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 Zoom
Zoom made video meetings mainstream with reliable quality, one-click joining and rooms that hold hundreds. The free tier caps group calls at 40 minutes; paid tiers add recording, webinars and admin controls.
