location features, join public chat rooms organized by topic or place, or create their own public and private rooms. The service also offers direct messages, photo and video sharing, voice messages, and video calls. ZonChat says its core chat features are free, with no subscription, hidden fees or time limits; an optional Premium offer is available for profile customization and does not unlock chat functions.

A free account, created with a username, email address and postcode, lets users keep conversations and contacts across devices. The site works in a mobile or desktop browser without requiring an app. ZonChat describes its service as actively moderated, with user reporting, automated detection of inappropriate behavior and additional protections for minors. Its website also publishes guides and articles on online privacy, community participation, safety and consent.
