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.

HushChat is a feature inside SilentDragonLite: https://git.hush.is/hush/silentdragonlite

Yes, you must pay for your privacy when using HUSH. If you are not paying for your privacy, you are the product, and don't have any. 1 HUSH = 10000 encrypted messages, on average.
