Questions you may have when comparing Flock and Slack

What's different about Flock and Slack?

Flock lists Direct and group messages, Team channels and Announcement channels. Slack lists Channels, File Sharing and Integrations. Start with the features you would actually use, then check which plan includes them. A shorter feature list doesn't necessarily mean a tool can't do something you need.

Which one will cost me less?

Compare the total for your team, not just the starting price. Check the billing period, currency, number of users, usage limits and renewal rate, then add any extras you need. If you try a free plan or trial, check what happens when you reach its limits.

How do I choose between Flock and Slack?

Pick a task you do often and try it in both tools. If you need Business Instant Messaging Software, start there. See which feels easier to use and works with the tools you already rely on. Before you pay, check the plan limits and whether you can get the support you need.
