Cryptocoins which are based on Monero have no protocol-level encrypted data, HUSH is based on an improved version of Zcash Protocol, which does.

HushChat does have some forms of "plausible deniability", such as: It is impossible to tell how many people you are communicating with, it could be anywhere between 0 and 8 people and look like a normal network transaction. Also, every normal network transaction looks like a HushChat, there is no way to tell which transactions are chats and which are not. They all look the same at the protocol level.
