Slack

The team messaging platform with built-in AI summaries, search and workflow generation.

🏢 Slack📅 Launched 2013

What is Slack

Slack (a Salesforce company since 2021) is the corporate messaging standard. In June 2025 it changed pricing to bundle basic AI into Free and Pro: AI conversation summaries, AI workflow generation, AI search. Business+ ($15/user/mo) adds Advanced AI (richer summaries, workflow generation, AI search), native DLP, expanded SSO/SCIM/EMM and Salesforce features. Enterprise+ is the new top tier. The personal Slack agent 'understands' conversations, files and projects in the workspace. Annual saves ~20%. Free keeps limited history.

Our verdict

Worth considering

Indispensable for distributed teams. Free is better than ever thanks to AI; Business+ is the sweet spot for DLP and Salesforce buyers.
