Team chat apps compared: prices and price hikes
Team messaging apps for channels, DMs and threads, compared on what a real team pays each month and on calls, history, integrations, guests, AI, security and self-hosting.
Prices at a 10-person team
- Microsoft Teams: free
- Zoho Cliq: $18/mo
- Slack: $87.50/mo
Prices are total USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12) for the cheapest plan that runs a team's chat with full, unlimited searchable message history: 10 or 50 members, and 25 members signing in through SAML single sign-on. A free plan counts as $0 only when it covers the team with no message-history, member or storage cap it would hit.
