Gadu-Gadu is financed by the display of advertisements. As with ICQ, users are identified by their serial numbers. There are numerous add-ons available to provide extra features. The official version provides over 150 smiley icons, and allows off-line messages, data dispatch, and VoIP. Since version 6.0, an experimental SSL secure connection mode can be used. The manufacturer is based in Warsaw, Poland.

One of the most popular features of Gadu-Gadu is the status option, allowing users to display short text messages visible under their buddy icons on other users' contact lists. Gadu-Gadu uses its own proprietary protocol. Many unofficial plugins have been created to expand its capabilities. Several other instant messagers have the ability to communicate with GG protocol such as Tlen.pl, a Polish instant messenger, as well as English language interface Miranda IM (Windows), Adium and Proteus (Macintosh), Gaim (Multiplatform), Kopete (Linux) and AmiGG (AmigaOS and MorphOS).

Gadu-Gadu is the most popular IM in Poland. There are over 5 million registered accounts, and every day approximately 2.5 million users are online.

Many users consider the latest version too overloaded by unnessesary addons (Gadu-Gadu Radio Station etc.), so the older versions (especially 6.1 build 158) are still as popular as the new one. However, the new version is generally regarded as being much more stable.
