Before you choose

Compare plans and prices

Check whether an app has a free plan, a free trial or a paid starting price. These are different ways to evaluate the cost of a team chat app.

Pricing details can vary by plan. Slack lists a free plan and paid service from $7.25 per user per month with annual billing. Pumble lists a free plan, paid service from $2.49 per user per month with annual billing, and a seven-day trial.

Check supported platforms

Match the supported platforms to the devices your team uses. The comparison includes Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, web and Linux.

An Android app may matter if your team uses Galaxy phones or tablets. Check the other platform entries too if team members use different devices.

Review access and history

Compare guest access and message history before choosing an app. These fields can help you assess how a tool fits conversations with people outside the team and the need to refer to earlier messages.

Check team capacity

Use the maximum-members field to compare an app with your team's size. Check this alongside plan details, since the comparison treats member capacity and pricing as separate fields.

Look at channels and integrations

Compare channels and integrations with the way your team organizes conversations and connects its tools.
