About Discord
Discord organizes communities into servers with text channels, voice rooms and video. Originally built for gamers, it now hosts every kind of community and small team, with roles, bots and rich moderation tools. Core features are free; Nitro adds perks.
About Slack
Slack is the channel-based messaging platform that organizes team communication by topic. It integrates with thousands of tools, supports huddles and clips, and replaces long email threads with searchable conversations. Free tier limits message history; paid plans unlock archives and workflow automation.
