Review

“The default choice for team chat, now deeply integrated with everything.”

Slack popularized channel-based team messaging and remains the standard most competitors are still measured against.

Its enormous app directory means it usually integrates with whatever other tools your team already uses.

Pro

$8.75/mo

Unlimited history, group calls

Notion

All-in-one workspace for notes, docs, and databases.

Independent

No paid placements, ever.

Hands-on tested

Real use, not vendor demos.
