Standalone motorcycle intercoms cost premium pricing per rider. Uniq Intercom is a phone-based app: 10-day trial, low-cost yearly subscription after, works with the Bluetooth helmet headset you already own. Your friend with a Cardo, your wife with a Sena, your buddy with an affordable generic — all in the same voice channel.
10-day trial — no credit card. Then a yearly subscription far below any single hardware intercom.
Try Uniq IntercomHardware motorcycle intercoms have been the only option for 15 years. They work, but they're expensive (premium pricing per rider), brand-locked (Cardo only meshes with Cardo, Sena only with Sena), and limited to 1-2 km of practical range. For a couple, a small group, or a casual rider, that's a lot of friction.
In 2024-2025, several phone-based intercom apps appeared (BlinkTalk, BT Talk, HelmChat, Sena Wave). Uniq Intercom is the most complete: works with any helmet headset, supports 10 riders per group, includes route recording and sharing, and uses phone-side processing voice isolation on iPhone + noise cancelling on Android — quality that rivals or beats premium hardware.
Modern phones have advanced noise cancelling that didn't exist in 2020. phone-side voice isolation runs natively. Android phones have noise cancelling and various OEM neural NS pipelines. Uniq plugs directly into these.
A $1000 iPhone has more compute power than the chip in a Cardo Packtalk. Combine that compute with the cheek-pad microphone in any decent helmet headset, and the result is voice that's cleaner than what hardware-only intercoms can deliver in highway wind.
| App | Cost | Riders/Group | Cross-Brand | Route Sharing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uniq Intercom | 10-day trial, full features | 10 | Yes | Yes — public web link |
| BlinkTalk | Tier limited to 2 riders | 2 () / 6 (paid) | Yes | No |
| Sena Wave | Best features require Sena hardware | Sena ecosystem | Best features Sena-only | No |
| BT Talk (Midland) | Add-on, hardware required | Up to 8 | Midland-tied | No |
| Zello (DIY) | Walkie-talkie style | Any phone | No |
Zello is push-to-talk only (you have to press a button to speak), which doesn't work well at highway speed. BlinkTalk's tier caps at 2 riders. Sena Wave only works inside the Sena ecosystem. BT Talk requires Midland hardware. Uniq Intercom is the only one designed from the ground up as a standalone, hardware-agnostic, hands-motorcycle intercom app.
A common mistake: trying to use AirPods or generic earbuds inside a full-face helmet. They don't fit, the microphone catches more wind than voice, and they fall out at speed. You need a proper helmet-mounted Bluetooth headset with a cheek microphone.

No — there's a 10-day trial with all features. After that, a yearly premium subscription unlocks unlimited use. The yearly cost is far below buying a single Cardo or Sena hardware intercom, and one subscription works regardless of how many people are in your group (everyone runs their own trial period first).
For most riders — couples, small groups, daily commuters, weekend tours — yes. The exception is remote off-road riding with no cell signal (Himalayas, deep desert), where Cardo/Sena radio still works without internet. Otherwise, Uniq's voice quality is on par or better thanks to phone-side noise cancelling, and you significant per-rider savings.
10 riders simultaneous, all routed through our servers (not chain-paired Bluetooth that degrades). Tested in production. For larger brigades (50-100 riders typical in PH/BR/IN), riders typically split into 5-10 squads.
Approximately 15 MB per hour of voice. A 4-hour ride uses ~60 MB total — less than a single 5-minute YouTube video at HD.
Both pair their phones to their respective helmet headsets via Bluetooth (like for music). Uniq handles the group voice through their phones. Cardo and Sena hardware never need to talk to each other.
