Where work happens. Channel-based messaging for teams.
We've listed 3 alternatives to Slack. The top competitors are: Microsoft Teams, Discord, Zoom.
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.”
