Why teams look for Slack alternatives

These are the reasons people start searching for “Slack alternative” in the first place.

Message history limits on free tier force upgrades

Notification overload — channels multiply and context gets lost

Per-user pricing across a whole org adds up to serious money

The real cost of Slack

SaaS subscriptions compound. A custom build is a one-time investment that pays for itself.
