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.
About Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams bundles chat, video meetings and file collaboration with deep Office 365 integration. It's the default for organizations already inside the Microsoft ecosystem, with a capable free tier for small groups.
