What the community says
Mostly positiveUpdated July 2026
Teams stay on Slack because everyone they work with is already there — the network effect is the moat — but per-seat pricing is the recurring complaint, pushing smaller orgs and nonprofits toward Discord or the free tier.
“We use Slack at work, and everyone we work with uses Slack, and we all work together with Slack Connect… I think that network effect is probably the only meaningful differentiation in that space.”
via Hacker News →“It's funny how people complain about Slack pricing but I've been using it for our company (nearly 100 people) for nearly a decade without paying a dime.”
via Hacker News →“A nonprofit I help out just moved from Slack to Discord for a very simple reason: Slack pricing was too expensive, and as the amount of people increased, the price continues to climb.”
