# Slack pricing

Business messaging built around channels and workflows, acquired by Salesforce for $27.7B in 2021. Positioned as the alternative to email threads for team communication. Distinctive for its integrations depth (2,500+ apps) and the way it exposed how much internal knowledge lives in messages. Priced per ACTIVE user (not per seat) — inactive users don't bill, but active-member spikes surprise finance teams. Salesforce raised Business+ tier from $12.50 to $15/user in 2026 to fund AI features.

## Current entry price

**$8.75/month** billed monthly. **$7.25/month** billed annually (save 17%).

## All tiers

| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Key limit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Free | $0 | $0 | 90-day message history + 10 integrations |
| Pro | $8.75 | $7.25 | unlimited history + unlimited apps |
| Business+ | $18 | $15 | SSO + compliance + AI features |
| Enterprise+ | custom | custom | multi-workspace + advanced admin |

## Recommendation

In other words, Slack is worth it for teams of 20+ that live in channels and need deep integrations with Salesforce, Google Workspace, or Zapier's 8,000+ apps. Pro covers most teams; Business+ unlocks SSO. Setup is instant, but channel discipline is a real skill. Best-in-class app directory (2,600+ integrations). Downside: gets expensive fast past 100 users, notification overload is the top pain point at scale, and Business+ went up ~20% in July 2026.

## Alternative to consider

Small team, budget-first? Google Chat (free with Workspace) or Discord (free). Need async-only? Twist by Doist.
